SINCE ITS ACQUISITION BY HGREGOIRE, CANDIAC TOYOTA HAS INCREASED ITS RETAIL SALES BY 43%

SAINT-EUSTACHE, January 31, 2020 — Hardly more than a year after HGregoire acquired Candiac Toyota, that retail sales at its very first new Toyota vehicle dealership have grown by 43%, posting the strongest growth in 2019 among all Toyota dealerships in Quebec.

This is a wonderful achievement for HGregoire, which is leveraging the strategic location of this South Shore gem to carry out a large-scale project representing a $43 million investment over two years. The group plans to build two new buildings on the site: a brand-new outlet for HGregoire pre owned vehicles and a second spacious state-of-the-art building that will replace the current Candiac Toyota premises. Upon completion of the two new buildings in 2021, South Shore residents will find the full range of new Toyota models and an unparalleled selection of pre-owned vehicles right next door, all in one convenient location.

As it stands, the impressive sales performance of Candiac Toyota is clearly due to the numerous innovations implemented by HGregoire. These include custom financing solutions, the “We’ll buy your vehicle” program, which allows customers to sell their vehicle with no obligation to buy and receive their cheque the same day, as well as the new “Road Test at Home” option, which brings the test vehicles to customers’ homes, saving them a trip to the dealership.

President of HGrégoire, John Hairabedian, said, “we are thrilled to see that our efforts in redefining customer experience are paying off. We are striving to deliver a five-star experience across our range of services whether online or in person as well as before, during, and after the sale. The results reflect our approach.”

General Manager of Candiac Toyota, Sébastien Boisvert, said, “I’m really proud of our team, who is more driven than ever. Since our merger with the HGrégoire Group, we have more tools at our disposal to respond effectively and innovatively to the needs of our customers. This makes both my sales associates and our customers happy.”

The Candiac Toyota team is proud to post the strongest growth in 2019 among all Toyota dealerships in Quebec.
