ATLANTA – Safe-Guard Products International LLC launched RideSafe, a suite of products designed specifically for independent dealerships. Safe-Guard's RideSafe product suite is available immediately in most states.

“As the automotive industry continues to rally and recover from the economic downturn of late 2008 and 2009, independent dealerships are continuing to make great strides in gaining market share,” said Safe-Guard President David Duncan. “This growth is expected to endure into 2013 and beyond, and we believe it is important to recognize the business opportunity this affords both Safe-Guard and our partners.”

The RideSafe product suite includes a Vehicle Service Contract program, Tire & Wheel plus Roadside Assistance and GAP protection. RideSafe VSC provides four levels of coverage, powertrain to exclusionary, with short-term options designed specifically for the independent dealer.

RideSafe Tire & Wheel Plus Roadside Assistance offers short-term options and limited, but generous, claim maximums. Roadside Assistance is embedded in the product, so no motor club license is required. RideSafe GAP provides a comprehensive 150 percent Settlement GAP program.
