SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -

American Auto Guardian — a provider in developing, marketing and administering vehicle service contracts and other automotive aftermarket products — rolled out its newly developed mobile application to its agents during the company’s product launch earlier this month.

Company officials highlighted that “storing paper contracts in the glovebox is now a thing of the past” because AAGI Mobile is a customer‐facing mobile application that can interact with all of AAGI’s products.

In the first release available now, users can photograph and register their contracts within the app.  AAGI’s system can update the user’s contract details and vehicle information for their electronic convenience.

These features, paired with the selling dealer’s contact and location details (including interactive maps) and the ability to immediately connect to the program’s roadside assistance service, can allow users to have secure electronic information at their fingertips when they need it most.

AAGI’s creation of the app furthers their technology push for both agents and dealers to utilize AAGI’s online rating/contracting/remittingQR360, as well as partner menu and DMS systems.

AAGI president Tim Brugh insisted that used together, the app can provide a more comprehensive experience for the consumer.

“Our creative team has developed AAGI Mobile to be intuitive and valuable from the consumer’s perspective, while giving our dealer partners a more visible customer presence,” Brugh said.

“Within the app, one of the first things a customer will see is the dealer's phone number and address,” he continued. “Our goal is to drive the customer back to the selling dealer for repairs, service, questions and future sales. This is the just the first generation of what is a one of a kind tool for our dealers.

“I’m proud to offer this product to our agents, dealers, and end users, the car buying public,” Brugh went on to say.
