How One Product Revolutionized the F&I Industry

Vehicle Armour is the comprehensive “Ah, $%@&!” product Armour Group offers. It was the first of its kind and revolutionized the Automobile Finance & Insurance industry, so much so that manufacturers and other F&I providers straight-up copied many of its components and began offering similar packages — although we still believe ours is the best ??

“Ah, $%@&!” incidents are things like cracked windshields, lost keys, parking lot surprises and more. They are hassles, not catastrophes, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be expensive at the worst times. With Vehicle Armour, your customers know that when something happens that’s out of their control, the cost won’t come out of their pocket.

This edition of the newsletter runs down how Vehicle Armour protects customers from the kind of everyday nuisances that can just drive them crazy.

There are four package tiers, each includes all the benefits of the one before and brings a little something extra — or a lot. And they drive loyalty, because they keep customers coming back to the dealership for repairs and replacements.

SILVER

Key/Remote Replacement

Keys these days are mini-computers, and some can cost upwards of $1,000 to replace! If you’re someone who tends to “misplace” things, are they normally $1,000 things?

Dent & Ding Protection

Do you park in the driveway? Do you have kids? Do those kids play in the driveway? Well, no need to worry about that basketball-sized dent.

Windshield Repair

Are you a drive-to-work person? Do you ever find yourself behind a dump truck carrying “flying” stones? Enough said.

GOLD

Tire & Wheel Protection

Do you live in a city with potholes the size of Volkswagen Beetles that seem to appear out of nowhere? When you can’t swerve, take solace knowing any repairs or replacements are taken care of.

PLATINUM

Interior Protection

Pets. Luggage. Tools. Any can cause minor rips and tears, which not only look bad but will impact your trade-in or sale value.

Cosmetic Wheel Repair

How’s your parallel parking? Few things are more agonizing than the feeling in your gut when you scrape a rim along the curb. Luckily, that’s covered.

ULTIMATE

Paint Repair

Ever run into the mall with a quick Honey-Do List and come back to find some [insert expletive] has been way to close to your car with their shopping cart? No worries.

Windshield Replacement

You’re off to ruin a good walk with a round of golf. (We kid.) But what will ruin your day is the hacker who slices a tee shot into the parking lot and leaves a Pro V1-sized hole in your windshield.

Head/Taillight Protection

Similar to your windshield, but something that’s more statistically likely to happen, harder to notice right away and can get you in trouble with the 5-0. Also covered.

Car Rental Protection

That fender bender you didn’t think was a big deal … is. And you’ve got places to be. Luckily, your rental is paid if your vehicle needs to be in the dealership for repairs longer than a day.

This newsletter is 100% “Ah, $%@&!” free, just like repairs and replacements for many of the day-to-day hassles vehicle owners deal with. If you liked it or have anything to add, please share and comment.
