GWC Warranty Releases Fifth Video In Award-Winning Behind The Wheel Dealer Story Series
WILKES-BARRE, Penn. – GWC Warranty, the best-in-class provider of used vehicle service contracts and related finance and insurance products sold through automotive dealers, has released the fifth video in the award-winning Behind The Wheel dealer story series.
The latest release in the Behind The Wheel series features Safeen Motors, an independent dealership in Garland, Texas owned and operated by two former Iraqi refugees. The story of Safeen Motors is an inspiring tale of the American dream as told by two motivated business owners who use their memories of time spent in refugee camps and their appreciation for their opportunities in America as motivation to never take any customer for granted.
“Behind The Wheel continues to uncover and document impactful stories of dealers and their unique paths to success,” said GWC CEO and President Rob Glander. “The story of Safeen Motors is especially inspiring given the fact that these two owners persevered through unspeakable circumstances to today run a thriving used car dealership.”
Behind The Wheel, winner of a 2015 Automotive Communication Award, pulls back the curtain to unveil the people and communities that make dealers successful. Each dealership’s story also delves into how GWC Warranty’s best-in-class service, products, training and technology align with dealers’ missions to operate reputable, successful businesses.
