ST. LOUIS — Wise F&I announced that WiseCARE, a vehicle appearance protection program the provider launched in 2013, has expanded to the State of Washington to complete a nationwide rollout. WiseCARE is available for new or used vehicles with coverage benefits that may include paintless dent repair, cosmetic alloy wheel repair, windshield repair, interior and exterior surface repair, and 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, including key replacement.

The availability of specific coverage benefits varies by state and specific WiseCARE contract form. WiseCARE is a fully insured product, with no chemical application, and one of the first of its kind to the ancillary finance and insurance market, noted Matt Croak, the company’s president.

“What makes WiseCARE unique is that the coverage does not require chemical application to a vehicle, and the ability to bundle the product or purchase coverage a la carte,” Croak said. “We have worked to develop WiseCARE as a product that provides the flexible coverage options the consumer is looking for to protect their vehicle and keep it looking ‘new in the wrapper.’”

WiseCARE offers a mobile app for online claims and is available for electronic contracting like all of the Wise F&I products, including GAPWise, VALUEWise, WiseTVP, WiseMVP, TIREWise, THEFTWise and KEYWise. All products are fully compliant and underwritten by an A-rated (or better) insurance carrier, all according to the announcement.
