DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. -

F&I product provider JM&A Group recently entered into an agreement with Volvo Car USA to provide a full suite of branded F&I products for new and used vehicles to more than 300 Volvo dealers nationally.

Through Volvo’s branded F&I program known as Volvo Increased Protection (VIP) Plans, JM&A will administer its F&I products. These will include vehicle service contracts, prepaid maintenance, tire & wheel protection and certified pre-owned (CPO) service contracts.

As an added benefit, JM&A’s nationwide network of 300-plus dedicated field representatives are being asked to deliver training services and in-store support to help enhance the vehicle-buying experience, boost customer loyalty, reinforce dealer compliance and improve overall performance.

“We are honored to join forces with a globally recognized and trusted brand like Volvo and be a part of its continued growth and success,” JM&A Group president Forrest Heathcott said. “Our company remains committed to providing premier products and services to our partners and their loyal customers. We look forward to sharing our market knowledge to bolster Volvo’s F&I results.”

The new alliance was announced to an audience of more than 500 dealers and personnel during the 2016 Volvo North American Customer Service Conference on Oct. 25.

“JM&A Group understands our business values and objectives and we look forward to a seamless integration of their expertise into our efforts,” said Tony Nicolosi, president and chief executive officer of Volvo Car Financial Services. “We focus on building a luxury brand that is synonymous with excellent customer care and superior products, and JM&A was a natural alignment to help accomplish our goals.”
