Together. Better.
Earlier this year, Autoguard Warranties were delighted to announce that they had been shortlisted for both Warranty Provider of the Year and Paint Protection Provider of the Year at the Car Dealer Power Awards. Once judging had come to a conclusion, Autoguard Warranties received the fantastic new that they would receive the Car Dealer Power Awards 2022 Extra Mile Award for going above and beyond for their customers.
Voting for the Car Dealer Power Awards has been taking place since June by car dealers the length and breadth of the UK. The awards give a voice to motor dealers on who they think are the best suppliers to do business with and which car manufacturers are the best to represent.
For Autoguard Warranties to be nominated by their Dealer Partners and to make the shortlist is an amazing privilege as a huge number of like-minded businesses were also in the running. The dealers participating were quizzed anonymously about what they really thought about their car partners.
At 6:30pm on October 12th, this year’s winners were revealed in a special video on Car Dealer Magazine’s YouTube channel. Autoguard Warranties invited their employees at Autoguard HQ to watch the awards on our projector screen, with the added enticement of pizzas and refreshments.
After an intense wait through the categories, Autoguard Warranties were announced as Highly Commended in both their nominated categories! To be recognised for both their warranty programmes and added-value products is truly an honour.
But the night didn’t end there, when the time came to announce the winners of the highly anticipated Extra Mile Award, our team were thrilled to watch live that Autoguard Warranties would be named the winners!
The extra mile award is designed to recognise firms that exceed expectations of the call of duty when it comes to looking after their customers, and Autoguard Warranties shone bright in the feedback from Car Dealer Magazine’s readers.
Autoguard Warranties is the second supplier in the history of the Car Dealer Power Awards to win the Extra Mile Award, and we don't take this lightly. We won this because our dedicated Area Sales Managers, Admin, Claims, and Renewal teams go above and beyond for our Dealer Partners and their customers. Thank you to all those who voted!
