Everett Buick GMC
Award-winning dealership stands apart from competitors
Buying a vehicle is an important decision for families, but customers at Everett Buick GMC in Bryant can feel confident that they will be met with friendly service and a great selection. That’s because in 2016, Everett was named the No. 1 Buick GMC dealer in the nation for an unprecedented seventh year in a row.
The dealership was also named the No. 1 General Motors dealer in the country, the first time in General Motors’ history that a Buick GMC dealer has outsold all other GM dealers in the nation, including Chevrolet.
Co-owner Susie Everett said she invites those looking for a new vehicle to come discover the “Everett difference” that has allowed the business to outsell every other GM dealership in the country.
“Our staff members are the reason we excel,” Everett said. “Every position in our dealership is important, from the reception- ist greeting you to the car wash you receive in the back. If not for their caring about the customer, working with integrity and giving good customer service, we would not have the good reputation we have.”
The company’s mission is to provide pro- fessional, family-like customer service, she said, with staff members who strive to make sure every customer is completely satisfied with every visit.
“Family ownership helps ensure out- standing customer service,” Everett said.
“We have family members at the dealer- ship every day who care about the way busi- ness is conducted. That influences other staff members to care more and put in extra effort, too.”
In addition, the dealership boasts the largest Buick GMC inventory in Arkansas, so customers will have no trouble finding the vehicle that interests them, whether they shop online or on the lot.
GOOD TO KNOW: Everett’s state-of- the-art facility offers the latest technology and a comfortable, luxurious environment for customers. Visitors enjoy a spacious customer lounge with free Wi-Fi and refr- eshments while they have their vehicles serviced by the dealership’s GM-Certified service department.
Proudly displayed are the many photos, plaques and awards featuring community organizations the dealership supports, inc- luding the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Christian Community Care Clinic, the Saline Memorial Hospital Foundation, the Arkansas Foodbank, the Second Chance Ranch and many others.
Local ownership allows the company to remain accountable to the community, Everett said. “We care about where we live and where our children and grandchildren are raised,” she added. “We feel connected to the community and want to give back.”
