F&I Express won its second consecutive Diamond award in the F&I Technology category in the 2017 Dealers’ Choice Awards.
GRAPEVINE, Texas — F&I Express won a prestigious Dealer’s Choice Award from the publishers of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom magazines, the company announced. This is the second year in a row F&I Express has won the first-place Diamond award in the F&I Technology category. The Dealer’s Choice Awards are based on results from a comprehensive online survey open exclusively to auto dealers and dealership professionals.
Offering digital integration with the largest aftermarket provider network, F&I Express helps dealers drive F&I sells, streamline the contracting process and improve CSI scores. The F&I Express econtracting platform seamlessly integrates with leading menu providers and dealer management systems (DMS) for compliant, error-free econtracting, according to CEO Brian Reed. He said he expects the F&I industry and its ecosystem partners to continue to embrace technology to streamline F&I processes in additional areas of business, including the F&I product cancelation process.
“We are honored and elated to win this award for the second straight year,” Reed said. “This award validates our ability to ensure the F&I process is simple, fast and profitable for dealerships across the nation. We would like to thank everyone who took the time to complete the voting process. Thanks for your vote, and most importantly, thanks for your business!”
