Leading finance and insurance (F&I) provider Safe-Guard has announced the opening of a third office. Located in Irvine, California, the new facility is designed to help Safe-Guard better service clients across the U.S. and Canada.
With the recent growth witnessed in the automotive industry, greater focus from auto dealers on the F&I space, as well as consumer desire for complete and care-free auto protection, demand for F&I products is reaching record levels.
The expansion to Irvine is designed to help Safe-Guard grow its training capacity and support west coast partners in training initiatives through Safe-Guard University. The office includes advanced training facilities and technologies to host corporate, regional, and area salespeople. Safe-Guard University and other customized training programs are led by Safe-Guard managers with real world dealer experience.
“We’re very excited about the opening of our Irvine office,” said Randy Barkowitz, CEO of Safe-Guard. “Client service is an important part of who we are. Having an office in Irvine will allow us to focus on west coast partners to help them grow their business and create long-term customers. And having a state-of-the-art facility on the west coast will help us expand our training capacity in order to continue moving our clients’ business forward.”
Safe-Guard, founded in 1992, is headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., and opened a second office in Toronto, Ont. in early 2013 to service Canadian clients.
