A consistent Dealers’ Choice Awards winner since 2013, this marks the first time iA American has received the top awards for F&I Product Marketing and Data Mining, and for five years strong and counting, the Gold Award for Service Contract Reinsurance. Now in its 17th year, the Dealers’ Choice awards are determined by an annual survey sent to readers of Auto Dealer Today, F&I and Showroom, and Agent Entrepreneur magazines. Voting was open solely to dealers and dealership personnel.

“Our team is honored to be the recipient of the Diamond award for data mining,” said Todd Stewart, Senior VP for Dealer Wizard, iA American’s equity-mining solution. “This award is a direct validation of our Dealer Wizard technology, and an acknowledgement of the extraordinary service we have delivered to our clients over the past decade.
