SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — American Auto Guardian Inc. (AAGI) announced the addition of a trio of powerful new products joining its aftermarket lineup: AutoGuard Plus Mechanical GAP, AutoGuard Prepaid Maintenance, and AutoGuard Sentinel.

A combination of exclusionary coverage and vehicle maintenance, AutoGuard Plus Mechanical GAP is a new VSC solution for lease consumers that features a zero deductible, terms up to 48 months and 60,000 miles, and optional services including brake replacement, tire rotation, and oil change options.

“Lease agreements are getting longer, mileage overages are common, and factory warranties don’t always provide the coverage a customer needs,” said Tim Brugh, CEO of AAGI. “This program closes that gap, and makes leasing the hassle-free driving experience it should be.”

For a standalone maintenance solution, AutoGuard Prepaid Maintenance provides consumers with the ability to “lock in” tomorrow’s service expenses at today’s pricing. Finally, AutoGuard Sentinel protects against environmental exterior hazards and interior stains, fading, and odors, with additional coverage to prevent minor dents, windshield chips and cracks, as well as cosmetic damage to alloy wheels, all according to the announcement.

“It’s clear that product innovation designed to drive incremental sales at the dealer and agent level is vital to AAGI’s continued growth and success,” said Jeff Teuscher, the company’s vice president of sales. “The launch of these products, with unique consumer benefits and terms, will foster agency growth in sales and revenue for our agent partners.”
