For example we had a dealership in 2014 make $26,895 gross profit from this member benefit: Total Contracts sold in 2014 Dealer pays charge customer 55 $110 $499 55 x $110 = $6,050 total cost for your dealership for 55 protection plans 55 x $499 = $32,945 total revenue generated for 55 protection plans $32,945 - $6,050 = $26,895 total gross profit generated for 55 protection plans The retail rates vary per state but this provides you with a brief overview of how much revenue can be generated. Florida retail rates for trailers for 5 year protection plans vary at approximately $320 per contract. The benefit includes a 5 year warranty program covering both the trailer and the towing vehicle (when the tow vehicle is attached and is being used to tow the listed trailer). There is absolutely no deductible to your customer! COVERAGE INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING: Repair or replacement coverage for tires and rims caused by road hazards such as potholes, 8 NATDA Magazine debris or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Towing & Roadside Assistance is available 24-hour (365 days per year). Dispatched services include assistance with changing your tire and if you do not have an inflated spare tire, we will tow you to the nearest service station. Reimbursement is provided for the full amount of charges incurred for the repair of the flat tire(s). Additional wheel/rim plus mounting/balancing protection will also apply.
