In a virtual ceremony streamed online Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) has announced the seven dealerships which have won the 2020 distinguished dealer award.
The awards were presented to four metropolitan dealers, two provincial dealers and one rural dealer.
South Australian metro dealer North East Mitsubishi picked up its eighth award which was presented to dealer principal Mark Papillo by MMAL chief executive officer Shaun Westcott.
Another South Australian metro dealership Australian Motors Mitsubishi – Wayville picked up it’s fifth award which was also presented to dealer principal Dylan Nunn by MMAL chief executive officer Shaun Westcott.

Dealer principal Glenn Miller accepted the distinguished dealer award for Western Australia metro dealership Wanneroo Mitsubishi.
Tropical Mitsubishi in North Rockhampton QLD managed by dealer principal Len Harper was one of two provincial dealerships to win the distinguished dealer award, the other being Berwick Mitsubishi in Victoria managed by dealer principal Paul Buruma.
Mareeba Mitsubishi in North Queensland was the sole rural dealer to win the distinguished dealer award which was accepted by dealer principal David Mete.
MMAL says the distinguished dealer is one of its longest-standing recognition programs and is the most prestigious accolade awarded to any Mitsubishi Dealer.
First presented in 1981, the distinguished dealer award acknowledges outstanding performance throughout the previous year across sales, parts sales, service and customer experience says MMAL.
It says the recipients of the distinguished dealer award demonstrate best practice in Mitsubishi dealerships and drive performance improvement across the network.
MMAL chief executive officer Shaun Westcott says dealerships and their teams for their ongoing commitment to providing exceptional service and product expertise to customers.
“The distinguished dealer award recognises the importance of our strong dealer network and the vital role they play in providing an excellent experience to customers across Australia.
In a tough market, where many of our dealers are working hard to balance the needs of Mitsubishi owners and their staff amongst localised restrictions, I welcome the opportunity to celebrate these dealers and their outstanding contributions across all areas of the business,” Westcott says.
