GSFSGroup: product details

GSFSGroup, founded in 1982 and based in Houston, sells F&I products and reinsurance structures. Its products include vehicle service contracts with several obligor structures, GAP, credit insurance, tire and wheel, maintenance programs and a hiring and recruiting program, with training.

It lists five dealer participation structures: NCFC, CFC, retro, dealer-owned warranty company and dealer obligor. It has served dealers since 1982.

It began in Houston.

A finance director comparing providers should ask which structure fits the store's volume, how reserves and claims are reported, what the compliance responsibilities are for each structure and how a maintenance plan feeds service traffic.

GSFSGroup also sells SecureNet Maintenance Plus, a reinsurable maintenance plan meant to bring customers back to the dealer's own service department. A store weighing it should check how the plan is administered and who pays for a repair performed away from the dealership.
