NORCROSS, GA. — Champion Chevrolet of Avon has been selected to be the only dealership in Avon, Ind., able to certify its pre-owned vehicles with the exclusive Motor Trend Certified designation. Motor Trend Certified vehicles meet the highest standards in the pre-owned market, with every vehicle inspected, upgraded, and backed by a Motor Trend Certified seal of approval — and equipped with comprehensive vehicle protection from EasyCare, the company announced.
“Our mission at Champion Chevrolet is to earn our customers’ trust and loyalty by delivering sales and service experiences with high quality, excellent value, integrity, and enthusiasm. We strive to exceed the expectations of our customers and employees. With all that being said, we are excited to be a part of the Motor Trend Certified program and offer a certification that nobody else can offer in central Indiana,” said Tim Roberts, the store’s dealer and operating partner.
Motor Trend Certified dealers are carefully selected and appointed based on their focus on quality and a positive customer experience. They must have a history of excellent customer reviews and outstanding service.
“Champion Chevrolet of Avon’s strong commitment to their customers is one of many reasons why they were selected to be the exclusive Motor Trend Certified dealer in Central Indiana,” said Steve Richards, vice president of the Motor Trend program. “We are very excited to have them join this elite group.”
