Tommy Baker, Owner and President of Baker Motor Company, with award-winning dealerships in Charleston, SC and Wilmington, NC, is pleased to celebrate 30 years as a Mercedes-Benz dealer. To recognize the company for their accomplishments and history with the brand, executives from Mercedes-Benz USA, including CEO and President Dietmar Exler, visited the Charleston dealership to present the team with a 30th anniversary award.
“The Mercedes-Benz brand means a lot to us, partly because it’s representative of our first franchise dealership. We opened the doors in 1988 with big plans for Baker Motor Company, and we haven’t looked back,” said Mr. Baker.
As Mercedes-Benz dealers and executives from across the country traveled to South Carolina for the official unveiling of North Charleston’s Mercedes-Benz Vans campus, it also served as a fitting opportunity for the manufacturer to honor the 30-year dealer.
“Throughout Baker Motor Company’s thirty years, they’ve built a reputation of providing customers with the ultimate owning experience, going well beyond just the point of sale,” said Dietmar Exler, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA. “It’s also evident that the staff truly understand our brand and our customers and I’m grateful that I’m able to congratulate Mr. Baker and the entire Baker Motor Company team, in person, for all of the dealership’s accomplishments.”
“It’s been an honor to represent such a timeless and dignified brand, and we’re excited for what’s to come. Big plans are underway, so stay tuned,” continued Mr. Baker.
Baker Motor Company has been awarded with the prestigious “Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best” distinction eight times (2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014), an award that recognizes top-performing Mercedes-Benz dealerships who demonstrate superior performance in customer satisfaction, new vehicle sales, certified pre-owned sales, leadership and management, parts operations and market penetration. Baker Motor Company’s Mercedes-Benz of Mount Pleasant also earned the prestigious title in 2016, the dealership’s first eligible year.
