THE DRIVE PARADIGM SHIFT
Recognizing you do NOT want out-of-warranty, late-model, commercial, fleet, or high-mileage vehicles in your reassurance portfolio:
- The out-of-warranty, late-model, commercial, fleet, and high-mileage segments represented a $97B aftermarket warranty industry in 2024.
Recognizing the dealership sales mindset of selling warranties only in F&I severely limits opportunity and PROFITS:
- Service departments manage 8–15× more customer interactions per day than F&I.
Recognizing the sales model of moving the service customer and advisor from Service to F&I does not work:
- F&I availability is limited and schedule-constrained.
- Advisors leaving their station results in lost billable service hours.

THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY
- Dealers created a competitive secondary market by not consistently and effectively offering (VSCs) in the service drive
- Franchise dealers inadvertently opened the door for a thriving aftermarket warranty and maintenance industry
- This gap has enabled third-party providers to capture a significant share of the warranty business—directly impacting dealer profitability, customer retention, and long-term service revenue
- Now, reclaiming that business is not just a growth opportunity—it’s a strategic imperative
