A Proven Record of Excellence

July 11th, 2025 by

Passion for Winning – Hendrick’s tradition of winning is based on the idea of striving to be the best, not the biggest, and is therefore defined by how we treat our people. 

To be the best automotive retailer, we must provide the industry’s leading car-buying experience, one built on transparency, exemplary service, and genuine care for our customers and their vehicles. Our commitment to being the best is evident in the numerous recognitions we’ve earned, from company-wide honors to individual dealership awards.

While these accolades are proud company wins, they most importantly affirm that our people, passion, and processes are what make Hendrick Automotive Group a trusted destination for both our customers and our teammates.

Winning Together

At Hendrick, excellence is the standard at every level of the organization. Year after year, we are recognized for cultivating a highly productive workplace that allows our employees to thrive, which in turn creates award-winning service and performance.

  • In 2024, Hendrick Automotive Group was named to Forbes’ List of America’s Best Large Employers as well as Forbes’ List of Best Employers in North Carolina.
  • We were honored among Glassdoor’s Top 50 Best-Led Companies in the nation in 2024, a distinction based entirely on ratings and reviews from our own teammates.
  • Since 2019, Hendrick Automotive Group has been rated as the country’s No. 1 dealership group, public or private, for online reputation by Reputation.com. Six consecutive years as the industry’s reputation leader is a testament to the trust and satisfaction we’ve earned with our customers.
  • 39 Hendrick dealerships earned spots in Reputation.com’s online reputation rankings in 2024, including the entirety of the top 10. Measuring company sentiment, visibility, and engagement across several online factors, these rankings reflect our company’s dedication to delivering an exceptional customer experience.

These are more than just accolades; they are proof that when we do better by our employees, they do better by our customers.

Award-Winning Chevy Dealers

Our winning tradition extends to the store level, especially among our Chevrolet dealerships. The relationship between Hendrick Automotive Group and Chevrolet began in 1976 with our very first dealership in Bennettsville, South Carolina, and this relationship remains integral to our growth and success. With 16 Chevrolet dealerships across seven different states backed by a remarkable performance record, we’ve established ourselves as a trusted destination for one of America’s most iconic automotive brands.

  • Since 2000, Hendrick dealerships across all brands have received more than 740 manufacturer awards for exemplary performance and delivering top-tier customer service.
  • Hendrick Chevrolet dealerships have earned a combined 75 General Motors Mark of Excellence Awards, given to select stores that excel in sales, service, and customer satisfaction.
  • 44 General Motors Dealer of the Year Awards. The most prestigious recognition a Chevrolet dealership can earn, this honor is reserved for the top 2% of Chevy dealers nationwide and reflects consistent, elite-level performance across all departments. Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet in Charlotte, North Carolina, has earned this distinction 15 times alone.
  • In 2024, two Hendrick Chevrolet dealerships – Hendrick Chevrolet Hoover (AL) and Rick Hendrick City Chevrolet (NC) – made Reputation.com’s online reputation rankings, reinforcing our commitment to the customer experience.

More than just milestones, these recognitions represent decades of dedication, passion, and performance. Furthermore, it’s a preview of what customers can expect at Hendrick Chevrolet: expert service, an industry-leading buying experience, and a team that’s driven to deliver for every customer.
