The Time Magazine Quality Dealer Award (TMQDA) is an annual Time Magazine-sponsored award, in partnership with Ally Financial, honoring new-car dealers in America who exhibit exceptional performance in their dealerships and perform distinguished community service. It is the automobile industry's most prestigious and coveted award for car dealerships. Dealers are nominated by members of the Automotive Trade Association Executives (ATAE).[1] Finalists and winners are chosen by a panel of faculty members from the University of Michigan's Tauber Institute for Global Operations. The "TIME Magazine Dealer of the Year" award is presented at the annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) convention.
