One of the 2011 winners is Little Valley Restoration and Collision of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada -- a five time Premier Achiever winner. Owners John & Jacky Neil have been in business 32 years and run the shop with two of their children. John Neil says their success is based on their focus on the customer and delivering high quality: "Winning the Premier Achiever Award is a great achievement and reinforces the qualities and values that I've always instilled in both my children and my employees: treat others the way you'd like to be treated. If you do that, it makes everything so simple. My employees are simply in the habit of doing things the right way -- it's our standard operating procedure. Loyal customers are the result. We're really proud to have won the Premier Achiever Award for the 5th year as it validates our dedication to always putting the customer first."
Since the award program was launched in 2002, AutocheX has presented over 3,000 Premier Achiever Awards to industry-leading collision repair facilities. The award is based on customer satisfaction scores as measured by AutocheX, either independently or as part of an insurance-sponsored repair program. This year, participating insurance programs included seven of the top 25 carriers in North America.
"Mitchell congratulates all the 2011 Premier Achiever Award winners for achieving an impressive level of customer service and satisfaction. We look forward to continuing to work with them -- and all our auto body shop clients -- to improve and simplify all aspects of their business performance," said Jim O'Leary, Vice President of Mitchell Repair Solutions.
