Finance Express will be the first dealer management system of its kind to offer its independent automotive
used car dealers access to JMsolutions' ProFi Menu and JM&A Group's Extended Warranty and GAP
programs," states David Huber, President of Finance Express. "This is another opportunity for our dealers
to present and sell comprehensive aftermarket products and services to their customers at competitive prices,
while increasing their profit margin on every car sold."
