General Motors held its annual GM Dealer Of The Year award ceremony in New York City on March 7, 2008 to present the Jack Smith Leadership Award to its top 115 dealers. Bob Serpentini, president of the Serpentini Chevrolet Auto Group was one chosen from more than 6,700 GM dealers across the U.S.

Those selected exemplify the company's dedication to exceptional sales performance and superior customer service. The Jack Smith Leadership Award, a Steuban crystal obelisk, represents excellence and high achievement.

"GM Dealer Of The Year winners deliver consistently great sales and customer service, and play an active role in the communities they serve," said Rick Wagoner, GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "These elite dealers are the face of GM to thousands of our customers across the country, and we congratulate them for representing GM's best in this, our centennial year."

"It is important to recognize that this exceptional group of General Motors' dealers consistently shows strong sales performance and exceptional customer service. They represent the finest aspects of American business and creativity, and serve as an example to all of us," said Mark LaNeve, vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing, GM North America.

This is Serpentini Chevrolet's third year receiving the Jack Smith Leadership Award.

"We couldn't be more proud," said Bob Serpentini. "The employees at all Serpentini dealerships take pride in ensuring customer satisfaction through service and sales." "I would like to give a special thanks to Jeanine Hein and the rest of her team who are really responsible for us winning this great award."
