The finest automotive businesses in Victoria were revealed on June 22.
The 2019 Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce (VACC) saw 36 businesses and business people announced as winners in the VACC industry awards, the highest prize dedicated to the Victorian automotive industry.
“It is a huge accolade to be named the best in Victoria and these businesses have all proved themselves worthy of that title,” VACC chief executive officer Geoff Gwilym says.
Award categories include mechanical repair, auto electrical, recycling, body repair, engine reconditioning, farm machinery, heavy vehicle repair, new and used car, motorcycle and commercial vehicle dealers, service station and convenience stores, aftermarket and retail, towing and tyre dealers.
Best business woman in automotive and young entrepreneur of the year were two new categories added this year.
“The VACC industry awards have been very well supported this year, proving that they are valued by industry and recognised by consumers,” Gwilym says.
“VACC congratulates all of the winners in the 2019 VACC industry awards and recommends them to Victorian motorists. Remember to look for the famous orange VACC sign: the mark of the industry professional.”
Eight judges assessed entries based on business management, workplace practices, customer service and marketing and communication.
