Claim Your Share of a $5.54 Billion Credit Card Settlement
If your business accepted Mastercard or Visa payments from 2004 to 2019, you may qualify for a settlement payout.
SCTDRA has partnered with Kent Recovery Services to simplify the no-risk claims process. At the December meeting,
Patrick D. Jermyn outlined how to get started.
-
Save Money While Supporting Your Team with Better Health Benefits​
Tire dealers learned how David Jones helped Dixie Tire save over $25,000 on employee health insurance while retaining
top talent.
They discovered how David can help them save money and invest in their employees' future in today’s competitive labor
market.
-

Member Testimonial
I just wanted to follow up with you and thank you for reaching out to Federated on our behalf. As it turned out, our shop insurance company made a corporate decision to discontinue coverage for our type of business. Jeff Hawkins, who had been our Federated Insurance agent, contacted me and over the month of October we made the transition to Federated. Federated, as always, was a pleasure to work with and expedited the process so that we are able to be covered by Nov 1.
​
I wanted to share this in case other dealers are experiencing the same issue with their insurance companies.
​
Thanks again for your help!
