Fiat Chrysler is working towards making its Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Fiat dealerships better than ever, which is why the Italian-American carmaker has created the Customer First Award for Excellence. This is the first year that this award has been in existence, and it has been given out to 124 dealerships across the United States.
To receive this award, dealerships had to complete all required program goals from January 1st to June 30th. A second group of winners will be announced in early 2017 after completing their certification requirements.
