Square Deal Motors (SDM) Mazda has been awarded top dealer status as the business is crowned ‘Dealer of the Year’ in the national Mazda Dealer League 2020/2021.

With a strong network of 122 dealerships across the UK, the national Mazda Dealer League assesses businesses on a number of merits including overall dealership performance, customer loyalty and customer satisfaction levels for both sales and service across the year. Surpassing the national average, SDM Mazda excelled throughout the year to achieve first place overall in the Mazda Dealer League.

Most notably, the Scottish dealership was commended for its first-class customer experience across its sales and service divisions. As the only category determined by local customer satisfaction levels, the sales and aftersales teams have created strong loyalty within the local community, resulting in high customer retention through excellent service within the dealership right through the life of the vehicle.
