NAPA, Calif. — Readers of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom recognized AUL Corp. as winner of the Platinum award in the Service Contract category in the 14th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards. The follows four consecutive years in which AUL secured third-place Gold awards.

Headquartered in Napa, Calif., AUL is one of the nation’s leading auto warranty providers and specializes in vehicle service contracts for used cars. Directors say the firm has administered more than 2 million vehicle service contracts across the country.

“While earning industry awards is always gratifying, it is competitions such as the Dealers’ Choice Awards, where winners ultimately are selected by your customers, that we really take to heart,” said Jimmy Atkinson, president and CEO of AUL. “But this award is not just for AUL. We share this award with our amazing network of agents and dealers, without whom this award would not be possible. To them, we say congratulations and thank you for your dedication, hard work, and partnership.”

This year’s competition included 34 categories and gave voters the opportunity to recognize any company based upon on the quality of their product or service, overall customer service, value for money spent, and whether their customers recommend the company to another dealer.

“We work extremely hard to ensure we offer the best products and provide industry leading customer service and support. And to earn a Platinum Award this year confirms that together with our partners, we are on the right track,” Atkinson added.
