The dealership is encouraging customers, community members, and supporters throughout the region to participate in the annual voting process hosted by The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

Carvilles Auto Mart Announces 2026 Voting Campaign
Carvilles Auto Mart enters the 2026 Best of the West voting season following several years of recognition in the Independent Auto Dealer category. The dealership previously earned Gold awards in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, along with a Silver recognition in 2023.
The company announced that this year’s campaign will focus on making voting more accessible and encouraging broader participation from customers throughout the Western Slope. The text-to-vote feature will allow supporters to quickly cast votes once official voting instructions become available.
Company representatives stated that community participation remains central to the Best of the West competition because winners are determined directly through public voting rather than internal industry selection panels.
Voting Process Now Officially Underway
According to Carvilles Auto Mart, voting for the 2026 competition officially begins this week, marking the start of a new round of public participation across multiple business categories.
