CLEARWATER - United Development Systems Inc. has been named the top F&I training provider in the 2011 Dealers’ Choice Awards. It’s the seventh consecutive win for UDS, which has taken the F&I Trainer award since Auto Dealer Monthly began the program in 2005.

“We have always believed that our training initiatives play a critical role in the overall success of our dealer development efforts,” said Randy Crisorio, the company’s president and CEO. “Earning our seventh consecutive Diamond Award confirms that our dedication brings desired results to our dealer partners, and that’s satisfying.”

The Dealers’ Choice Awards are voted on by dealers and dealership personnel and were designed to recognize the vendors, suppliers and other industry professionals that support dealership operations, reported F&I and Showroom.

“Auto Dealer Monthly is honored to be able to recognize some of the best in the industry,” said Harlene Doane, editor of Auto Dealer Monthly. UDS has every reason to be extremely proud of their F&I Performance offering.”
