This recognition was further amplified when the company was named the Overall Business of the Year, celebrating its outstanding contributions to the local economy and its reputation as a trusted automotive provider.
Adding to this incredible achievement, Michael Lyng Motors was recognised as the best-performing Hyundai dealership in Ireland for customer experience, earning the Hyundai European Customer Experience Award at the Hyundai PAN European Dealer Conference 2024 in Barcelona. The award was presented to Michael Lyng by Michael Cole (Hyundai CEO) and Jose Munoz (Hyundai President). This accolade highlights the dealership’s leadership in delivering exceptional service within the Irish market and underscores its commitment to maintaining the highest standards in customer satisfaction. This success follows the presentation of the 2023 Ford Presidents Award earlier this year, marking the fifth time in a decade that Michael Lyng Motors has received this prestigious recognition for excellence in sales and service.

Speaking about the awards, Michael Lyng expressed his gratitude: "These awards are a true reflection of the dedication and passion of all our staff, without them Michael Lyng Motors wouldn’t be what it is today.
