Miller Volkswagen Avondale has been awarded the most prestigious award that VW can bestow on a dealership—the Diamond Pin. This award is given only to select dealers in the United States, with only 20 distributed worldwide. These dealers are hand-selected by the VW Board in Wolfsburg, Germany. To be eligible for the Diamond Pin, dealers must be nominated by Volkswagen area and regional managers, be thoroughly vetted by the National Volkswagen of America leadership, be a previous recipient of the prestigious Golden Pin Award, and maintain the level of excellence befitting the Golden Pin for a minimum of three consecutive years. “We are very proud to have met the highest German standards for excellence, and this award is a testament to the employees that make Larry H. Miller Volkswagen in Avondale an amazing place,” said GM David Hinchey. The Golden Pin and the Diamond Pin Awards are based upon numerous qualifications such as sales excellence, service and parts department excellence, random facility inspections, and random administrative audits to ensure consistently high levels of compliance with VW standards in all areas. Random financial audits also occur to ensure the dealership is a stable and viable representative partner of Volkswagen AG and VW of America.
