Meet the 2026 AutoTrader

DEALER AWARDNOMINEES

The numbers are in, the data doesn't lie, and this year's AutoTrader Dealer Awards nominees have officially been named.

And this year we have awards not only for cars, but for everyone: Commercial, Bike, and Leisure.

These are the dealerships that went above and beyond in 2026: raising the bar on service, smashing sales targets, and giving customers experiences worth talking about. It's time to give them the spotlight they've earned.
