Three dealers from Vietnam officially became 2015 General Motors’ international grandmasters in San Francisco, California, this weekend.

They were among the 167 dealers in the region that received GM’s highest honour for its dealerships. This is the first time that dealers from Vietnam are awarded with this prestigious title.

Now in its 12th year, the GM International Grandmasters programme was created to reward GM’s best of the best dealers in the region for their excellence. Winners are selected based on vehicle and parts sales, service, customer satisfaction and facility standards. They are judged on both the quantity and the quality of their operations.

“We appreciate the outstanding work that our dealers and their teams are doing every day selling and servicing our Chevrolet vehicles,” said GM executive vice president and president of GM International Stefan Jacoby.

“As the interface between our company and our customers, they are contributing to GM’s record global sales,” Jacoby added.

“Our dealers are key members of our team in Vietnam,” said Gaurav Gupta, GM Vietnam managing director. “Like GM, our dealers are putting the customer at the centre of everything they do to create customers for life. They have truly earned the right to be called grandmasters by qualifying multiple parameters.”

During this year’s four-day Grandmasters programme, which began on May 8, participants received an update on GM’s business, brands and product plans. They also had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of several GM vehicles to experience their excellence.

General Motors and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets. GM, its subsidiaries and joint venture entities sell vehicles under the Chevrolet, Cadillac, Baojun, Buick, GMC, Holden, Jiefang, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling brands.
