The JM&A Group has renewed its agreement with Kia Motors America.

Partnered since 2007, JM&A will continue to offer the Kia Distinction branded F&I products and extended warranty services.

According to JM&A, 716 Kia dealers offer at least one of JM&A’s products, with more than 400 utilizing at least five of its offerings.

“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with Kia,” said Forrest Heathcott, JM&A’s president. “We have a great momentum and expect another excellent performance year. JM&A remains committed to providing automotive dealers with strategic support and we look forward to helping Kia maintain superior performance and growth.”

In addition to Kia’s suite of branded products, JM&A also offers Kia dealers F&I training in several areas, including associate development, consumer-friendly sales methods, compliance, marketing and e-contracting.

According to JM&A, Kia Distinction product sales have increased by 25 percent over the last eight years while the Kia certified pre-owned program continues to experience retail growth at 43 percent.

“Our customers’ satisfaction and peace of mind is our highest priority, and providing our dealers with the best possible F&I products and training in the industry helps us ensure that the needs of Kia customers will be met,” said David Carp, Kia’s director of fleet, remarketing and CPO. “We look forward to continuing this relationship with JM&A and utilizing the tools they help us provide our dealers.”
