We are more than a provider of F&I products. We are a dedicated partner in your dealership's success. Tax-efficient programs, adaptive training, and ongoing coaching designed to compound results month after month.
Michael & Emilia AufmuthAgency Principals
Elite FI Partners is an independent F&I agency, founded in 2013, that gives automotive, powersports, RV and marine dealerships three things from one partner: F&I products from more than a dozen administrators, dealer reinsurance and profit participation programs, and adaptive F&I manager training.
Our vision has always been bigger than selling products or offering standard training. For us, it's about culture and impact. Inside our agency, we've built a team that shares the same passion to lead, to innovate, and to make a difference.
Our mission is to transform the partnership between agencies and dealerships: to move beyond transactional relationships and become a trusted force for growth. Every dealer partner deserves more than a vendor. They deserve a team that understands their challenges, stands beside them, and pushes them to reach new heights.
This is the standard we live by. This is the future we're building. Together, with our dealer partners, we're not just keeping up with the industry. We're shaping what's next.
Vehicle service contracts, GAP, appearance, tire and wheel, theft and GPS, and fixed-ops programs for automotive, powersports, RV, marine and commercial dealers, each placed with the administrator that fits your store.
Keep the underwriting profit and investment income on the F&I products your store already sells. We model Retro, CFC, Super CFC, NCFC and DOWC side by side on your own production, so the structure fits your volume and goals.
Adaptive Training pairs an on-demand F&I course library with in-store and virtual role play on real deals, and the Dealer Timeline keeps every visit, assignment and result in one place between sessions.
“Your rep is key. There hasn’t been a single issue I’ve had that hasn’t been handled within a 24-hour period.”
“My costs of warranty contracts have gone down tremendously. … When they’re not apt to cover a certain claim that we feel should be covered, Mike will make the phone call to those warranty companies and get those things covered.”
“Michael called another provider, and even though they weren’t involved with it, they got involved. They got the customer taken care of, got the claim paid for them, and they didn’t even have a contract with them.”
