Madison Heights, Mich.-based Guidepoint was selected following an extensive review by Galpin executives of GPS-based vehicle tracking systems. Guidepoint integrates advanced GPS and wireless technology with proprietary software, Web and call-center solutions to deliver a range of location-based services including stolen vehicle recovery, roadside help, fleet management and asset protection.
"Galpin Motors is pleased to offer Guidepoint's stolen vehicle recovery and driver convenience solutions to our customers. Guidepoint products are easy to sell, easy to install and easy to use," said Bert Boeckmann, owner of Galpin Motors Inc. "That is critical in today's fast-paced environment where customers frequently do extensive research on cars and accessories before they visit the dealership, and transaction times are half what they used to be."
"The team at Galpin Motors has a long history of delivering exceptional value and exceptional service to its customers, and we are pleased to be working with them," said Rand Mueller, president and chief executive officer of Guidepoint. "GPS-based vehicle recovery, safety and convenience systems have become a sought-after item among new car buyers, who want to protect their new vehicle as well as the passengers in it. We're confident that Galpin's dealerships will find Guidepoint a popular product that provides significant value to customers."

"By selling Guidepoint through our F & I offices, we can offer customers a highly valued, competitively priced product that can protect the investment they've made in their vehicle and, more importantly, their passengers and loved ones," continued Boeckmann."
