The Awards Keep Coming for All American Ford in Old Bridge

How does All American Ford in Old Bridge receive so many awards?

All American Ford in Old Bridge is proudly owned and operated by the Savino & Selman families but it’s not your typical dealership. While most Dealer Principals are in Florida for half the year or just manage for a 10,000 foot view, it’s easy to see that All American Ford is run differently. Rich Savino, Dealer Principal of All American Ford in Old Bridge, runs the store with his three sons in the highest positions. His eldest son, Chris Savino, is the General Manager. His middle son, Nick Savino, is in charge of Service & Parts as the Fixed Operations Director. And his youngest son, Jason Savino, heads up Marketing & Advertising for the group as the Marketing Director. The Savinos & Selmans are actively involved in the day to day operations at All American Ford. You can read more about the Savino family members on their Meet the Staff page. Rich Savino has won the Ford Credit Partners in Quality award for the 5th time.

The family atmosphere and proactive hands-on approach is what makes All American Ford in Old Bridge the #1 Ford dealership in New Jersey. This does not only include sales, selection, and experience, they have also received the most prestigious and sought after awards from Ford Motor Company. Many dealerships don’t consistently win these awards due to turnover rates being so high. At All American Ford, all of the senior management is like family. They have one of the most stable and long-tenured management staffs in the industry. You know you’ll be getting a consistently excellent experience year after year. This is one of the best things about All American Ford in the eyes of their customers. When someone leases a vehicle for 2-3 years, they know that they will see the same faces in Service/Parts throughout the life of the lease and they will come back to re-lease with the same Sales team.

On December 11th, 2019, Ford & Ford Credit representatives presented awards to All American Ford in Old Bridge.

All American Ford in Old Bridge receives these awards on a consistent basis (there is more information on these awards below). On December 11th, 2019, the award presentation from Ford had much more importance than usual. It was the first time in Rich Savino’s career that he was awarded the most prestigious award from Ford Credit. All American Ford in Old Bridge earned the Ford Credit Partners in Quality award and achieved Masters distinction. Rich and Chris Savino also received the coveted Bobby Jones Masters jacket. The jacket signifies that you are a member of an elite group of Ford dealerships who have earned the Partners in Quality award for a fifth time.

The Elusive Green Jacket

Rich Savino previously owned Able Ford of Rockville Centre in Long Island, NY. He had earned the Ford Credit Partners in Quality award three times in the early 2000’s. He was well on his way to achieving the Masters distinction as well as the green jacket. However, in 2008, Rich sold that location in New York and moved to Old Bridge, New Jersey; taking over ownership of Oasis Ford of Old Bridge, NJ. Between 2008-2009, the location was called Able Ford of Old Bridge and then in late 2009, Rich teamed up with  Jon & Steve Selman  to form the All American Auto Group. There are now locations in Old Bridge, Point Pleasant, Hackensack and Paramus. Due to the name change to All American, Rich’s previous Partners in Quality awards were not acknowledged. For 2018, Rich finally won the Masters distinction from Ford Credit, officially under the All American Auto Group.

The Rarity of the Green Jacket & the Ford Credit Partners in Quality Award

The Ford Credit Partners in Quality award started in 1993. Only roughly 1% of the 3,000 Ford dealerships in the U.S. win the award each year. As previously stated, a single dealership needs to win the award five times to achieve Masters distinction. With the Masters distinction, the owner and GM are receive the Bobby Jones Masters jacket. Just 177 out of the 3,000+ Ford Dealerships in the United Stated have won this jacket. In the 26 year history of the award, that accounts for less than 6% of dealerships in all that time. This award is classified as of the most prestigious and difficult to achieve within Ford Motor Company and Ford Credit.
