NAE/NWAN Recognized as 2019 DCA Winner
National Automotive Experts and NWAN won the Gold award for F&I Product Training in the 15th annual Dealers’ Choice Awards.

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — National Automotive Experts (NAE/NWAN) was recognized by its dealer partners and chosen as a winner in the 2019 Dealers’ Choice Awards, taking the Gold award for F&I Product Training.
Sponsored by Auto Dealer Today, the program was designed to ask dealers and dealership personnel to recognize the industry’s best vendors, suppliers, and finance partners. Now in its 15th year, 71 different companies were recognized as a first-place Diamond, second-place Platinum, and third-place Gold winners in 35 categories.
National Automotive Experts was the Gold recipient in the F&I Product Training category. In addition to writing in their favorite provider in each category, voters were asked to score the provider on quality, value, customer service, and whether they would recommend the company to another dealer.
“As in years past, we see a mix of returning champions, several new players, and companies that won awards in the past but were supplanted this year,” said David Gesualdo, group publisher and editorial director of Bobit Business Media’s Dealer Group.
“NAE is humbled to be one of the returning champions in F&I Product Training,” said David Neuenschwander, president of NAE/NWAN. “We pride ourselves on our ‘People. Products. Performance.’ mentality; it is an honor to be recognized by our dealer partners for our F&I Product Training for the second year in a row.”
The winning companies will be honored in a special ceremony at Industry Summit, scheduled for November 4-6, 2019, in New Orleans.
