The MARTA Cooperative of America has designated Warrantech as its “preferred provider” of extended service contracts for the next five years.

The agreement extends a relationship that began in 2002. During that time, Warrantech has signed individual agreements with more than 90 percent of the buying group's white- and brown-goods dealers.

“In retailing, service is how our members build business, and during the past four years Warrantech has provided outstanding service to our members,” said MARTA chairman John Rice of DeSears Appliance & TV.
