AUSTIN, Texas — RoadVantage has won Diamond in the 2018 Dealers’ Choice Awards in the F&I Products category, marking the second consecutive year the company has been voted the top F&I products provider by dealerships nationwide. This makes the fourth year in a row that RoadVantage has won an award in this category. RoadVantage has also been recognized with a Gold award in the category of F&I Product Training.

“We want to thank dealers nationwide for voting once more for RoadVantage! It is an incredible honor to be recognized by dealers as their No. 1 choice for F&I products for the second year in a row,” said Garret Lacour, CEO of RoadVantage. “We also want to acknowledge our RoadVantage team members, who provide the best customer service possible every day.”

Elected exclusively by automotive dealers and dealership personnel, the Dealers’ Choice Awards recognize the industry’s best providers. RoadVantage also won a Gold Dealers’ Choice Award in 2015, a Platinum Dealers’ Choice Award in 2016, and a Diamond Dealers’ Choice Award in 2017.

Providers were rated in four areas: the product/service provided, customer support and service, overall value, and whether the dealer would recommend the provider. To win an award, a company must be among the topmost scores in each category.

“Everyone on the RoadVantage team helped us earn this award,” said Randy Ross, president of sales for RoadVantage. “We believe our team’s dedication to providing a better customer experience is the reason for our fourth win and our second Diamond award in a row, and this honor signifies to us that our approach is working.”
