CarGurus has announced the winners of its 2026 Top Dealer Awards.
Now in its 12th year, the programme recognises dealerships across the UK that consistently earn shoppers’ trust through exceptional service, competitive value, and transparent experiences.
Fewer than 10% of dealerships on the CarGurus platform earned a Top Dealer Award this year, giving shoppers a reliable shortlist of the top dealers in their area.
Top Dealer Award winners are selected through verified customer reviews and CarGurus marketplace data.
“CarGurus is guided by a mission of making car shopping more transparent and trustworthy, and our Top Dealer Award winners help bring that to life,” said Sam Zales, president and chief operating officer at CarGurus. “These awards recognise those who consistently stand out, while giving shoppers another trusted signal as they decide where to buy their next car.”
There are two separate categories, Top Rated Dealers, Top Value Dealers.
Top Rated Dealer honours dealerships with exceptional customer satisfaction.
Winners maintained an average rating of at least 4.5 out of 5 based on verified customer reviews submitted in 2025 with a minimum threshold of four reviews.
Top Value Dealer recognises dealerships offering consistently competitive pricing. The award honours the top 100 dealers with the highest share of 2025 inventory with a “Good” or “Great” Deal Rating from CarGurus.
Award-winning dealerships are identified with Top Dealer badging on the CarGurus site and in-store signage, helping shoppers easily recognise 2026 winners while shopping online or in-person.
