Three Groupe AutoForce Stores Named Top Canadian Employers

National employer honours awarded to three Groupe AutoForce dealerships demonstrate that investing in workplace culture directly mitigates automotive retail staff turnover.

Three retail locations within Quebec-based Groupe AutoForce—Cadillac Chevrolet Buick GMC de l’Île-Perrot, Chevrolet Buick GMC de Valleyfield, and Honda Île-Perrot—have been named to Automotive News Canada’s 2026 “Best Dealerships to Work For” list. Additionally, Groupe AutoForce was named the sole national recipient of the program’s Philanthropic Award for community involvement and corporate social responsibility.

For Canadian automotive dealer principals, general managers, and HR directors, retaining qualified service technicians and sales advisors remains essential to protecting operational profitability. The national ranking relies heavily on confidential employee surveys assessing workplace culture, daily shop-floor support, and professional development opportunities across all dealership departments.

Operating multiple stores alongside the Centre de Collision Île-Perrot, the dealership group headed by President Frédéric Racine uses internal engagement and charitable initiatives to reinforce workforce stability. In a tight regional labour market, cultivating a supportive dealership culture and strong community presence helps retailers reduce recruitment overhead and maintain high customer service standards in both sales and service bays.
