Line\5 Wins Prestigious New Industry Award
Dealers ranked Line\5 among the nation’s top three F&I Financing providers in the 2018 Dealers’ Choice Awards.
NAPLES, Fla. — Line\5 won the Platinum award for F&I Financing, a new category in this year’s 14th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards competition. The awards are sponsored by Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom magazines and rank firms based on product quality, value for money spent, and customer service, according to the results of a detailed written survey of dealers and their personnel. Respondents are also asked to indicate if they would be likely to recommend the company to a fellow dealer.
In recognition of its commitment to quality and value, Line\5 will be invited to send representatives to the awards ceremony at October’s Industry Summit at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Fla.
“I’d like to thank all the readers of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom who took the time to record their appreciation of our efforts to serve our growing network of partner dealers,” said Justin Lane, the company’s CEO. “Winning Platinum in the new category of F&I Financing is a just reward for our team’s hard work in providing dealers with the fast, simple and flexible service they need.”
