NIADA Member Services Creates New Partnership Program
ARLINGTON, Texas — The National Indepedent Dealers Association's member services division has created a new partnership program designed to offer members a wider array of companies whose products and services they can trust, according to an association announcement.
"This new affinity partnership initiative focuses on firms that serve certain segments of the insurance/financial services markets as well as new leading-edge entrepreneurial firms entering our market," NIADA Senior Vice President of member services Scott Lilja said. "We are excited to kick off 2017 with this innovative and powerful new member services initiative."
The NIADA National Partner Program (NAPP) will include partner providers that will provide a broad portfolio of products and services that independent vehicle dealers use on a daily basis. NAPP partners, according to the association, will undergo the same scrutiny and due diligence as the companies in NIADA’s successful national corporate partner and national member benefit programs.
Inaugural NAPP members include AutoPoint, Berkshire Risk Services LLC, DealerRater, Frazer Computing, High Tech Locksmiths, Keystone Automotive Operations, Northland Used Car Leasing and Daily Rentals and Reynolds and Reynolds Document Services.
