OMODA & JAECOO South Africa recognised the leading performers within its national dealer network at its second annual Dealer Conference and Awards, held on 20 August 2026.
OMODA JAECOO Boksburg received the event’s highest accolade, being named Overall Dealer of the Year, while OMODA JAECOO Sandton secured the Sales Volume Dealer of the Year award.
Sandton also received the large-dealer awards for OMODA JAECOO Finance Dealer of the Year and Best Brand & Marketing of the Quarter.
“A strong dealer network is not built on sales alone. The customer experience, aftersales support, finance and the way each dealership represents our brands in its community are all equally important,” said Shannon Gahagan, National Brand and Marketing Manager for OMODA & JAECOO South Africa.
“These awards recognise the teams that have performed across those areas. We congratulate every winner and thank our entire dealer network for the work they continue to put in throughout the year.”
In the sales categories, OMODA JAECOO Hatfield took Gold among the large dealers, followed by Fourways with Silver and Bryanston with Bronze.
Among the medium dealers, OMODA JAECOO Gordon Road received Gold, Roodepoort took Silver and Bedfordview secured Bronze. In the small-dealer category, Vanderbijlpark finished first, followed by Port Shepstone and Springs.
The Aftersales Dealer of the Year awards went to OMODA JAECOO Centurion in the large-dealer category, Bedfordview in the medium category and Newcastle in the small category.
OMODA JAECOO Finance also recognised the strongest-performing dealerships in each category. Sandton, part of the Digi Cars Group, received the large-dealer award, while Umhlanga, part of the NMI Group, was named the medium-dealer winner. Welkom, part of the Motus Group, took the small-dealer title.
The Best Brand & Marketing of the Quarter awards went to Sandton among the large dealers, Bedfordview in the medium category and Lenasia in the small category.

“Customers do not feel extra grateful when you deliver more than you promised. They do, however, feel angry if you break a promise. It’s still better to under-promise and over-deliver so you can make sure you never break this important social contract.” ~ Oscar Auliq-Ice, Happy Customers
