Friendly Honda Wins the Prestigious Honda President’s Award

Setting the Standard for Excellence in the Hudson Valley

Friendly Honda in Poughkeepsie is proud to announce that we have earned the Honda President’s Award — the highest honor American Honda Motor Co. can grant to its dealerships. This award recognizes the top-performing Honda dealerships across the country for exceptional customer satisfaction, sales performance, and operational excellence.

Only a small percentage of Honda dealerships nationwide achieve this distinction each year, making it one of the most exclusive and respected awards in the automotive industry.

What Is the Honda President’s Award?

The Honda President’s Award was created to honor dealerships that demonstrate the highest levels of performance in key areas of the business, including:

  • Customer satisfaction
  • New-vehicle sales performance
  • Service and parts excellence
  • Employee training and facility standards
  • Overall dealership operations

Only a limited number of Honda dealerships across the country earn this award each year, which makes it a powerful symbol of consistency, quality, and customer-focused performance.

Why This Award Matters to Our Customers

Winning the Honda President’s Award means Friendly Honda has met and exceeded Honda’s highest benchmarks in every part of the dealership experience.

How Dealerships Earn the President’s Award

To qualify for the Honda President’s Award, a dealership must excel in multiple categories throughout the entire year, not just for a single month or quarter. Honda evaluates:

  • Customer satisfaction scores and feedback
  • New-vehicle sales performance and volume
  • Service department efficiency and quality
  • Employee training completion and certification
  • Facility appearance and operational standards

Only dealerships that consistently exceed expectations across all of these areas are selected for the Honda President’s Award.

A Win for Our Team — and Our Community

This award reflects the dedication of our entire Friendly Honda team — from sales consultants and finance managers to service advisors, technicians, and support staff. It also reflects the trust and loyalty of our customers throughout Poughkeepsie and the greater Hudson Valley.

But this isn't the first time Friendly Honda has won the President's Award. Quite the opposite. The 2025 award marks the 11th time Friendly Honda has received this presitgious honor.

We are honored to serve this community and we are committed to continuing the level of excellence that earned us this recognition.
