Miles Škoda Takes Home Top Dealer Titles

byJayde Newbury/May 15, 2026/inAwards

The Škoda Excellence Awards, hosted annually by Škoda New Zealand, recognise dealerships that deliver high standards across the entire customer journey, spanning Sales, Service, Marketing, Parts, Business, and Customer Experience.

Members of the Miles Škoda team recently attended the awards, joining the wider dealer network to celebrate the achievements of the past year. It was an opportunity to reflect on 2025 alongside fellow Škoda dealers, recognise strong nationwide performance, and share in a moment of real pride for Miles Škoda. We’d like to congratulate all dealerships, departments, and individuals recognised at the awards.

We’re proud to share that the 2025 awards marked an outstanding year for our team. Miles Škoda was named Dealer of the Year for a third consecutive year, alongside wins for Sales Team of the Year and Business Department of the Year, and second-place finishes for Marketing Team of the Year and Customer Experience of the Year.

“Achieving this award for the third time shows the amazing team we have here at Miles Škoda. To win it once is a massive win in itself, but to take it out a second year and then onto a third year is nothing short of outstanding.

I am really fortunate to receive the Dealer of the Year award on behalf of the team here for the third time. But our people are the ones who earned it – our marketing team, technicians, groomers, and frontline staff who represent the brand with passion and pride while caring for our customers. We are lucky to have such an amazing bunch of people.”

Dealer of the Year – Winner

Being named the 2025 Škoda Dealer of the Year is something we’re incredibly proud of. It reflects the professionalism, dedication, and consistency our team brings in representing the Škoda brand to the highest standard. Achievements like this are a true collective effort, shaped by the passion that drives us every day.

Receiving this award once is an honour. To receive it three years in a row is a significant milestone for our team, and a first for a Škoda dealership in New Zealand.

We’d like to thank our team, Škoda New Zealand for their continued support, and our valued customers, who remain at the heart of the Miles Škoda family.
