According to **JD Power**, the average dealer only sells **Vehicle Service Contracts** (VSCs) 25-30% of the time, yet nearly 70% of consumers purchase vehicles *with protection in mind*. So why are so many customers leaving the dealership without buying these coverages? The answer lies in several key factors. First, manufacturers have enhanced their warranties, and F&I managers often struggle to overcome objections tied to these warranties. When customers purchase new vehicles, they frequently express sentiments like, "*I can buy* *coverage later*." While they're correct that they can, the real question becomes: Who will they buy it from? With the rise of companies like **CarShield** and **Endurance**, dealers are losing market share to third-party providers *aggressively* *targeting their customers after the sale.* Even manufacturers like **Mopar** and **Ford** have begun engaging directly with customers post-sale to offer coverage, *cutting* *out the dealer altogether.* Some dealerships have responded by partnering with call centers or sending mailers to customers, but let’s be honest: *when was the last time you were thrilled* *to receive a sales call or a letter in the mail?* Exactly. Consumers are no longer responding to these *old-school tactics, nor should they have to.* The F&I office has long been the last area in a dealership without a fully **automated platform** designed to help dealers sell their products *post-sale* or through the **service drive**. Why is that? It’s a question many industry experts have asked for years. While some providers are developing their own consumer-facing websites to offer products directly, *how does that truly benefit the dealer?* Why would the providers be doing anything that can decrease the dealers market share instead of enhancing their offerings to help dealers increase their market share? At **Pauldron**, we’ve built a solution to give the power back to the dealer. Our platform enables dealerships to reconnect with their customers at key points in the ownership journey, *allowing them to purchase the coverage they want—without the* *pressure of a hard-sell phone call or the hassle of returning to the dealership.* With the rise of **digital retailing** and tech-savvy consumers, it's time for dealerships to embrace *new technology* that enhances their F&I offerings. **Pauldron** is designed to *level the playing field*, giving dealers a way to *regain their* *market share*. In a landscape where dealerships are constantly battling to retain their customers, **Pauldron** stands out as a *game-changer*—allowing customers to purchase your coverages post-sale and ensuring they’re engaged at every major point in their *ownership experience*.   ***Ready to take back control of your F&I sales*?** Contact **Pauldron** today to learn how we can help your dealership stay ahead, reconnect with your customers, and boost your F&I revenue effortlessly. ## Related posts [![](https://blog.pauldron.net/hs-fs/hubfs/AI-Generated%20Media/Images/The%20image%20depicts%20a%20busy%20automobile%20service%20bay%20at%20a%20dealership%20on%20a%20late%20afternoon%20Bright%20fluorescent%20lights%20illuminate%20the%20area%20highlighting%20several%20vehicles%20including%20a%20sleek%20sedan%20and%20a%20rugged%20SUV%20both%20raised%20on%20hydraulic%20lifts%20for%20repair%20Technic-1.png?height=200&name=The%20image%20depicts%20a%20busy%20automobile%20service%20bay%20at%20a%20dealership%20on%20a%20late%20afternoon%20Bright%20fluorescent%20lights%20illuminate%20the%20area%20highlighting%20several%20vehicles%20including%20a%20sleek%20sedan%20and%20a%20rugged%20SUV%20both%20raised%20on%20hydraulic%20lifts%20for%20repair%20Technic-1.png)](https://blog.pauldron.net/blog/why-are-dealers-leaving-their-customers-to-the-wolves) [Service Drive](https://blog.pauldron.net/blog/tag/service-drive) ## [Why Are Dealers Leaving Their Customers to the Wolves?](https://blog.pauldron.net/blog/why-are-dealers-leaving-their-customers-to-the-wolves) ![Picture of Matthew Dykstra](https://blog.pauldron.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Headshot%20-%20Matt%20Dykstra%20-%202.jpeg?width=50&name=Headshot%20-%20Matt%20Dykstra%20-%202.jpeg) [Matthew Dykstra](https://blog.pauldron.net/blog/author/matthew-dykstra) Oct 6, 2025, 11:08:05 AM Why Are Dealers Leaving Their Best Customers Unprotected?
