TORONTO, Nov. 3 /CNW/ - 401 Dixie Volkswagen, located in Mississauga's 401 Dixie Auto Mall, is the newest addition to the Dilawri Group of Companies, a dynamic family-owned network comprised of 36 automobile dealerships across Canada.

"401 Dixie Volkswagen is a welcome addition to our group," said Omar Khan, Regional Director of Operations for the Dilawri Group. "We are proud and excited to offer consumers with the level of quality products synonymous with the Volkswagen brand, backed by our integrity-based approach to sales, and our firm commitment of providing exceptional service to every customer who comes through our doors." With the guiding principle "Every Customer Counts", the dealership has continued renovation plans to become one of Volkswagen's largest, premier "New Image" locations within the GTA. 

"Sharing a common belief in providing consumers with the highest standards in quality, innovation, and service, the partnership between Volkswagen Canada and the Dilawri Group was a natural strategic alignment," said Kap Dilawri of Dilawri Group of Companies. A sentiment largely shared by John White, President and CEO of Volkswagen Canada. "The North Mississauga market provides the VW brand with a future opportunity for growth and we are extremely pleased that the Dilawri Group has come on board to join the Volkswagen family," said Mr. White, adding "the Dilawri Group has a proven track record and we are very confident that they will grow our business in this market whilst delivering the highest levels of customer satisfaction. We look forward to a long lasting relationship."

Along with its significant offering of both new and certified quality pre-owned Volkswagen vehicles, over 20 service bays, and a spacious 15-car showroom, 401 Dixie Volkswagen is poised for growth, which according to Dilawri, only serves to further the group's commitment to "enhance the communities we serve. In Mississauga we have been and remain actively involved in the support of the health-care sector through charitable work with hospitals."
