Peterbilt Motors Company has named The Peterbilt Store and Coastal Counties Peterbilt of California as its North American and Medium Duty Dealers of the Year. The awards were announced during Peterbilt’s annual dealer meeting, held earlier this month.

The Pete Store earned the North American Dealer of the Year award for its outstanding fleet sales and support, excellent Paccar MX engine sales and territory acquisition that increased their area of responsibility to a total of 15 locations in seven states, Peterbilt says.

“The Peterbilt Store has been an outstanding Paccar partner since they joined the Peterbilt family, and it’s an absolute pleasure to present them with Peterbilt’s highest honor, one that is truly earned and deserved,” says Kyle Quinn, Peterbilt general manager and Paccar senior vice president. “The Peterbilt Store is committed to achieving day-to-day excellence, and the results have been realized in sales growth and customer satisfaction.”

John Arscott, president and CEO of The Pete Store, accepted the award accompanied by his two sons, Jeff and Greg Arscott.

“We are honored to be recognized for our investments and efforts focused on enhancing our customers’ experience,” says John Arscott. “Our exceptional team is skilled, hardworking, and committed to ensuring that our customers receive outstanding service and value at The Peterbilt Store.”

Coastal Counties Peterbilt earned Peterbilt’s Medium Duty award thanks to the dealership achieving 125 percent of its sales goals with more than 300 medium-duty units sold in 2016, resulting in 18 percent market share.
