Chad Bryan, Gleaner Writer
On Tuesday evening, National Commercial Bank (NCB) staged yet another Auto Dealers' Awards Ceremony at the Hope Botanical Gardens, St Andrew. Both new and used-car dealers, as well as individual sales representatives, walked away with a number of awards.
However, it was Toyota Jamaica and Crichton Automotives that came out as the top new- and used-car dealerships, respectively.
The function was aptly themed 'Fast and the Furious', following on the box office hit film Fast and the Furious 6, released on May 24, which has grossed approximately US$696 million worldwide so far.
Auto Channel garnered a substantial number of the used-car dealer awards. Audrianna Smith won Top Used Car Dealer Sales Representative for 2011-2012, with second place going to Judith Thompson and third place being awarded to Winston McFarlane. Auto Channel was also awarded second place for the dealership with the highest successful NCB auto-loan referrals. Third place went to Bess for Less Car Mart Limited.
Rana Abid Mehmood of Carland Investments Limited took Most Improved Used Car Dealer Sales Representative, while JE and S. Auto Brokers Limited took the award for the Most Improved Used Car Dealer for 2011-2012.
In addition to being awarded the Top Used-car Dealer for 2011-2012, Crichton Automotive Limited was also presented with a gas voucher for $30,000, courtesy of Rubis Energy, Jamaica's Shell licencee.
