Awards

The VanDevere name is no stranger to awards. In fact, our dealership group has earned many awards since opening for business in 1946. Our history of receiving accolades stems from our ongoing commitment to our customers here in Akron, Ohio. Here’s a look at some of the most recent honors we’ve won.

President’s Club Award

This North American award comes straight from Kia itself. Out of the nearly 800 dealers in the region, it was only bestowed upon 30 of them in 2017, and VanDevere Kia is proud to have been chosen from among our esteemed peers that year. It was proof of our outstanding customer service and sales performance.

Platinum Prestige Award

Platinum Prestige status is only awarded to Kia dealerships that perform in the top 3rd percentile. And that’s not just in Ohio or even America, but globally. Much like the President’s Award, this award we received for 2017 recognized us not just for our sales, but for our customer service, too. We are proud to display this 2017 award in our lobby.

Kia Dealer Excellence Program Plus Award (KDEP+)

Kia Motors America awarded VanDevere Kia with the 2020 Kia Dealer Excellence Program Plus award (KDEP+) for exceptional performance in the areas of operational competency, branding compliance, and sales. As the highest honor from Kia, the KDEP+ award is given only to the highest-performing Kia dealerships for consistently outperforming their goals. Only dealers who receive excellent ratings from sales and service customers, maintain high sales volumes, and comply with the brand guidelines are considered for this prestigious award.
