WE NOW OFFER GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) INSURANCE…..

Putting less than 20% down on your vehicle purchase means you could be “upside down” on your loan-to-value ratio for the next two to three years.  GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) helps ease your financial burden by paying the potentially high-cost difference between your insurance settlement and your loan balance on items directly related to the purchase of your vehicle.

 

If you already have a vehicle loan with us, it’s not too late to purchase GAP Insurance.  For $95 you can purchase this protection and have peace of mind.  Give us a call at 898-1388.
