History

Dealers Alliance Corporation, the parent of Dealers Assurance Company (DAC), was formed in 1977 by Ohio automobile dealers and their business associates.  Since then, Dealers Alliance has been successfully marketing and administering motor vehicle service contracts for dealerships.

DAC was established in March 1980 when Dealers Alliance purchased the Mahoning Insurance Company, incorporated in Ohio in 1935, from Youngstown Sheet and Tube and changed its name to Dealers Assurance Company. DAC has maintained an "A" or “A-“ (excellent) casualty insurance company rating with A. M. Best since 1985 (the first year it was eligible for rating).  DAC products are insured by Dealers Assurance.

In 2004 Dealers Alliance Corporation, along with DAC, was purchased by SouthwestRe Holdings, Inc.

DAC’s management team has a combined 74 years of experience with the company, providing an exceptional level of stability and security.
