“We are thrilled to officially have roots in Florida, an area booming for the auto industry. Many of our dealer groups have interests in and around the Jacksonville area,” said Nick D’Amico, president of Automotive Assurance Group. “This additional location will allow us to better serve their needs and maintain our focus of providing excellent service and customized strategies for our clients.”

Allstate Dealer Services, one of Automotive Assurance Group’s premier providers, is headquartered minutes away in Jacksonville. “We are extremely excited about the opening of the new Automotive Assurance Ponte Vedra location and look forward to working closely with their team to expand the Allstate Dealer Services footprint in the North Florida area,” said Peter Chafetz, vice president of sales for Allstate Dealer Services.

Florida maintains a multi-billion dollar auto retail industry with approximately 853 new car dealerships throughout the state. The new office, located just 20 minutes outside of Jacksonville, Fla., is an up and coming area and central location that will allow for easy reach to an international airport as well as being a close commute to Central and Southern Florida.
