If your warranty company wasn't making a profit off of you, would they still do business with you?

Quick question for any dealers in here: do you know what percentage of your service contract premium is kept by your warranty provider? Most dealers have never asked. The answer is usually surprising. Drop a comment if you want to know more about how some dealers are restructuring this.

Every F&I product you sell today is funding someone else's reinsurance company—not yours. In three steps, DealerRE sets you up as the owner of that profit center: set up your own insurance company, fund it with deals you're already closing, and start receiving distributions that used to walk out your door. This isn't a new revenue stream. It's the one you've been building for someone else.

Every claim paid at your dealership? Someone's profiting from it—and it's probably not you.
F&I products are built with profit margins already inside them. The gap between premiums collected and claims paid out is real money. If you don't own the company holding those funds, you're funding someone else's bottom line.
BHPH or franchise—either way, that gap exists in your store.
That gap can stay in your dealership instead. DM us and we'll show you what your dealership could be keeping instead.

Your dealership sells the warranty. Someone else keeps the profit. Does that still sit right with you?
Every third-party warranty sold on your lot sends reserve profit to a company that did none of the work. You built the relationship. They built the bank account.
BHPH or franchise—it’s the same story, different volume.
You can own the structure behind those products and keep what's yours. DM us and let's show you the numbers.

A dealer came to us doing 40 units a month. Thought he had a solid operation.

Once we ran his numbers, he saw exactly how much profit was walking out the door every single month.

His words: "I wish I'd done this five years ago."

If you're at 30+ units BHPH or franchise, we'll run the same numbers for your dealership. No cost, no pressure.
