The Benefits of Membership in the Automotive Retailers Association
The ARA Group Benefits Plan is specifically designed for the automotive industry.
Once you are an ARA member you also become eligible for our comprehensive Group Benefits Plan. In addition to providing excellent health, dental, disability and life coverage, the ARA Group Benefits Plan is a great employee retention tool. Members choose from a wide range of competitively priced options to create a tailor-made plan that works for you, your employees and your business.
Unlock the Potential! Skilled employees are hard to find these days, so it's important to keep the ones you already have! Build loyalty by showing your employees you care about their well being, and that of their families. The ARA Employee Benefits Program is offered at levels and rates usually available only to large corporations. Now you have the same advantage!
Key Points - Why the ARA Plan is Better: Because we administer the plan ourselves our costs are lower, and consequently we can offer comprehensive, tailor-made plans at rates that get you the best coverage for the best price. Our In-House Professionals handle all the day to day administration, monthly billings, claims, etc. Their full attention is focused on managing your plan. This means you can focus on managing your business!
Furthermore, we can offer greater premium stability because rate reviews are based on the overall group's claims experience rather than just that of your individual business. So if you happen to have a "bad year" it does not necessarily cause your premiums to spike.
We have had 2 employees and the shop owner on short term disability. It was heaven-sent to have them on this program. Having this plan has lead to premium discounts for EI also.
