CarGurus recently announced that Crown Buick GMC was among the select few dealerships to qualify for the prestigious 2017 Top Dealer Award. The award-winning dealership earned an impressive 4.8 out of 5-star rating.

St. Petersburg, FL (June 26, 2017) - CarGurus recently named the Crown Buick GMC a 2017 Top Rated Dealer.  The annual CarGurus Top Rated Dealer awards are presented to a select group of car dealerships that have received the highest average ratings from shoppers who have submitted dealership reviews on the CarGurus.com website.

“When it comes to awards, we strongly believe in the idea of doing the right thing and everything else will fall into place.  I think that this is why we have so many loyal customers here.  People feel comfortable shopping with us because we treat people with respect first and foremost, and that’s important,” said Craig Blacklidge, GM of Crown Buick GMC.

Dealer ratings and reviews are factored into CarGurus’ proprietary algorithm, which helps ranks search results for shoppers.

According to recent CarGurus poll, 78% of shoppers say they will not buy a car from a dealership without first seeking out reviews of that dealer from other shoppers.

Crown Buick GMC currently boasts a 4.8 out of 5-star rating on the review site.

“We are thrilled to recognize Crown Buick GMC as a Top Rated Dealer,” said Sam Zales, President of Dealer Operations. “Based on CarGurus’ shoppers’ ratings, it is clear the team at Crown Buick GMC is delivering a superior car shopping experience for their customers, and we applaud their high standards for excellence.”
