For an astounding 8th time, Kelowna Hyundai wins prestigious President's Award

It's all about incredible customer satisfaction, business savvy, sales excellence, exceptional service operations and being part of the community.

With top rankings in all categories across the board, Kelowna Hyundai has won the prestigious Hyundai President's Award for an awe-inspiring 8th time.

“This award is a tremendous honor and a true reflection of the dedication and passion of our entire team,” said John Kot, president of Kelowna Hyundai.

“Winning the President’s Award eight times speaks to the consistency of our efforts and our unwavering focus on putting our customers first year after year.”

To be specific, Kot said every customer is treated individually, they are sold only what they want and need and after-sales service is always friendly, fast and thorough.

"I liken it to us being a veterinarian," said Kot with a laugh.

"Cars are like people's pets, their babies. And, they want them to be taken care of and be sure they are always in good hands."

Kelowna Hyundai is a true family-owned-and-operated business.

Kot is president, his wife, Trina Kot, is co-owner and their sons, Brandon Kot and Jordan Kot, are vice-presidents.

Sam Ghessesow is general manager and partner.

Eight President's Award wins is a rare and remarkable achievement that puts Kelowna Hyundai among the top of the 225 Hyundai retailers in Canada.

The Hyundai President’s Award is one of the highest honors bestowed by Hyundai Canada, recognizing dealerships that excel in all areas of the dealership business and community engagement.

Kot is proud of the repeat award because it not only recognizes strong operational performance, but also the dealership’s culture of accountability, professionalism, and continuous improvement.

The results of such an approach is that Kelowna Hyundai routinely exceeds customer expectations and that builds brand loyalty and creates long-term relationships with customers.

Kelowna Hyundai, by no means, takes all this for granted.

While the dealership celebrates this milestone, the dealership remains focused on the future -- continuing to raise the bar for customer care, embracing innovation, and supporting the community it proudly serves.

It also helps that Hyundai has a portfolio of good-looking, quality vehicles people want to drive.

There are the Elantra compact sedan, Elantra Hybrid, compact SUV Tucson and Tucson Plug-in Hybrid, Kona sub-compact SUV and Kona Electric, Santa Fe midsize SUV, full-size, three-row Palisade SUV and electric crossover IONIQ5 and electric sedan IONIQ 6.

Kelowna Hyundai is part of the Kot Auto Group, which has 10 other car dealerships in BC -- Victoria Hyundai, Maple Ridge Hyundai, Genesis Kelowna, Genesis Victoria, Okanagan Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Kelowna, Penticton Nissan, Kelowna Kia, Buy Direct Truck Centre in Kelowna, Woodgrove Chrysler in Nanaimo and Sunrise Ford in 100 Mile House.
