"The Instructor knows the game and what’s going on. Producing profit without heat and legal problems is ALL most owners want from their selling employees. It’s ALL about the deal, how to fund the deal and how to find another deal. BUT, when the deal presents itself, you’ve got to know what to do with the parameters given. A month of instruction is probably about right, but it’s amazing how fast it went. I’d suggest keeping the aspects as close to the current show room action as possible."

"This has to be one of the greatest learning experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been in the car business for several years and I thought that it would have been an easy transition into finance. After attending ADI and going through their curriculum I’ve learned things that I couldn’t possibly have learned in a dealership. With the sales experience that I brought with me and the knowledge that I’m taking away, there is nothing I can’t achieve in this business. No ceilings! Everyone here has been great and I thank you all for making this a great experience."

It is charged with three primary tasks: completing all the legal paperwork involved in the purchase of a vehicle, arranging credit for customers who need it, and then helping those customers protect their investments by presenting them with option packages.

Most F&I Departments offer services far beyond credit and insurance. They also offer vehicle protection contracts and aftermarket products designed to protect the customer’s investment, such as alarm systems and products that protect vehicle finish and interior fabric. The Finance Department’s services focus attention on the benefits of financial arrangements and protection for both customers and their new vehicles.

The purpose of the Finance Department is to serve the financial and security needs of customers and to expedite the purchase process while generating a reasonable return to the dealership. Finance managers act as advisers, helping customers consider the advantages and disadvantages of alternatives that are available to them.

The F&I Department is also crucial to the dealership’s ability to retain customers. It has been proven that people who take advantage of F&I services and products are more likely to return to that dealership. If the customer chooses to pursue financing through a source other than the dealership’s Finance Department, they are likely to second-guess opinions of the dealership personnel, and will be unlikely to return.

If the customer has a good experience in the Finance Office, there is a good chance he will return to the dealership for future purchases, and tell his family and friends about it. Conversely, a negative experience in the F&I Department can be detrimental to the dealership, and hurt its future prospects.
