Dodge Power Brokers & Direct Connection Performance Parts Are Now Available!

Dodge has officially opened its “Dodge Power Brokers” dealer network, today. The new Dodge Power Brokers dealer program has launched with nearly 100 dealers located in 34 states across the U.S., with an expanded network to continue to grow over the next few months.

So what is the Dodge Power Brokers dealer network?

It is a network of elite dealers equipped with staff trained to deliver a performance-focused customer service experience. In other words, a certified Dodge Power Brokers dealer provides sales, service, and parts to meet the high standard of comprehensive knowledge and expertise in areas including Dodge vehicle features, high-performance parts, and installation, as well as motorsports programs. Only dealerships with a proven track record of delivering an elevated level of customer service are eligible for Dodge Power Brokers certification.

Sales personnel at Dodge Power Brokers dealerships will have the knowledge to walk customers through Dodge vehicle performance features and available performance upgrades. Customers will also be able to purchase a vehicle with upgrades directly from a Dodge Power Brokers dealership, with the added benefit of maintaining the balance of the factory vehicle warranty when parts are installed by a Dodge Power Brokers dealer.

Dodge Power Brokers dealers will also host performance clinics for enthusiasts and feature a full lineup of Dodge performance models available for customer test drives.
