Timothy Crenwelge, general manager of Crenwelge Motors in Kerrville, Texas, is one of four regional finalists for the 2021 TIME Dealer of the Year award.

Crenwelge Motors of Kerrville Inc. is a Chrysler, Dodge, GMC, Jeep and Ram dealership, according to the Texas Automobile Dealers Association.

Crenwelge was among the 40 nominees from more than 16,000 dealers nationwide honored at the 104th annual National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show. He was nominated for the 2021 TIME Dealer of the Year award by Texas Automobile Dealers Association President Darren Whitehurst.

“I literally grew up in the car business and never once considered doing anything else,” Crenwelge said. “I am a third-generation dealer, and my dad taught me that commitment to family and community is the most important thing. This is the business model I follow and what has gotten me to where I am today.”

TIME Dealer has been recognizing successful auto dealers with a long-standing commitment to serving their communities for 52 years.
