The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association revealed its newest NIADA Platinum National Corporate Partner on Thursday with the addition of Dealer Services Corp. of Indiana.

By aligning with DSC, NIADA said the move is meant to further its commitment to the success of independent dealers.

The association highlighted that during the past seven years, DSC has experienced rapid growth to become one of the leading independent floor plan finance companies in the used-vehicle industry.  

An award-winning technology-based company purchased by Manheim at the beginning of this year, DSC offers a number of digital solutions to enhance dealers’ businesses and improve efficiencies.  

DSC president Brian Geitner emphasized pace-setting tech solutions are combined with “best in the industry” service and an innovative employee base to meet dealers’ diverse needs.

“We’re extremely excited about this new partnership with the NIADA,” Geitner said.

“Together we’re taking it to the next level, delivering critical information to auto dealers across North America to help them make better decisions to build their businesses. Dealer success is our common goal,” Geitner continued.

The newly announced partnership is part of a national outreach effort by NIADA to provide decision-making information to dealers while strategically linking dealerships with national industry partners. This alignment allows for the exchange of valuable information between NIADA members and DSC.

NIADA chief executive officer Mike Linn added, “We are extremely pleased to endorse and bring DSC on board as a premier NIADA National Corporate Platinum Partner.

“Our members have utilized DSC’s auto finance floor plan services for many years with tremendous results in enhancing their store profitability and inventory turn,” Linn went on to say. “We look forward to building on this support of our industry through a deeper partnership with DSC.”
