General Motors recently listed Crown Buick GMC as a top-performing U.S. Buick and GMC dealer for 2016. The automotive manufacturer will officially present the dealer with individual GM Mark of Excellence Awards for both brand categories at an awards ceremony scheduled for the early summer. This is the fourth year in a row that the Crown Automotive Group dealership will receive this recognition.

"We feel very honored to receive the GM Mark of Excellence Award. It's a prestigious accolade, representative of Crown Buick GMC's commitment to our customers," said Craig Blacklidge, General Manager of Crown Buick GMC.

The automotive manufacturer presents the GM Mark of Excellence Award annually to top U.S. Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers that exceed key performance and brand standards in a number of categories.
