SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — GMAC Insurance announced two new products available to both automotive dealers and retail customers. The two products, Guaranteed Automotive Protection (GAP) Care Advantage and Repair Advantage, a vehicle protection plan, provide quality, support, flexibility and confidence for both consumers and dealers.
“We have found that the demand for high-quality finance and insurance (F&I) solutions, such as guaranteed automotive protection and vehicle service contracts, continue to increase,” said Mike McHugh, senior vice president of sales for GMAC Insurance's Dealer Products and Services group.
For dealers specifically, the products will provide additional potential for revenue generation and are the first of several new, innovative GMAC Insurance solutions to become available to all dealerships, regardless of the vehicle brand they sell.
GAP Care Advantage:
GAP Care Advantage acts as a safety net for consumers, protecting them from potential “gap” obligations between the covered amounts owed and the actual cash value of totaled or stolen vehicles.
