GWC, one of the largest providers of service contracts to independent and franchise dealerships nationwide, is pleased to announce the launch of its largest suite of vehicle protection products.  GWC’s new Ultra and Ultra Wrap Exclusionary Programs join the company’s growing product line of warranty coverages. By adding Exclusionary vehicle protection plans to its product line, GWC is providing Dealers with the opportunity to offer their customers everything from Powertrain to true “Bumper-to-Bumper” extended coverage on new and used vehicles. 

In addition, GWC has made substantial enhancements to its current vehicle protection plans while reducing the dealer cost.  “At a time when service contract providers, finance companies and the automotive industry in general are raising prices and providing less, GWC is decreasing its prices and providing more,” according to Rob Glander, GWC’s President & CEO. 

“Our 15+ years of experience in this market, along with our solid financial foundation, allows us to do this for our dealers.”  

For over 15 years, GWC has been providing dealers with quality warranty products designed to meet both consumer and dealer needs.  As such, the quality and integrity of GWC vehicle service contract coverage is unmatched in the industry.  With this in mind, GWC created its new Exclusionary coverages to enhance their current covered component programs. 

The addition of the new levels of coverage bring GWC’s suite of vehicle protection plans to five:  Powertrain, Standard and Comprehensive stated component plans along with the new Ultra and Ultra Wrap exclusionary plans.  One of the most anticipated benefits included in the new Exclusionary plans is the Technology Package featuring extensive Sensor coverage.  This Technology Package is also available on GWC’s Comprehensive plan. 

As part of a commitment to provide its dealer partners with outstanding coverage at reasonable costs, GWC has also increased the coverage benefits associated with its Comprehensive plan by 50% while managing to lower the dealer’s cost.  Enhancements also include expanded rental car coverage, along with travel and lodging reimbursement.  With these additions, GWC now provides a full line of extended warranty products to fill every dealer’s needs, giving them even greater flexibility in designing an extended warranty plan package tailored to their customer.
