Online Auto Insurance Provider, Wildwood Insurance Services, Launches New Aftermarket Program Designed Specifically for Auto Dealers

  St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) January 09, 2013 Wildwood Insurance Services, Inc., a provider of online auto insurance as well as home, health, life and business insurance, announces the launch of a new program designed specifically for auto dealers.

According to Julie Hobart, general manager of Wildwood Insurance Services, Inc., the auto industry has been one of the hardest hit in this worldwide economic slowdown. The auto industry was a major focus for many of the government actions that were taken to prevent the economy from slipping into a depression.

As a result of the recession, Hobart says auto dealers were forced to find additional sources of revenue and most have found it in the F&I department aftermarket products. Wildwood Insurances Services’ new program makes it possible for dealers to offer the final missing component to their total auto care package. The company sets the dealer up to offer property insurance and online auto insurance. They provide a turnkey package that allows the dealer to sell auto only, auto and home or all lines of insurance. Wildwood Insurance Services provides 24/7 back office support, training, access to a multitude of competitive top rated online auto insurance carriers, technology, website design and marketing support.

In addition to the F&I department, the dealer will see an increase in revenue in the body shop and service departments – primarily because the online auto insurance agent is always the first person contacted in the event of an accident. Combining the increased revenue in the F&I, body shop and service department, the dealer should see substantial revenue increases.

Therefore, if a dealer wants to increase revenues, expand services, improve customer satisfaction and retention, he will like this program. It is just as beneficial to the customer as it is to the dealer. The customer should save money on their auto insurance, and all services and repairs will meet manufacturer’s specifications.

Wildwood Insurance Services was established in 1964 by Wayne L. Smith incorporated in 1983.

What is home insurance?

Homeowners insurance, or home insurance, compensates you for losses to your home and your possessions inside it, so purchasing a homeowners policy provides added security for your investment. Home insurance also protects you if you're legally liable for someone's injuries on your property, as well as from financial losses caused by storms, fire, theft and other events outlined in your policy.

Why buy condo insurance?

Home insurance isn't your only option when it comes to protecting your belongings. When you own a condominium, you — not your condo association — are responsible for what's inside your condo. That's why having a personal condo insurance policy is important.

Why buy renters insurance?

Renters insurance protects you in situations that everyone can face: fire, theft, water damage and other unforeseen circumstances — situations your apartment owner's policy doesn't cover.
