Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast gets gonged

The Queensland dealership was recently awarded the Daimler Truck Dealer of the Year award for 2021

Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific recently hosted its annual Daimler Truck Dealer of the Year awards in Melbourne, and it was Queensland dealership Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast who clinched the coveted top spot.

“Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast provides a shining example of customer service and the team has well and truly earned this award with sheer hard work,” said Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead.

“Remarkable customer satisfaction and strong sales across all three brands means Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast is a worthy winner of the Daimler Truck Dealer of the Year award.”

The dealership also won the accolade of Fuso Regional Dealer of the Year for 2021, while staffer Victor Dos Santos was awarded the title of Service Manager of the Year for both Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz.

“The multitude of awards taken home by the Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast team highlights the depth of its customer commitment,” said Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific Director Aftersales and Network Operations, Greg Lovrich.

“Whether it be the person out the front helping a customer select the right truck for the job, or the person behind the service counter or under the truck in one of the service bays, the whole Sunshine Coast team is working hard to serve the customer,” he adds.

Victoria’s Whitehorse Truck Centre in Dandenong won Fuso Metro Dealer of the Year, Mavin Truck Centre in Kempsey (NSW) was Mercedes-Benz Trucks Regional Dealer of the Year, and Daimler Trucks Huntingwood (Sydney) was Mercedes-Benz Trucks Metro Dealer of the Year and Freightliner Metro Dealer of the Year.
