Mitigate Risks and Prevent Repos

A Deeper Look at Rising Repossession Rates
The spike in repossessions isn’t just a statistic; it’s a signal of broader economic shifts. Rising interest rates, stagnant wages, and increased cost of living have created a perfect storm for loan delinquencies. Even as the Federal Reserve makes moves to lower rates, the average APR remains high—11.5% for new vehicles and 7.3% for used vehicles—making monthly payments challenging for many customers. For dealers, each repossession represents more than just a financial loss; it’s a disruption that can impact customer trust, community standing, and relationships with finance partners.

How Advantage GPS Helps Car Dealers Mitigate Risks and Prevent Repossessions
Advantage GPS doesn’t just provide tracking; it redefines asset security through intelligent analytics and predictive insights. Instead of relying solely on location data, our solution empowers dealers with a comprehensive understanding of asset behavior, highlighting at-risk vehicles before issues arise. It’s about gaining a sixth sense for spotting unusual patterns and potential red flags, enabling finance teams to make informed, strategic decisions that go beyond reactive alerts. This capability helps dealers protect their business while enhancing client relationships, shifting the focus from repossession to prevention.

Human-Centered, Proactive Communication
Effective asset management isn’t just about technology; it’s about human connection and timely intervention. With Advantage GPS, dealers can identify early warning signs and proactively reach out to customers, offering support before the situation becomes critical. For example, when a vehicle is idle for an extended period, it could indicate a repair issue or financial hardship. Rather than focusing solely on missed payments, dealers can engage customers in a supportive dialogue, offering solutions like payment flexibility or repair assistance. This approach turns a potential conflict into an opportunity to build trust, reducing delinquencies while deepening customer loyalty.
