F&I Services for Used Car Dealerships
Finance and Insurance (F&I) products contribute to a used car dealership's revenue. The loans and protection options available through F&I are important to consumers, offering warranties, services, asset protection and other benefits. To provide the most benefit to your customers, you need reliable F&I financing for used car dealerships.
With Line 5 financing, you can support a profitable F&I department. At Line 5, we sponsor a wide variety of F&I products for your customers. When you partner with us, you'll improve your customer satisfaction and be able to offer better F&I products and plans. Read on to learn about Line 5 F&I services for used car dealerships.
Financing F&I Products for Used Car Dealerships
F&I products account for about a quarter of dealership gross profits — reliable financing for these products should be a top priority. Line 5 dealership partners have access to various F&I product financing. Here are some of the products we finance:
- Tire and wheel protection: Line 5 will finance tire and wheel protection services. Any vehicle customer benefits from this protection — tires and wheels sustain greater damage than any other vehicle parts. You can increase your customer satisfaction by offering affordable tire and wheel protection plans.
- Lifetime engine warranties: With a lifetime engine warranty, your customers can be sure their engines will last for as long as they own their vehicles, granted they follow the recommended maintenance schedule. This is a huge benefit for any vehicle owner.
- Dealer-owned prepaid maintenance: This is one of the best F&I products for promoting customer retention and loyalty. With dealer-owned prepaid maintenance service, customers will return to your dealership for vehicle maintenance. They'll build a lasting relationship with your dealership, and they'll be more likely to make purchases in the future.
- Service contracts: Though the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may offer a service package, your dealership's contract may provide a flexible deductible and better coverage. This would make it the superior choice for your customers.
- Key replacement: Line 5 will also finance key replacement and reprogramming services, as well as roadside assistance if the keys are locked in the vehicle. Modern keys are often integrated with the car's technology and can be expensive to replace, so customers benefit from this service.
- Anti-theft coverage: Anti-theft protection is highly beneficial for your customers, as it will cover more than a standard insurance settlement. It covers tens of thousands of dollars if a vehicle is stolen or a total loss.
Your dealership's F&I department may choose to group some of these products into a bundle, so your customers can get all the services and protections they want for less. Creating affordable bundle packages may help you appeal to customers and increase your sales. At Line 5, we extend our financing services to dealership bundles — we understand their value and profitability.
F&I Financing for Used Car Dealerships
Line 5 financing is an asset to any used automotive dealership, no matter what type or brand of vehicles you sell. We'll cover your finances when you offer customers plans and protections, both short- and long-term. As an F&I product financing company, we partner with automotive dealerships and support plans such as the following:
- Extended warranty financing: Extended warranties are popular for vehicle customers. With an extended warranty, the customer will have coverage beyond the warranty's end date.
- Vehicle service contract financing: Vehicle service contracts cover vital services like mechanical repairs or roadside assistance.
- Maintenance plans: Every vehicle needs routine maintenance — a maintenance plan makes routine maintenance more affordable for the customer.
- Theft protection: Theft protection is an important precaution many vehicle owners seek, especially those who purchase high-end vehicles.
- Road hazard: Hazard protections are helpful for any vehicle purchase, as unfavorable road conditions are often unpredictable.
- Roadside assistance: Some customers may opt for a separate roadside assistance coverage plan. Covered roadside assistance is extremely helpful for any vehicle customer. It's necessary for those who drive in wet or snowy conditions often.
We help make the above F&I products and plans easier to sell by offering guaranteed approval. With our minimal down-payments and budget-friendly terms, we help you get your customers the coverage they need for prices they can afford. Non-conditional approval takes a lot of weight off your shoulders as you sell F&I products.
