\/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.efgcompanies.com\/products\/maintenance-plan-vsc\/certified-hide-pre-owned-protection.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Certified Hide Pre-Owned Protection<\/a> makes a strong statement about the quality of a dealer\u2019s inventory and the integrity of the dealer. <strong>The program drives sales, increases front-end gross, and differentiates dealers with the opportunity to provide complimentary extended coverage on all eligible used inventory in a traditionally under-served consumer market.<\/strong> <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>With a 106-point inspection and complimentary 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day unlimited mile options, Certified Hide provides limited powertrain coverage, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"level1\"><span class=\"black\">engine;<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"level1\"><span class=\"black\">transmission;<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"level1\"><span class=\"black\">primary drive;<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"level1\"><span class=\"black\">drive axle; and,<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"level1\"><span class=\"black\">seals and gaskets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, dealerships can supplement their revenue by selling upgrades to EFG\u2019s Hawg Hide VSC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>The winners of the 16th annual Nifty 50 are considered the best of the best<\/strong> in the category of parts, accessories and service solutions for powersports dealers,\u201d said Dave McMahon, Editor-in-Chief of <i>Powersports Business<\/i>. \u201cWe attracted a record number of entrants to the contest. That said, the innovative products we chose are meant to give dealerships an edge leading into the spring selling season. Certified Hide certainly fits that description.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cCPO programs are plentiful in the automotive space, and are just beginning to evolve in the powersports space, driven by consumer demand,\u201d<\/strong> said John Pappanastos, President &amp; CEO, EFG Companies. \u201cIn the post-recession environment, consumers are just now starting to get back into the powersports business and considering used versus new. However, they still expect pre-owned bikes to have the same protection of a new bike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This fully-reinsurable product helps dealers build wealth over the long term and enhance profit margins. As an example, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.efgcompanies.com\/media\/65481\/eaglerider_study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">EagleRider<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest motorcycle travel company, saw a 19 percent increase in unit sales in the first 30 days since the program launched, and a 33 percent increase within the first 90 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur program, private-labelled EagleRider Certified, tangibly reinforces our market messaging related to the quality of the products we sell,\u201d said Chris Clovis, Vice President of Sales, EagleRider. \u201cCombined with our quality service, consumers have high confidence in buying their bike from us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certified Hide Pre-Owned Protection Fills Industry Void &amp; Drives Used Unit Sales EFG Companies, the innovator behind the award-winning Hyundai Assurance program, announced today that the company\u2019s Certified Hide Pre-Owned [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,7,164],"tags":[226,227,222,69,313,17,221,223,224,225],"class_list":["post-746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-efg-companies","category-fi","category-featured","tag-chris-clovis","tag-dave-mcmahon","tag-eaglerider","tag-efg","tag-efg-companies","tag-john-pappanastos","tag-nifty-50","tag-powersports-business","tag-rider","tag-thunder"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/02\/Nifty-50-Release.jpg?fit=756%2C250&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7hsqu-c2","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":987,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746\/revisions\/987"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/efgintelligence.com\/dealershipcorridor\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
