I am confident that our future is bright.”

Mr. Scot Eisenfelder stepped down from his role as CEO of APCO Holdings effective with the closing. “Scot added immense value to this organization during his tenure. We thank Scot for his dedicated leadership and the progress made in this very challenging market”, said Executive Chairman O’Neill. 

Mr. Wanderon is now CEO of the new combined company. “We look forward to Tony’s leadership, leveraging his deep experience in the F&I arena, his demonstrated history of building strong businesses to successfully support auto retail F&I operations, while creating a strong customer-oriented culture.”

APCO’s and National Auto Care’s shared expertise and complementary offerings will be leveraged to help dealers meet changing market needs, such as the continued emergence of digital retailing and EV sales. The expansive, combined F&I product suite will allow dealers to capture more revenue through increased sales opportunities, including additional EV offerings, high-mileage products, access to the MotorTrend Certified program and expertise in both RV and powersports industries.
