Volvo Excellence Award

Four-Time Recipient
of the Volvo Excellence Award

Volvo Excellence Award crystal trophies on display at Jaffarian Volvo Cars

Out of nearly 300 Volvo retailers in the United States, fewer than 30 earn this recognition in any given year. Jaffarian Volvo Cars has earned it four times (2016, 2017, 2018, & 2020).

The award reflects a balanced commitment across the whole of a dealership, from sales and service to parts and the training behind all three, measured through the experiences of the people who actually own the cars.

Those are the same things we've been trying to get right in Haverhill since 1958. We go the extra mile because it's the right thing to do. Telling a customer when a repair can wait. Standing behind a number once we've quoted it. Doing right by people when nobody would have known otherwise. It's a lot of small things done well, over a long time. We call it The Jaffarian Wayâ„¢.

Gary Jaffarian, President and CEO of Jaffarian Volvo Toyota

“We are proud of the exceptional level of service our team delivers, which is second to none. Our employees provide operational excellence across every department, every day. I truly appreciate their hard work and care.”
