EtchGuard Announces Independent Rep/General Agents Program
EtchGuard International June 25 announced that both EtchGuard and VinTech glass etching programs are now available through select reps and general agents in the United States.
“Over the years, many dealerships have build a comfortable relationship of trust with reps and general agents who already work with them on other financial products, such as service contracts and GAP," said Gerard Marino, company president and founder. "Now, if a dealer wishes, they can obtain our products through these trusted reps, without any increase in price to the dealership.”
In recent weeks EtchGuard has announced a new VIN etch program, an advanced notification program for auto dealers whose customers vehicles have been stolen and international expansion. According to Marino, “Response has been overwhelming. With dealerships under the microscope for honesty and legality, dealerships want proven products with a long track record. After 12 years, serving OE accounts, national and international customers, insurance companies as well as dealers throughout North America, we can provide dealers with peace of mind, along with profits.”
