During the 108th National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show in New Orleans this past January, Raymond Farabaugh, President of D-Patrick, Inc. was honored as TIME Dealer of the Year — one of the most prestigious industry awards since its inception 56 years ago. The honor recognizes exceptional business performance as well as a commitment to community service.
D-Patrick, a valued Zurich customer, has dealerships in the Indiana communities of Evansville, Boonville and Lebanon. The auto group sells Ford, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Volkswagen, Nissan and Honda models. Beyond their superior customer service, the group was acknowledged for giving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in contributions and sponsorships for worthy local charitable organizations and cultural institutions.
In accepting the award, Farabaugh said, “This award — it’s not about me. It’s about all the people who have supported me and given me the chance to do the things that I love to do. To all of them, I say thank you.”
Farabaugh was not the only Zurich customer recognized during the event. 49 dealers were nominated from a pool of over 16,000 franchised auto dealers. We extend our congratulations to our customers included in that very select group:
