Wise F&I is expanding their product suite to include TIREWise, an automotive tire and wheel protection program. A tire and wheel protection program helps to cover consumers from the expense of road hazard damage to their tires and wheels (rims). Road hazard damage can be caused by hitting a pothole, running over a nail or hitting debris on the road. Any of these instances can cause expensive damage to the consumer’s tires and/or wheels. To help protect the consumer financially, TIREWise offers coverage for the tire and wheel, along with additional benefits including: mounting and balancing, 24 hour roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement and trip interruption.
“By offering a tire and wheel protection program we will provide a beneficial product to the consumer for their vehicle, and also round out our product offerings for our agents, dealers and lender partners,” said Matt Croak, President, Wise F&I.
Wise F&I’s suite of products include: TIREWise, GAPWise, WiseCARE, THEFTWise, WiseTVP and KEYWise. All Wise F&I products are available for electronic contracting.
