AUL Wins 6th Consecutive Dealers’ Choice Award
AUL Corp. won its sixth consecutive Dealers’ Choice Award in the Service Contract category, taking Platinum honors for the second straight year.

NAPA, Calif. — AUL Corp. has been named winner of its sixth consecutive Dealers’ Choice Award and seventh overall in the Service Contract category by Auto Dealer Today. Winners of this year’s awards will be honored in a ceremony at Industry Summit in New Orleans Nov. 4–6, 2019.
With AUL’s recent launch of a full suite of new F&I products, the firm will set its sights on many new categories going forward, said Jimmy Atkinson, the company’s president and CEO.
“Since winners are ultimately selected by our customers, Auto Dealer Today’s Dealer’s Choice Awards are truly one of the most meaningful and gratifying,” Atkinson said. “They validate all of the hard work and dedication our teams put in to providing the very best customer experience. And, now that we have expanded our product offerings and become a one-stop F&I shop, we are redoubling our efforts to ensure our customers, agents, and dealers receive the superior support they’ve come to expect of AUL.”
This year’s competition included 35 categories and awarded companies based upon on the quality of their product or service, overall customer service, value for money spent, and whether their customers would recommend the company to another dealer.
“Historically, we have worked tirelessly to ensure we offer the best products and provide industry leading customer service and support. But as we continue to grow, we must never lose sight of how we got here – by putting our people first. Our employees. Our agents. And our dealers. If we can do that, then the rest will take care of itself,” Atkinson added.
