DALLAS — StoneEagle, a provider of web-based applications and end-to-end insurance administration systems, announced that Louisiana Dealer Services Inc. implemented VPay to change the method of paying Mechanical Breakdown Insurance claims among its extensive network of automotive dealer customers and approved repair facilities.

“Louisiana Dealer Services has realized considerable benefits since implementing VPay,” said Pat McBride, director of claims underwriting at LDS. “VPay provides a streamlined and responsive method of handling claims with our client dealers and simplifies the reconciliation process for our back office operations.
