Service Group Partners With Kawasaki
AUSTIN, Texas — Service Group has partnered with Kawasaki Motors Corp. U.S.A. to provide comprehensive extended coverage on new and used powersports units sold at Kawasaki dealerships throughout the United States.
Service Group will be the administrator for the new GAP, tire-and-wheel and prepaid maintenance products being offered alongside Kawasaki’s rebranded factory coverage, Kawasaki Protection Plus.
To enhance its current product offerings for non-Kawasaki units, Service Group will also administer GAP, tire-and-wheel, prepaid maintenance, and extended service agreements in a new product called Preferred Protection Plus.
“We think the alignment of our company values, culture, and products will lead to a great long-term partnership,” said Martin Jenns, president of the Service Group, of the new partnership.
More than 400 Kawasaki dealerships are currently selling the new products.
