Dealer discretion on how to implement RFL.
Administration of RFL
RFL is under-written by American Commerce Insurance, and administered by Century Automotive. Both companies are wholly-owned by Mapfre, an A.M.-Best, "A-rated" company with 52 Billion in assets.
Plus much more discretion
Since RFL was built by a Dealer for Dealers, the program has multiple other ways it can be customized to meet the needs of your store, and of your market. Speak to your RFL agent to discover ALL the ways you can customize it.
The average age of U.S. cars and light trucks this year climbed to a record 12.5 years, reflecting the impact of supply constraints on dealer inventories of new vehicles in 2022, as well as reduced consumer demand from higher inflation and interest rates, according to the study by S&P Global Mobility.

About Repaired for Life
RFL is a reinsurance product that utilizes a proprietary software to simplify and streamline the ability to provide an Extended Service Contract (Limited Warranty) product on every eligible repair on your Service Drives. Created by an executive manager of a 20-store auto group, RFL was developed as a true WIN/WIN and has been pilot-tested for over a year within the auto group. Having the ability to pilot it with multiple variations and versions, they were able to test the offer, the client-reception, and the easy-of-use for the advisors and clients. Often it's the case that if the Dealer wins, the client loses. Or, of the client wins, the Dealer loses. With RFL the client gets the peace of mind, transference of risk, and increased confidence in the Dealership. The Dealer benefits by being able to generate additional and untapped revenue, completely paid for by the client, and therefore at NO cost to you - the Dealer.
If I knew of a dealership where I could service my car and know that I wouldn't ever have to pay for the same repair twice, THAT is where I would take my car everytime!

Check out the FAQs
What does the Advisor have to do to make this work?
Virtually nothing – This system will automate the contract and claims 95+% of time. It is stressless and simple because the proprietary software matches the VIN, the Client's Name, and the Part# and RO#. Claims are automated 95% of the time using a 3-step process that takes 30 seconds.
What Fees are associated with the program: ceding, claims, etc?
There is a one-time $15 Admin Fee per qualified RO. This Admin Fee is NOT per Repair Operation on the RO, but only based on the completed RO with the applied RFL coverage. This $15 fee is entirely paid for by the client and is NOT paid by the Dealer.
What are the Limitations of the RFL policy? (what’s excluded)
Repaired For Life has a small list of standard items that are excluded. These items are considered "normal wear & tear" items, and additional items normally NOT covered by ESC programs. A full, and complete list is available upon request.
Who provides support to the program?
The RFL program will be supported by the entire RFL team, including: RFL Agents, Administrator Staff, and the software team are here to help you succeed with claims, software, remittance, etc.
Can the Advisor or Service Manager override a claim?
Yes. As long as the Admin Fee structure has a “grey area” policy in place, the Service Dept. has discretionary control on additional repairs.
Can this be ceded into my current reinsurance company?
Yes. The program is designed to be ceded into your existing reinsurance portfolio. In the event you want help establishing a custom reinsurance program, we can help with that too. Just let us know how we can help.
Will I get Trademarked marketing materials & POS materials?
Yes. Repaired for Life will provide approved marketing materials for your Dealership. Point of Sale materials, including: fliers, handout's marketing tents, and posters, are all available to support the program.
What are the Dealer’s on-boarding & monthly costs for the program?
$0 – No up-front commitment & No monthly commitment to the Dealership for the RFL program. You can on-board your store and there is NO set-up fee to begin the program or monthly-fee for access to the software.
