CNA National Takes Two Top Spots in 2017 Dealers’ Choice Awards
CNAN earned first-place Diamond honors in the Service Contract and Reinsurance categories. The company has been voted a top provider by readers of Auto Dealer Today every year since the awards program was created in 2005.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — CNA National (CNAN) earned first-place Diamond awards for both “Best Service Contract Provider” and “Best Reinsurance Provider” in Auto Dealer Today's 2017 Dealers’ Choice Awards.
Dealers have voted CNAN as a top provider every year since the magazine launched its national survey in 2005. The company has earned a total of 22 Dealers’ Choice Awards, including “Best Service Contract Provider” in 2005–’10 and 2012–’17 and “Best Reinsurance Provider” in 2011–’13 and 2017.
“It’s an incredible honor to earn the top spot among both service contract providers and reinsurance providers in 2017,” says Joe Becker, CNAN’s president and CEO. “We’ve always put great emphasis on maintaining high service levels for our dealers and their customers, so it’s extremely gratifying to see that this year’s votes from dealerships across the country reflect our efforts.”
Alan Miller, senior vice president of sales, added: “Dealers have ranked CNA National as the best service contract provider and the best reinsurance provider for a number of reasons, including our superior claims administration and our financial stability. Our daily operations focus on having a positive impact on dealers and our profit participation programs deliver real results: We've paid more than $424 million to dealers to date.”
