Kline Volvo is proud to be recognized with the Volvo Excellence Award, one of the highest honors a Volvo retailer can receive. This award highlights dealerships that consistently deliver outstanding service, strong customer satisfaction, and a high standard of professionalism across every department. For drivers in Bloomington, this recognition reflects our commitment to providing a premium experience that matches the quality of the Volvo vehicles we sell and service.

The Volvo Excellence Award is given to a select group of dealerships each year that meet strict performance standards set by Volvo Cars. These standards measure a range of factors, including customer satisfaction, sales performance, service quality, and the overall ownership experience for drivers. Volvo evaluates dealerships across the country and only awards those that demonstrate consistent excellence in customer service.

Earning this award requires teamwork across the entire dealership. From the sales professionals who help drivers find the right vehicle to the service technicians who maintain each Volvo with precision, every team member contributes to the experience customers receive. For drivers visiting from Edina, this means working with a dealership that takes pride in doing things the right way, whether you're shopping for a new Volvo or scheduling routine maintenance.

Recognition through the Volvo Excellence Award also reflects a long-term dedication to the Volvo brand and its values of safety, innovation, and customer care. Drivers traveling from Golden Valley can expect knowledgeable staff, transparent communication, and a dealership environment focused on making ownership simple and enjoyable.

The J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence Program reflects the commitment and dedication of select retailers to provide their customers with a purchase experience that meets today's consumer expectations. 
Not all dealerships can qualify. Those that do must pass a three-step process:
First, J.D. Power uses feedback from more than 25,000 consumers like you to limit the percentage of eligible dealerships by brand. In other words, we consider proportionally more dealerships from top-performing brands for Dealer of Excellence.
Second, interested dealerships must rank among their brand's top performers in key customer satisfaction areas consistent with measurements found in J.D. Power's Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) StudySM.
Finally, qualifying dealers must pass a dealership audit and show they meet or exceed J.D. Power sales best practices. Those best practices include, but are not limited to:
    â€¢ Listing vehicle inventory and pricing on the dealership website
    â€¢ Negotiating in an efficient and transparent manner
    â€¢ Offering a fair trade-in value
    â€¢ Presenting a clear and easy-to-understand F&I product menu
When you choose to visit a J.D. Power Dealer of Excellence you can be confident the sales team will be just as committed to providing an exceptional customer experience as they are to selling a vehicle.

J.D. Power 2025 Dealer of Excellence Program recognition is based on individual dealer sales satisfaction research results and successfully passing a J.D. Power audit of dealership sales practices. For more information visit jdpower.com/DOE.
