Automotive News’ ninth annual search for the BEST is underway.

This year marks our 10th annual list of the Best Dealerships To Work For. We congratulate the 100 stores named on the 2021 list — three of them have earned the honor for all 10 years of the program’s existence. Winning dealerships were ranked by Best Companies Group based on employee surveys and information from management.

SAVVY AND RESILIENT: This year’s 40 Under 40 class holds a special distinction: It is our 10th annual list of the brightest stars in automotive retailing, bringing the program’s honoree count up to 400. This year’s standouts have been through back-to-back challenges of a pandemic and now a global inventory shortage. From reviving failing stores to devising programs for remote sales or service, they’re making a difference across their dealership groups.
