Snows MINI Portsmouth has been recognised for giving Motability customers award-winning service.
The showroom in Eastern Road has won a regional award for its work with the Motability Car Scheme, receiving particular praise for its Motability renewals service.
The accolade is part of The Dealer Awards programme run by Motability Operations, which recognises and rewards outstanding customer service provided by local Motability dealerships and ensures that all Motability customers receive exemplary customer service across the scheme’s national dealer network.
The Awards are judged on how a dealer delivers the scheme to customers, which is assessed by customer feedback and reviews of their performance.
As a regional award winner, Snows MINI Portsmouth will now be entered into the national, annual awards, the winners of which will be announced in 2020.
Joel Andresier, Dealer Development Manager at Motability Operations Ltd, said: “The focus of these awards is to thank our dealer partners for providing a consistently positive customer service experience, after all, they are often the first point of contact for our customers.
“It’s important for us to recognise our dealer partners who go above and beyond when representing the Motability Scheme and highlight those who are setting a great example of how to do it well, like Snows MINI Portsmouth. Many congratulations to them on their award.”
Snows MINI Portsmouth recently unveiled the results of a £500k refurbishment, including an improved customer waiting area and parking, a revamped used car display area and the very latest, large screen technology for vehicle configuration.
Celebrating the win Steve Harding, Snows Motability Relationship Manager, said: “We are incredibly proud to win this Motability Dealer Award and are pleased to be recognised for our dedication to working in partnership with the scheme, which is renowned for its high standards.
“We look forward to continuing our award-winning approach to business and customer service and to welcoming many more Motability customers through our doors.”
