Freedom Warranty Adds New Terms for its COMPLETE Manufacturer’s Extension VSC

Freedom Warranty Adds Additional Terms to its popular COMPLETE Manufacturer's Extension VSC

Additional Terms Add Even More Value to Freedom Warranty's CPO Product

Freedom Warranty now offers 12, 24, 36, and 48-month terms with our popular flagship product, the COMPLETE Manufacturer’s Extension (CME) option. Vehicles 10 years old or less with under 80k miles are eligible. Traditional 60, 72, and 84-month terms are still available. Coverage expires at 100k or 125k on all terms.

Chris Miller, Freedom Warranty's chief executive officer, said that Dealers nationwide have been suggesting shorter terms be added to Freedom Warranty’s COMPLETE Manufacturer’s Extension option.

The new terms give Dealers more options to meet their customers’ requirements.

"The additional terms now available with the CME option offer even bigger savings versus a traditional VSC. The CME is an odometer expiration contract with coverage expiring at 100k or 125k. All terms start on the day the contract is written and not the vehicle in-service date. Furthermore, the vehicle does not currently have to be under the manufacturer's warranty. The value of the product is virtually incomparable," Miller explained.

"We always listen closely to our Dealer Advisory Council and its suggestion to add shorter terms made sense. We're excited to introduce them just in time for third quarter 2021."

Option Adds Superior Coverage, Competitive Pricing

The CME option adds the Entertainment Package, Sensor Upgrade, Suspension Upgrade, and Enhanced Labor Rate without the usual surcharges.

In addition, the list of exclusions is greatly reduced making the CME one the most comprehensive contracts in the industry. The CME gives your customer superior coverage at a competitive price.

The CME gives dealers the opportunity to offer a manufacturer’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) type product. Authorized Freedom Warranty Dealers with access to the company's proprietary online dashboard, can generate custom quotes for buyers and demonstrate the new option.

Freedom Warranty Debuts BHPH VSC Program at NAIAD/NABD Show

(CHATTANOOGA, TN) Freedom Warranty will be debuting a new Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) program at the 2019 NIADA/NABD show, set for June 17-20 in Las Vegas. The new program is designed exclusively for Buy Here-Pay Here (BHPH) automobile dealers.

The BHPH program offers dealers the ability to earn additional interest, increase receivables with no additional outlay, and include the VSC in the customer’s monthly payment; just like a traditional car loan, except the dealer earns the interest, not the bank.

The program gives dealers an extra $1,800 on a 36-month deal. No other VSC program in the industry offers this kind of opportunity to the BHPH dealer without the risk of chargebacks or cancelation fees.

A Built-In VSC Keeps Customers Running

Freedom Warranty’s BHPH program helps reduce repossession rates by keeping vehicles on the road for the term of the loan and beyond. Any Freedom Warranty plan 24-months and greater qualifies for this program.

“BHPH dealers have a need for a progressive program that will allow better margins and give their customers real value,” said Chris Miller, chief executive officer. “Freedom Warranty listens closely to dealers and this innovative BHPH-focused Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) program responds to their specific requests.”

We'll See You in Las Vegas

Dealers who want to know more about the BHPH VSC program can visit with the Freedom Warranty Team at the NAIDA/NABD show at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino convention floor, Booth 612. Dealers who want to schedule a visit with a Freedom Warranty team member can set up an appointment online at https://freedomwarranty.com/marketing/network/

Delivering Customer Satisfaction

News from Freedom Warranty

Last year, Freedom Warranty made a commitment to its clients: To dramatically improve Customer Satisfaction. One year later, that promise is being kept with major improvements to Overall Customer Happiness.

A comprehensive plan that included educating and motivating department managers and agents has resulted in a composite satisfaction score of 4-stars on consumer review websites.

Specifically, Google Business Reviews added one-and-a half stars (from a low 2-stars) to the composite rating of 3.1 stars. The Better Business Bureau increased by 20-percent to a total 4.74 out of 5 possible.

"Our industry is tough when it comes to customer satisfaction," said Freedom Warranty's new CEO, Chris Miller. "Contracts can be complex and lead to lots of misunderstandings about coverage, but in the end when a customer files a claim they want to be confident that they will be treated with respect and a sense of urgency. That's where we can turn a negative into a positive."

Long Term Effects

Miller admits that it can take months, if not years, to reverse the damage of bad reviews and unhappy customers. "Our dealers and sales agents depend on us to deliver on their promises to customers. We take that very seriously."

Social media and online reviews can have a powerful impact on the marketplace. Putting an emphasis on resolving consumer complaints requires complex coordination between the dealer network, customer service agents and claims teams.

Team Leadership

"Everybody has to be onboard when it comes to improving service. From the dealer making coverages clear to the customer, to how our customer service agents help contract holders do business with us, to how we handle claims," said Miller.

The gains made over the last 12 months mean keeping a constant attention to keep the ratings level and for any improvement, and Miller understands it is a constant challenge to maintain and improve ratings.

"We are laser-focused on customer satisfaction as we continue on the journey to becoming a leading provider and administrator of vehicle service contracts in the industry," said Miller.
