CHESTERFIELD, Mo. — Protective Asset Protection earned a Platinum award in the Vehicle Service Contract category of Auto Dealer Today’s 2017 Dealers’ Choice Awards.

Voted on by readers of Auto Dealer Today, F&I and Showroom sister publication, the Dealers’ Choice Awards recognize the automotive industry’s leading product and service providers.

“Teams throughout our organization are constantly working hard to identify and meet the changing needs of auto dealers,” said Rick Kurtz, senior vice president of distribution for Protective Asset Protection. “Receiving awards such as this is always a nice recognition of those efforts.”

This is the fourth consecutive year Protective Asset Protection earned Platinum in the vehicle service contract category. The F&I product provider also earned Diamond and Platinum in the category in the 2011 and 2012 competitions, respectively.

“Being recognized by our dealers is a great way to affirm all the work put forth by our employees and agents,” said Scott Karchunas, president of Protective Asset Protection. “A continuous, collaborative effort is required to provide the best solutions. This award is shared by our employees, agents and dealership employees.”
