This year's quality dealer began business 23 years ago. Locally owned and opearated, they have stores in Denver, Ft. Collins, Arizona and Oregon. Last year, Centennial Leasing & Sales sold an impressive 12,000 vehicles.
 
Steve Perkins has been in the car business for over 30 years, his career beginning with Ralph Schomp Imports. Steve is also a Colorado native and his family has been in the state for 5 generations. He has served on the Colorado Motor Vehicle Dealer board since 1999 — a term that is appointed by the governor. Mr. Perkins was president of the board from 2001-2003 and currently serves as the vice president. He has been instrumental in protecting all Colorado dealers in a time when this industry is constantly changing. Most recently, Steve was on Governor Ritter's transition committee for the Department of Revenue.
 
Centennial Leasing & Sales owns the distinction of having been awarded the Quality Dealer of the Year in Arizona four years ago and will represent Colorado in Dallas next June as the only dealer to have been awarded the Quality Dealer of the Year award in two states.
 
Congratulations to Steve Perkins and Centennial Leasing & Sales on their professional organization!
