“Ever since the business started back in the 1950s, we have always striven to maintain the highest standard of service and this award reflects that,” Rod said.

“While this is a great achievement, none of it would have been possible without the ongoing support of our wonderful staff and the community. It’s been so rewarding growing the business into what it is today.”

The judging criteria for the award included Sales Performance, Store Presentation and Customer Service among others. Rod was presented the award at the conference’s Gala Dinner. Other State and National winners and inductees into the Goodyear Hall of Fame were also announced during the event.

“We are so fortunate to have such a large and unified group of franchisees who are passionate about their work and are committed to the Goodyear Autocare brand,” said David Stafford, Franchising & Licensing Director for Goodyear & Dunlop Tyres.

“These awards are our opportunity to recognise this commitment and excellence across the Goodyear Autocare store network. Goodyear Autocare Shepparton epitomises our desire to be the local community’s Tyre & Auto Experts. I extend my congratulations to the team, thank them for their loyalty over the years and for setting the benchmark for our network,” David Stafford said.
