HGregoire Secures Fourth Consecutive Canada Order of Excellence Business Award

Solidifying its position as an operational benchmark within the Canadian automotive retail space, HGregoire has been named a recipient of the 2026 Canada Award for Excellence for Private Businesses. 

This marks the fourth consecutive year that the multi-location dealership network has captured the national designation, audited and awarded independently by Excellence Canada.

The certification process measures sustainable performance across core corporate sectors, specifically focusing on data-driven customer experiences, strategic workforce engagement metrics, and continuous workflow improvements. Within the competitive Canadian pre-owned vehicle segment, HGregoire has established strict industry precedents by removing standard price negotiations, anchoring its dynamic inventory valuation entirely on real-time market data layers, and enforcing standardized 219-point mechanical reconditioning checklists.

“In a rapidly evolving automotive market where consumer expectations are higher than ever, maintaining this level of excellence for four consecutive years is an achievement we are extremely proud of,” stated John Hairabedian, President of HGregoire. 

HGregoire’s multi-year streak highlights the clear correlation between institutionalized corporate governance and market resilience. The official 2026 presentation gala is scheduled to take place on September 23, 2026, at the Eglinton Grand in Toronto, bringing together certified business operations from across the provinces.
