Santa Margarita Ford Wins President's Award

Online, April 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - March 31, 2010--Rancho Santa Margarita, California - Santa Margarita Ford has been awarded Ford Motor Company's Top Dealer honor, the prestigious President's Award, for 2009.

This award recognizes excellence in Sales, Service, and Customer Satisfaction, and less than 5% of all Ford Dealers across the country receive this recognition each year. "We are flattered once again to receive this honor, and it's a reflection of the commitment that our employees share to satisfy customers in every department", said Jim Graham, company president. "It's even more worthwhile to be recognized in this difficult market, when many of our competitors have cut back on taking care of their customers, or gone away altogether", Graham added.

The 2009 President's Award was earned by Santa Margarita Ford because they achieved the highest levels of customer satisfaction in both sales and service in groupings with other similar sized Ford dealerships. This is the seventh time Santa Margarita Ford has won the President's Award over the last 13 years, and the second consecutive year that the dealership has achieved Ford Motor Company's highest honor.
