-- Ascent Dealer Services, an F&I agency built by professionals with direct dealership experience, is highlighting its combined approach to finance and insurance pairing a full product lineup with hands-on coaching and multiple dealer participation structures designed to improve profitability and transparency.
The Alton, Illinois-based company, led by CEO Adam Marburger, works with dealerships across the United States spanning the automotive, truck and bus, RV, marine, and powersports segments. Rather than offering products or training in isolation, Ascent structures its F&I support so that product deployment, team development, and wealth-building participation options function as a single integrated program.
“Dealers don’t need another product suite, they need a partner who has sat in the F&I chair,” said Adam Marburger, CEO. “We pair proven products with real coaching so teams can grow profit while giving customers a clearer, more transparent experience.”
The combined offering addresses several areas that directly affect dealership F&I performance.
Full Product Lineup
Ascent’s product suite includes vehicle service contracts, GAP programs, appearance protection, diminished value coverage, key replacement, tire and wheel protection, and bundled protection plans. These products are designed to give F&I managers a comprehensive menu to present across deal types and customer profiles.
No Chargeback GAP and Repaired Forever Warranty
Among the specific programs Ascent offers are its No Chargeback GAP product and the Repaired Forever lifetime parts warranty. No Chargeback GAP is structured to eliminate dealer chargebacks on GAP claims, while Repaired Forever provides a lifetime parts warranty option that dealerships can present to customers as a long-term ownership benefit.
F&I Coaching Rooted in Retail Experience
Ascent’s coaching program draws on the team’s background working in dealership F&I offices. The program focuses on developing F&I managers who can close with confidence, communicate product value clearly, and maintain consistency across transactions. Coaching targets measurable metrics including per-vehicle retail and product penetration rates.
Support for Reinsurance, DOWC, and NCFC Structures
Ascent supports multiple dealer participation structures, reinsurance, dealer-owned warranty companies (DOWC), and non-controlled foreign corporations (NCFC). These structures allow dealerships to retain underwriting profit and build long-term wealth from their F&I operations, with Ascent providing guidance on selecting and managing the appropriate model.
Metric-Focused Approach to F&I Performance
The company’s program is built around tracking specific dealership metrics, particularly PVR, product penetration, and customer satisfaction scores. By tying coaching and product strategy to these data points, Ascent works to connect its services directly to measurable changes in dealership performance rather than offering generalized training.
Transparent Customer Experience as a Core Priority
Ascent’s coaching emphasizes clear communication during the F&I process, aiming to create a buying experience where customers understand the products being offered and the value they provide. This focus on transparency is integrated into how F&I managers are trained to present products and structure deals.
