UACC Selects AUL As National Service Contract Provider
NAPA, Calif. - United Auto Credit (UACC) selected AUL to be their national service contract provider. AUL, a Napa, Calif. based company in the vehicle service contract business, has a strong national network of agents and dealers. The combined strength of the field representation and dealer base of the two companies creates a formidable team in the non-prime space.
"Common sense thinking differentiates UACC in the automotive lender space and allows us to create intimate dealer and customer relationships. AUL fits perfectly into our approach as their market knowledge, claims expertise and outstanding reputation truly complement the UACC offering," said Jim Vagim, president and CEO of UACC.
Currently in the national roll-out phase, both AUL and UACC believe that the co-branded vehicle service contract they developed will add business to the portfolios of both companies. To date, dealer response has been strong with an unprecedented number of dealers signing up to take advantage of the service contract program.
"AUL and UACC are a perfect fit," says AUL COO Jimmy Atkinson. "By working jointly to bring together the strengths of both companies, and providing terrific products, we add value to both company's dealers and their customers."
"AUL has shown the expertise in the vehicle service contract industry and proven that they have the technology and team to be an enthusiastic partner with UACC," said Jim Vagim, "By teaming with AUL we offer our dealers a seamless solution to provide their customers with protection that complements the UACC loans."
