The extensive Group operations span across new vehicle sales, parts, servicing, used car sales and contract lease and fleet management business. The Group also operates two CVRT test centres and a number of retail businesses.

Over the decades, the Kevin O’Leary Group has deservedly earned its reputation for providing a comprehensive, quality motoring service to individual and corporate customers. Their noted customer focus and attention has ensured strong customer retention and trustworthiness from their clients.

Garreth Wilson, Head of Aftersales at Opel Ireland, said: “Alan Dennis, Aftersales Manager, and his team in Silversprings, have consistently delivered excellent customer service across all crucial Aftersales KPIs. They delivered a strong Opel Parts performance again in 2023, and fully embraced all aspects of our business including Opel Service Club, and our Eurorepar all-brands parts programme.

“The team fully immersed itself in our training schedule and garnered strong customer satisfaction and retention by embracing a can-do attitude for Opel Aftersales. There can be no doubt Kevin O’Leary Silversprings is a worthy winner of the Opel Aftersales Dealer of the Year 2023 accolade and I congratulate the team whole-heartedly.”

Kevin O’Leary, Dealer Principal, said he is ‘absolutely delighted’ to be bringing the Opel Aftersales Dealer of the Year 2023 award home to Cork.

“It is indeed gratifying to know that my team’s continued efforts are recognised by the Distributor, and I personally thank all the customer-facing team and our Opel technicians for their absolute dedication to our company and Opel.”

Mr O’Leary said he could not accept the award without acknowledging all their very valued customers. We thank them sincerely for all their support throughout the years and we very much look forward to seeing everyone in 2024 at Kevin O’Leary Silversprings.”
