iA American Warranty Group is celebrating another year of recognition in the Bobit Business Media's Dealers’ Choice Awards, marking 21 nods over the past three years.

In the broader record of success, iA American has earned recognition in several key areas year after year. The company received a Service Contract Reinsurance award for six consecutive years, a Data Mining award for five consecutive years, and Sales Training and Special Finance Training awards for four consecutive years, demonstrating continued strength across multiple areas of the business.

“Earning this recognition year after year is especially meaningful because it reflects the voices of dealers and dealership professionals,” said company President John Laudenslager. “These awards speak to the trust our partners place in our people, our solutions, and the support we provide. We are grateful for their continued confidence and remain committed to earning it through every interaction.”

Now in its 22nd year, the Dealers’ Choice Awards are determined by dealers and dealership personnel. Voters evaluate partner companies based on quality, value, customer service and whether they would recommend the company to another dealer.

iA American is part of iA Financial Group, one of the largest insurance and wealth management groups in Canada with assets of $374 billion in Canadian dollars as of June.
