Luther Automotive, the Twin Cities-based automotive group serving the Upper Midwest for over 65 years, has been named a winner in Mpls.St. Paul Magazine’s prestigious “Best of the Twin Cities 2026” Readers’ Poll — earning Gold in the Auto Dealership category. The recognition adds to a growing list of community-driven honors for the region’s largest family-owned dealership group.
Mpls.St. Paul Magazine’s Best of the Twin Cities Readers’ Poll is one of Minnesota’s most competitive consumer recognition programs. For 2026, the publication expanded its ballot to 160 categories across dining, retail, entertainment, health, and services with nominations collected through a write-in process beginning in November 2025 and final voting conducted in early 2026. Winners were determined entirely by reader votes, with results published in the magazine’s May 2026 issue.
The Mpls.St. Paul recognition comes alongside Luther Automotive’s longstanding recognition in the Star Tribune’s “Minnesota’s Best” Readers’ Choice Awards program; one of the state’s largest consumer voting competitions, drawing over one million votes annually across 390+ categories. Luther Automotive has taken home multiple Gold awards in the Star Tribune program for five consecutive years, winning in categories including Best New Car Dealership, Best Used Car Dealership, Best Auto Service Center, Best Auto Body Shop, and Best Customer Service. Luther Auto is now actively pursuing a sixth consecutive year of recognition when the 2026 winners are announced in late June.
