Dent Wizard Rolls Out New F&I Programs
Road hazard tire-and-wheel, key protection with Tile Technology and optional add-on coverages highlight the F&I product provider’s new offerings.
ST. LOUIS – Dent Wizard International is expanding beyond the appearance protection menu offerings it’s known for with the introduction of three new F&I programs.
The new lineup begins with AlwaysNu, which features base coverage for road hazard tire-and-wheel, cosmetic wheel repair, roadside assistance service and rental car reimbursement of up to $50 per day. Customers have the option to add any or all of the following coverages: dent repair with a hail benefit; windshield repair; interior repair; and key protection featuring Tile technology.
Tile uses Bluetooth to communicate with an easy-to-use companion app on a smartphone or tablet.
The F&I product provider also rolled out Nu Key, a key protection product featuring Tile, key lockout service, roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement of up to $50 per day.
Also included in the rollout is Ding Shield One, which features base coverage for dent repair, plus a hail benefit and rental car reimbursement of up to $50 per day. Buyers can also add cosmetic wheel repair; windshield repair; interior repair; cosmetic bumper repair; and key protection featuring Tile.
“These new F&I programs allow us to apply our proven customer service, product reliability and technician expertise beyond cosmetic reconditioning,” said Lindsey Bird, Dent Wizard’s senior vice president of F&I. “F&I managers can now offer their customers more of the right choices in easy-to-buy programs that let them drive off the lot with greater peace of mind. Customers are protected from the unexpected incidents that affect the safety, appearance, operation, and value of their new purchase.”
