LAKE FOREST, Calif. — For the third straight year and 10th time overall, Portfolio won the first-place Diamond award for Reinsurance & Participation in the annual Dealers’ Choice Awards. Portfolio also earned its third consecutive second-place Platinum award for Appearance Protection.

DCA winners are determined by auto dealers responding to an audited survey from Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom. Portfolio has yet to be ranked lower than second place since the reinsurance category was added in 2008. Dealers have ranked Portfolio No. 2 for Appearance Protection in all three DCA programs since that category was added in 2021.

“We choose our partners carefully and we know dealers do the same. Our continued success in the Dealers’ Choice Awards is a true honor and one that means a lot to every current and prospective member of the Portfolio family — dealers, agents and associates,” said David Neuenschwander, the company’s chief sales officer. “They inspire us to recommit to earning your business every day.”

The DCA survey was launched June 1 and was live for 30 days. Respondents were asked to name their favorite service providers, vendors and finance sources in at least five of 31 categories and score them on quality of product or service, customer service, value and whether they would recommend them to another dealer.

“To all the dealers who took the time to vote for Portfolio, we thank you, as well as the agents and industry partners who so ably represent us,” said President and CEO Brent Griggs. “The Dealers’ Choice Awards are proof that working together to support our great dealer clients is the key to success.”
