The Best Chevrolet GMC Dealer in Tennessee – Again!

The team at Newton Chevrolet GMC is excited & proud to announce that we have–for the second year in a row–been named the Best Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC Dealership in Tennessee! We are dedicated to helping each and every one of our customers, and this award directly reflects that commitment. To be named best in the state because of the way that we do business in Shelbyville and surrounding areas–we are so proud of our team!

Our General Manager, Justin George, said it best: “What a great honor this is to win the award two years in a row. So proud of our team and how we treat everyone like family.” Two years in a row is exceptional in any year, but especially so in a year that was difficult and challenging for all of us.

Even with the odds stacked against us in the ever-evolving landscape that was 2020, we held onto this award because of the unprecedented pivoting of our team. Ever-flexible, we offered multiple new services in order to provide exactly what our customers needed. This included: offering pick-up & drop-off accommodations for our service customers, and all-online purchase options with our Newton Fastpass™ for customers looking for a new or pre-owned vehicle. Shelbyville-area drivers were presented with these to continue our commitment to putting the customer first, especially when it comes to keeping you safe.

But don’t merely take our word for it, look at these happy faces in this video!

Dealer of the Year

DealerRater annually awards dealerships not by a panel of nominations or judges, but solely on the opinions of real customers and their reviews for dealerships across North America. This is what makes us incredibly proud of this award, because it is not only a testament to our team’s ability to take care of customers needing service on their vehicle or trading up for a new Chevrolet truck, but also a witness to our customer’s own words and feelings that drive them to leave a glowing review for us and our team. As Justin says, “A big thank you to all our valued customers in 2020 that helped us achieve this award!”

DealerRater is the largest dealership review website in America, with over six and a half million published reviews for dealerships all across the United States and Canada. These reviews go through a rigorous process of review, to verify that each and every review is the true opinion of a real person who visited the dealership. This incredibly large amount of feedback gives DealerRater the insight they need into the true customer experience at the dealership they chose to service or buy a new or used car from.

These insights form an algorithm from which DealerRater awards the best dealership both on state and national levels. The award is looking at customer service, friendliness, pricing, experience, and quality of work. The awards and ratings from Dealer Rater exist to help car shoppers choose the best dealership in their area. So when you visit a Dealer of the Year winner like us, you can be sure that you are getting the best car-buying experience possible.

Newton Chevrolet GMC Awards

This is not the first, and definitely not the last, DealerRater award that Newton Chevrolet GMC has been awarded. Since 2018, we’ve been awarded the Consumer Satisfaction award for 4 years in a row now. The Consumer Satisfaction award is given to the top 10% of dealerships, again based on real-life customer ratings. In 2018 as well, we were named as Dealer of the Year for Tennessee for the first time. To sum up, if you are looking for a new Chevy or GMC –we are the best dealership in Tennessee.

Consistently winning these awards, especially when you are the largest dealership, nor in the largest metro area, is not a matter of luck, but of hard work. Every member of our team here at our Shelbyville dealership and service center is wholly dedicated to the work it takes to provide the highest standard of customer care and service. We strive to meet every single need that our customers bring to us, whether it is a financing issue, vehicle indecision, or service question. Our team works together to get the job you need done, when you need it.

About Newton Chevrolet GMC

Purchased and re-established by Newton Motor Group in 2017, we are a fairly new dealership in Shelbyville. Our track record with awards shows that we hit the ground running as we overhauled a dealership to serve the community as its primary goal. This looks like amazing customer service, incredible prices, and a friendly and ready-to-help service drive.

This dedication goes beyond the showroom and service center, as well. Our commitment to our customers and their families has looked like sponsoring community events, quarterly free lunches for police officers or healthcare workers, and starting a college scholarship alongside our sister store, Newton Ford South, for Bedford County high school seniors.

When you visit us, whether for service or buying a new vehicle, you can rest assured that our promise to you is not just to help you, but to Change Your Experience™ of what car-buying should look like. We understand that it is not always easy or fun, and some of you may even have been through really terrible experiences with other dealerships. We want to change that for the better, and our awards and reviews show that we are dedicated to doing just that. We hope you will take the chance on a newer, but well-awarded dealership to see how we can change your car-buying or servicing experience!
