To be eligible for this distinction, a brand must pass a MOTOR TREND evaluation process including site visits, references, a financial review, and an assessment of the brand's delivery of the overall customer experience.

"Our first exposure to EasyCare came soon after we started surveying the market looking for those products and services that would meet our standards. One of the nation's most successful dealer group's recommended them as 'the best in the industry,' which piqued our interest", said Sean Holzman, President of Source Interlink Media's Enterprises division. "And then it seemed that the more we looked into the valuable products and services that EasyCare offers its customers, the more dealers and consumers we found who echoed this same sentiment."
