APCO Holdings LLC, a provider and administrator of automotive finance-and-insurance products and home to the EasyCare, National Auto Care, GWC Warranty and MemberCare brands, completed four additional acquisitions so far this year.
In early January, APCO announced it had acquired F&I provider National Auto Care. Since then, it acquired the assets of Dealer Capital Group; LDR Enterprises; Relentless Dealer Services; and Option One in separate transactions.
“These acquisitions are the latest examples of our ongoing commitment to acquisitive growth,” said APCO Holdings Chief Revenue Officer Courtney Hoffman. “We are focused on partnering with like-minded, high-growth F&I companies that value a team-oriented culture."
Terry Schmidt and Jared Miller founded Option One, APCO’s most recent transaction. “We are thrilled to be joining forces with APCO and look forward to continuing to deliver the best products and solutions to help dealers build their business the right way,” they said.
Tony Wanderon, CEO of APCO Holdings, says, “Our goal is to continue to be a top provider of F&I products and solutions to customers in each market we serve. Acquisitions like these allow us to accelerate our growth and add teams that share a passion for putting our customers first in all we do.”
