Arlington Heights, Ill. — American Auto Guardian Inc. (AAGI) has announced an expansion of its relationship with Assurant Solutions company, American Bankers Insurance Company of Florida. American Bankers will back AAGI’s Wheelz high mileage used car vehicle service contract program in addition to AAGI’s AutoGuard vehicle service contract program, which American Bankers has underwritten since 2001.

On Feb. 1, AAGI will introduce the new look of the AutoGuard and Wheelz vehicle service contract programs, along with numerous enhancements to both programs. AAGI’s AutoGuard program provides coverage on new vehicles up to 10 years and 120,000 miles, while the Wheelz program provides coverage on used cars regardless of the vehicle’s age or miles.

“When you combine the AutoGuard and Wheelz vehicle service contract programs together in a dealership they become the most encompassing VSC program in the industry,” said Tim Brugh, vice president of AAGI. “Add to that the security provided by Assurant, and the dealership’s personnel will have the confidence and ability to provide a vehicle service contract to every consumer regardless of vehicle type, age, or mileage.”
