CHICAGO — F&I Administration Solutions LLC announced that it has purchased certain assets related to the SCS business of DealerTrack Aftermarket Services Inc., a subsidiary of DealerTrack Holdings Inc.

F&I Administration Solutions is owned by David Trinder, a former Senior Vice President at DealerTrack.

Built specifically for automotive aftermarket product and service providers, the SCS Auto platform is a fully integrated, web-based solution that automates and streamlines the F&I product administration process. This complete solution gives F&I product providers the tools to run their back offices. It is a hosted service that enables provider administration staff to access, securely through a web browser, the full suite including product, contract, channel, claims and risk management functions.

“I am very excited about this opportunity,” said Trinder, CEO of F&I Administration Solutions. “We recently launched the SCS Auto Express R8.0 platform, the only truly web-based F&I aftermarket product administration system on the market today, and in response to strong market demand, are about to launch a new web-based GAP module.”

“DealerTrack views this as an opportunity to allow us to focus our efforts on areas that are more strategic to our mission, while, at the same time, not impacting the integration of SCS Auto with our Aftermarket Network business,” said Mark O’Neil, chairman and CEO of DealerTrack.

“The team that supported SCS Auto will move to F&I Administration Solutions, including Kumar Kathinokkula, who has been leading the SCS business for several years,” added Trinder. “I believe this new organization is well positioned to build on the excellent product and service that DealerTrack consistently delivered to its SCS Auto customers and we are looking forward to building even greater success in the future.”
