Webb Auto Group Sweeps Northwest Indiana Best of the Region 2026 — Three Indiana Rooftops Honored

This is a big year for Webb Auto Group. All three of our Indiana-based dealerships have been voted Northwest Indiana Best of the Region 2026 by The Times of Northwest Indiana readers. Webb Hyundai Highland earned the recognition for the third time. Webb Hyundai Merrillville earned it for the third time as well. And Genesis of Schererville earned it for the second consecutive year. Three rooftops, three wins, all driven by community votes — by the real Northwest Indiana drivers, families, and Genesis owners who do business with us every day. This page is our chance to thank every voter and to share what these wins mean to the Webb Auto Group family.

What is the Northwest Indiana Best of the Region award?

The Northwest Indiana Best of the Region award, presented by The Times of Northwest Indiana, is one of the most respected community-voted recognition programs in the region. Each year, readers nominate and then vote for their favorite local businesses across hundreds of categories — restaurants, healthcare providers, home services, and car dealerships included. Winning means real Northwest Indiana customers chose us. No industry panel, no corporate sponsor — actual drivers from the towns we serve.

Which three Webb Auto Group rooftops won?

All three Webb Auto Group dealerships located in Indiana received the recognition: Webb Hyundai Highland, Webb Hyundai Merrillville, and Genesis of Schererville. Different brands, different cities, all part of the same family-owned dealer group — and all voted into the Best of the Region winners’ circle by Northwest Indiana readers.

Webb Hyundai Highland — Third Time Winner

Webb Hyundai Highland is the Hyundai rooftop in Highland, IN, serving Munster, Hammond, Schererville, Griffith, Dyer, and the broader Northwest Indiana market. With the 2026 recognition, the Highland store has now been voted Northwest Indiana Best of the Region three times — a streak built on tenured staff, Hyundai-trained service technicians, transparent pricing, and the kind of follow-through that earns repeat customer votes year after year.

Webb Hyundai Merrillville — Third Win

Webb Hyundai Merrillville is the Hyundai rooftop in Merrillville, IN, serving Crown Point, Hobart, Valparaiso, and the wider Northwest Indiana region. The 2026 win is also the Merrillville store’s third Best of the Region recognition — consistent year-over-year community trust, earned the same way Highland earned theirs: by treating every customer like the next vote.

Genesis of Schererville — Second Consecutive Year

Genesis of Schererville is our authorized Genesis retailer in Schererville, IN, serving Northwest Indiana and the southern Chicagoland luxury market. With the 2026 win, Genesis of Schererville has now been voted Best of the Region two consecutive years — a strong showing for a brand that’s deliberately smaller-footprint, and proof that concierge-level luxury service translates into community-voted recognition.

What’s the Webb Auto Group standard behind the wins?

A few core principles apply at every Webb Auto Group rooftop, and they’re what shows up in three community-voted recognitions: low-pressure sales conversations, transparent pricing, tenured staff who actually know the products, manufacturer-certified service technicians, genuine parts, and a service department that explains every recommendation in plain language. Family-owned ownership keeps decisions local. Continuity keeps customers coming back.

What about our Chevrolet rooftops?

Webb Chevy Oak Lawn and Webb Chevy Plainfield are our two Chevrolet rooftops in Illinois — they’re outside the Northwest Indiana voting market, so they weren’t eligible for this particular award. But both stores share ownership, training, and customer-service standards with the Indiana winners. Webb Chevy Oak Lawn has been family-owned at 95th & Cicero since 2000, and Webb Chevy Plainfield serves the southwest suburbs — Plainfield, Joliet, Naperville, Romeoville, Bolingbrook, and Aurora.

How does Webb Auto Group invest in Northwest Indiana?

Each Webb Auto Group rooftop supports the community where it operates. In Northwest Indiana, that means local schools, youth sports leagues, charitable organizations, and community events across Highland, Merrillville, Schererville, and surrounding towns. Family-owned dealerships make community investment decisions locally — not from a remote corporate office. The three Best of the Region wins reflect that local commitment as much as any sales or service metric.

What’s next for Webb Auto Group?

Same standard, same family, same focus on the customers who voted us in. Webb Hyundai Highland and Webb Hyundai Merrillville will keep carrying the full current Hyundai lineup including hybrid and IONIQ electric models. Genesis of Schererville will keep delivering the concierge-level luxury experience that earned back-to-back wins. Webb Chevy Oak Lawn and Webb Chevy Plainfield will keep doing what they do for Chicagoland Chevrolet customers. To Northwest Indiana: thank you for voting our Indiana dealerships into the Best of the Region winners’ circle for 2026. We’ll see you on the sales floor, in the service drive, or wherever Service Valet meets you next.
