Dealership Earns Its 18th American Honda President's Award and Achieves President's Award Elite

DANVERS, Mass., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Honda North, a flagship member of the ICL family of dealerships, has once again been recognized among the nation's top-performing Honda retailers—earning the American Honda President's Award for 2025, marking the dealership's 18th President's Award in 26 years. This year, Honda North also achieved the distinguished President's Award Elite designation (formerly Masters Circle), placing it among the highest–performing President's Award dealerships in the country.

The President's Award is American Honda's highest dealership honor, celebrating excellence in customer satisfaction, sales performance, training, and facility operations. President's Award Elite represents an even higher tier of achievement, recognizing dealerships that not only meet all award criteria but also rank among the top performers nationwide in new–vehicle sales and operational excellence.

General Manager Bryan Laskin couldn't be prouder of his fellow employee owners stating, "I give complete credit to the individuals that make this amazing company operate in such a reputable fashion.  It is an honor to be a part of this team and have our efforts recognized by Honda on a national level."

Honda North also earned several additional national recognitions this year:

• Honda Financial Services Council of Excellence
  
  
• Customer Service Experience Award
  
  
• Fixed First Visit Award

These prestigious awards honor Honda North for their exceptional service, customer satisfaction and ensuring vehicles are diagnosed and repaired correctly on the first visit.

"The numerous awards speak for the quality of our employees as well as our partnerships within the community.  People have come to expect a respectful and quality relationship for all their automotive needs," says Joseph Hajjar, CEO and former Honda North - General Manager.

Honda North's 18-time recognition places it among an elite group of Honda dealerships nationwide. Only 10% of Honda dealers earned the President's Award this year, and Honda North stands out as the only dealership in its district to receive the honor.

"Year after year, the team continues to put the community and customer's first, though difficult to attain daily, it must be the goal of any great company," says Marshall Jespersen, Dealer Principal. "Our amazing employee owners and valued customers make Honda North an exceptional place to do business."
