SALTMARINE Cars in Co Tyrone has been named as one of the top dealerships in the UK and the best for customer satisfaction in Northern Ireland.
Car magazine Auto Express conducts an annual survey to compile the top 1,000 dealerships in the UK.
Saltmarine's score of 9.1 out of 10 was strong enough to get it into the UK top 40 as well as number one in Northern Ireland.
The company's brands include Ford, Hyundai and Mazda, as well as a used car dealership.
The family-run firm, which was established in 1969 by Neil Salt, operates from a prominent site just off the M1 at Tamnamore near Dungannon.
"It is fantastic to know that we have not only been ranked as the best dealer for customer satisfaction in Northern Ireland, but that our excellent customer service has also made us one of the top 40 dealerships in the UK," said Mr Salt.
"Our team within Saltmarine work hard to provide our customers with the best advice, service and information throughout the entire business."
The results in the Auto Express Driver Power survey are drawn from a combination of two online surveys.
The first survey, completed by new car buyers, rates dealers on factors including the demeanour of sales people, price negotiation, after-sales service and the likelihood of recommending to a friend or family member.
The second survey targets industry associates, including car dealers, garages, repair shops and parts suppliers. This 'peer-to-peer' survey allows those in the industry to identify which car dealers - other than themselves… - they would recommend to their family and friends.
