DALLAS -

F&I Express announced two more companies joined its aftermarket product network.

The newest additions to the network of nearly 100 product providers in an online portal accessible by dealers are Florida-based United States Warranty Corp., and Dent Wizard, a provider of automotive SMART (small to medium area repair techniques) reconditioning services and paintless dent repair (PDR).

United States Warranty was founded in 1975 to fill the unmet F&I needs of local dealerships.

“We are excited to welcome United States Warranty Corp.’s onto the F&I Express eContracting platform,” F&I Express president and chief executive officer Brian Reed said. “USWC offers a full array of customizable F&I products and their customer-centric beliefs align with our business values on amazing customer service.”

USWC president Mark Macek added, “We are looking forward to this union. F&I Express will allow us to continue pushing forward with eContracting options and give our clients better access to the paperless world.”

Along with providing on-site reconditioning services and products to the industry through its relationships with dealerships, auto auctions, body shops, rental companies and insurance companies, Dent Wizard offers multiple branded appearance protection programs and service plans such as Ding Shield.

“We have been looking forward to Dent Wizard’s integration with F&I Express,” Reed said.

“This digital solution supports F&I managers to accurately eRate and eContract F&I products and services instantly within a deal. It really simplifies the process and allows the F&I managers to focus on the customer’s deal, not the paperwork,” Reed continued.

Dent Wizard vice president of aftersales Lindsey Bird pointed out, “Dealers who provide the best customer experience will have a leg up in the marketplace and win the most deals.

“In an increasingly competitive marketplace, we want to provide dealerships with every opportunity to improve their customer CSI. eContracting with F&I Express is just the beginning and we look forward to additional digital advancements with them in the new year,” Bird went on to say.
