The dealerships that made it their best year yet
Nearly 1.3 million customer reviews were submitted on Cars.com in 20251 — and this year’s winners rose to the top by consistently delivering the kind of experience today’s shoppers expect.
The Cars.com Dealer of the Year Awards recognize dealerships that lead in what matters most: real customer feedback, strong ratings, and consistent engagement with every review.
This year’s regional and national winners represent eight dealerships across the country that stood out for their transparency, responsiveness, and ability to earn trust in every interaction. Some are repeat winners. Others are being recognized for the first time. All of them have built a reputation their customers continue to validate.
Congratulations to every dealership honored in the 2026 class. And to every dealer watching — the competition for 2027 is already underway.
