SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – General Motors announced today Reliable Chevrolet of Springfield, Mo., is the 2005 GM Certified Used Vehicles Sales Leader Award winner for the South Central region of the United States. The award recognizes the number-one dealership in the South Central region in 2005 sales of GM Certified Used Vehicles.

Reliable Chevrolet, which sold 1,285 GM Certified Used Vehicles in 2005, has ranked among the top-selling GM Certified Used Vehicles dealerships in the U.S. since joining the program in 2001.

With a commitment to customer service, Reliable Chevrolet has one of the largest pre-owned and new vehicle inventories in the region and one of the area’s most comprehensive parts and service departments.

“Much of our success with GM Certified can be attributed to the easy marketability of the program,” said Randall Hargis, General Sales Manager, Reliable Chevrolet. “The program perfectly fits the automotive needs of a variety of different consumer niches. Combining the marketability of the vehicles themselves with GMAC incentive programs and our own dealership’s recognition of being known as a GM Certified Used Vehicles leader allows us to provide an unlimited range of automotive solutions to our customers. The GM Certified program has been a winner for us since we began participation back in 2001 and will continue to be a winner for us each and every year.”
