Stellantis N.V. and JM&A Group have entered into a strategic alliance that will launch FlexCare Drive, a branded suite of finance‑and‑insurance products for Stellantis’ 14 iconic brands, including Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Alfa Romeo. The partnership will allow dealers to offer customized vehicle protection plans, pre‑paid maintenance, and GAP coverage under a single, Stellantis‑branded umbrella, while JM&A Group will administer the products through its network of more than 3,800 dealer locations across the United States and Canada.
The deal builds on Stellantis’ recent expansion of its finance and insurance footprint, which began with the 2023 formation of Stellantis Financial Services and the 2024 partnership with Bolt to provide auto insurance via brand websites. By adding FlexCare Drive, Stellantis aims to deepen dealer relationships and capture higher margins from ancillary revenue streams. Management emphasized that the new suite will give dealers “greater choice and enhanced offerings” and will help the company “continue supporting…our iconic brands” with more comprehensive protection options.
Financially, Stellantis has been navigating a mixed performance cycle. In Q3 2025, the company reported a 13% year‑over‑year increase in net revenues to €37.2 billion, driven by strong demand in North America and Europe. However, H1 2025 revenue fell 13% to €74.3 billion, and Q1 2025 revenue declined 14% to €35.8 billion, reflecting broader market softness. The new F&I partnership is expected to offset some of these headwinds by generating incremental revenue and improving dealer profitability, thereby supporting the company’s goal of disciplined operational execution and profitable growth.
Jim Trebilcock, vice president of global service contracts and North America Mopar brand portfolios, said the collaboration “allows us to expand the limits of innovation through our exciting product lineup and the delivery of world‑class experiences for our customers and dealers.” Scott Gunnell, president of JM&A Group, added that the partnership “gives us the opportunity to apply our tailored approach to a suite of branded F&I products that support evolving consumer needs.” These comments underscore the strategic intent to strengthen dealer loyalty and enhance customer retention through a more robust F&I offering.
The partnership aligns with Stellantis’ broader strategy to diversify revenue streams and improve margin resilience. By leveraging JM&A Group’s expertise and dealer network, Stellantis can accelerate the adoption of its FlexCare brand, potentially increasing ancillary revenue and improving the overall profitability of its dealer ecosystem. While the announcement does not include specific financial targets for the new suite, the move signals management’s confidence in the growth potential of F&I products as a key driver of future profitability.
The announcement is a material event that could influence long‑term investment models, as it introduces a new revenue channel and strengthens dealer relationships—factors that are central to Stellantis’ competitive positioning and margin outlook.
