TESTIMONIALS
:
Our members
find the services of the MADSIF program to be helpful, economical
and most importantly, cost effective. Here's what just
a few of our members are saying.

ROD
ALBERTS
Executive
Vice President
Detroit Automobile Dealers Association |
"MADSIF
has been one of the best and most successful ventures
for dealers in insurance. Through its long-term growth
and success, MADSIF has saved dealers a great deal on
insurance premiums and the cost of claims. One of the
things that really helps make MADSIF work for the dealers
is that it is totally owned and controlled by dealers.
We
at DADA have enjoyed working with MADSIF to put programs
together that really help the dealers in their day-to-day
operations -- programs such as the MSDS library and
the new bottle labeling system. Our members really appreciate
all that MADSIF has to offer." |

some may offer a short term gain during the intial year, nothing
compares with ours over a 5 year period." |
