"Part of what we've seen missing in the industry is the personal attention and service that only private ownership can bring to agents, dealers and customers. We want to bring back the enthusiasm that F&I departments thrive on, to assure that everyone benefits," said Jerry Lacour. "RoadVantage is poised for exponential growth and I'm energized by the opportunity."


“My father is the king of great ideas. Itʼs great to be working together again in growing a business” said Garret Lacour. “In two years our team has set to work to rethink and engineer every part of our business to drive value. Jerry will add and deepen the experience of our team and provide seasoned guidance, as we scale into the marketplace.”
