“I have been doing business with Assurant Dealer Services, Inc. for over 20 years now, and I cannot imagine running a successful F&I department without them. Other dealers ask me how we run such a profitable F&I department and my answer is always the same. Turn the business office over to Assurant Dealer Services, follow their processes, pay plan suggestions and steps to select the right personnel and then hold them accountable to the performance. I have never been disappointed.”

Blake Fulenwider, President of the Blake Fulenwider Automotive Group
