The company

AutoProtect, Smart Insurance, and Shine! Repairs consolidated to form the AutoProtect Group in 2018. In late 2020, technology firm DealTrak joined AutoProtect Group. Future45(now Digital+) joined in 2021. Bringing these companies into one group allows each to operate independently but harness the collaborative power of a close, cohesive working relationship. We work with vehicle retailers and manufacturers to bring award-winning protection, warranty and insurance products; easy-to-use Finance and Insurance platforms; and high-quality customer services, founded on FCA Treating Customers Fairly principles. iComply Online is a compliance consultancy and auditing firm specialising in FCA regulation within the automotive industry.
