MASON, Ohio — TriStar will be launching a new vehicle
service contract on Jan. 3 focused on customers who serve in a branch of the
U.S. military.

Officials explained TriStar Freedom Guard is designed to
help service members keep their vehicle running smoothly. Should there be a
covered failure, Freedom Guard can provide additional assistance for the
service member and their family.

TriStar believes the plan can meet their specific needs and
gets them back on the road with minimal inconvenience.

All Freedom Guard plans offer deployment extension, enhanced
claims assistance, PCS/trip interruption, substitute transportation and
emergency roadside assistance. Freedom Guard will also offer an optional tire
and wheel protection.

"We are very excited to be providing industry leading
protection to service members here and abroad," said Brian McDonald, TriStar president
and chief executive officer.

National product manager Michael Monaghan insisted Freedom
Guard is another example of TriStar's commitment to service members and their
families.

"I am very proud to be a part of an organization that offers
our service members a superior service contract that truly protects those who sacrifice
so much for us," Monaghan said.
