Agent Advantage

Why it is important.

The most common providers of F&I products and services are one of three distribution types: Agent, Manufacturer or a Direct Writer. Time has proven the Agent offers the greatest advantages for Dealers. Here’s why:

Personal – We are the founders, face, and reputation of the company.
Top-level representation – Our award winning performers have more experience and a better track record of success.
Consistent service – No employee turn-over or reassignment.
No corporate agenda – Service is personalized to the dealerships needs, not some executive focused on new dealer acquisition.
Hand-selected partners – We have the freedom to select the best providers in each product class.
Vast product portfolio – Continually seeking new and better products helps dealerships increase profits.
Superior reinsurance – We offer the highest rated program available. We have more options, no hidden fees, faster earnings and higher returns.
