Dealers who voted in this category were happier than most, with a group average just shy of 113. CNA National, a Triple Diamond Award winner, took home the Diamond Award for the sixth consecutive year, posting the highest score ever in this category—a 141.5. Also, CNA National was the only returning company in the top three in this category. “It’s an incredible honor to have earned the top spot among service contract providers for the sixth year in row,” said Joe Becker, president and CEO for CNA National … We’ve always put great emphasis on maintaining high service levels for our dealers and their customers, so it’s extremely gratifying to see the votes coming in from dealerships across the country that reflect our efforts.”

With a score of 115, less than a point separated Zurich from the Platinum Award winner. “It has been our goal to be the top service contract provider.
