NAPA, Calif. -

The newest vehicle service contract product from AUL Corp., is designed to address the increasingly complex technology systems found in today’s vehicles, components that can cost thousands of dollars to repair or replace.

AUL’s senior vice president of product development Jason Garner highlighted this new VSC aptly named AUL-Tech provides comprehensive coverage for vehicle features such as intelligent cruise control, lane departure warning, navigation, display screens, Bluetooth, audio systems and more.

Being focused solely on technology, the F&I provider insisted that AUL-Tech is also affordable, providing dealers with a cost-effective policy delivering more safety and convenience to their car buyers.

Garner also pointed out manufacturers provide particularly long powertrain warranties, especially so with electronic and hybrid vehicles, leaving opportunities for F&I providers such as AUL to cover items and systems that are equally costly to repair.

“Complex technology systems are no longer found in just the luxury makes and models,” Garner said in a news release. “Today, you can find these systems in used vehicles across the pricing spectrum, and with AUL-Tech we’ve developed a best-of-breed solution that covers more makes and models, and older and increased mileage vehicles than any other provider.”

The company noted that comprehensive AUL-Tech coverage involves:

— Touch-display screens
— Adaptive lighting control system
— Accessory power point connection systems
— Factory-installed OEM audio system
— Blind spot detection system
— Bluetooth system
— DVD player system
— Forward, backup, and 360-degree camera system
— Home link system
— Intelligent cruise control system
— Lane departure warning system
— Navigation system
— Parking Assist System
— Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
— Video and gaming system
— WiFi data connection system

Providing coverage for this comprehensive list of technologies, the company calculated AUL-Tech can deliver benefits up to $25,000.

“With AUL-Tech, we wanted to give dealers another cost-conscious arrow for their sales quiver, while giving car buyers the peace of mind knowing the expensive technologies in their vehicle are covered,” Garner said.

AUL Tech is available for traditional vehicles up to 6 years old with less than 60,000 miles, including most makes and models in production. The new policies offer 24 to 84-month terms, with no mileage limitations and include 24/7 roadside assistance featuring towing, flat tire changes, emergency gas delivery and more.
