JM&A Group Launches Term Care Select
DEERFIELD BEACH - JM&A Group has launched Term Care Select, a comprehensive plan designed for lease and short-term vehicle owners. It offers drivers premium mechanical failure protection on the majority of mechanical components, as well as wear-and-tear coverage on items such as brake pads, batteries, headlamps, belts and hoses, fuses, light bulbs and windshield wiper blades.
Term Care Select builds on JM&A Group’s Lease Care and Courtesy Care products, reported F&I and Showroom magazine, and will be available to thousands of dealers across the country through Fidelity Warranty Services Inc., according to the company.
“Term Care Select allows us to give our dealers the exact fit of exceptional service and coverage for their customers,” said Forrest Heathcott, president of JM&A Group. “The plan combines the best of our services to provide new-car owners the added comfort and security they need if the unexpected happens.”
