AUSTIN, Texas — RoadVantage, a provider of F&I programs for the automotive industry, today marked its second anniversary by announcing two expansion moves aimed at fueling its continued growth.
RoadVantage announced that it has moved into larger offices to accommodate increased staff and volume. The company also announced two new additions to its executive team. Joining the company is Reese Hillard, who will serve as senior vice president, and Randy Ross, who will serve as senior vice president of sales.
“With Garret Lacour, co-founder and former CEO of IAS, at the helm, RoadVantage entered the F&I ancillary products market with a bang two years ago and has been blazing new trails ever since,” said Hillard, who bring more than three decades of industry experience. “RoadVantage is setting a new industry standard in F&I, and I’m pleased to be part of that.”

I’m honored to lead the sales efforts for RoadVantage as we enter this next phase of growth.”
The company also announced it has expanded its online training and has begun hosting webinars on topics such as reducing claims fatigue. The company also continually evolves and expands its F&I product line to provide dealers and agents with a full portfolio of standalone and bundled programs.
