Note From Our ChairmanWhile on the road, many of us have had the misfortune of being stranded with car problems at inopportunetimes: Before a critical business meeting, before the start of a child’s first school performance, or justas a close friend or relative needs help. When stranded, every minute that passes feels like an hour.As a premier provider of emergency roadside assistance and related services, Vehicle AdministrativeServices (VAS) goes the extra mile to alleviate drivers’ anxiety during these stressful situations. Ourempathetic customer service representatives (CSRs) understand that an unsatisfied customer has thepotential to cause immeasurable damage throughout the value chain. That’s why we do everythingpossible to elevate your company’s reputation by making sure every situation is handled properly.Our company started as a family-owned business in 1983, and pioneered the wholesale roadsideassistance business. Our customers challenged us to use our customer service expertise in 1998 tocreate a new suite of products. At this point, VAS had evolved to include a timely new focus on essentialprotection products, in addition to our core offering of emergency roadside services.
As the industry matured, our industry was at a crossroads. Some of our competitors began to offerproducts and services that competed with their clients and their clients’ dealer base. At VAS, we madea conscious decision to not go down that road. Competing with our clients is – and will always be –considered a breach of our core values.Instead, we focused on compliance needed to develop relevant, fundamental products that supplement– never compete – with your products. Since then, our goal has been to always be available, flexibleand responsive to your needs. Trust, transparency and integrity are an integral part of who we are, andour long-standing relationships with dependable partners make it a pleasure to come to work every day.Today, our unsurpassed customer service, leading technology, state-of-the-art metric reporting anddiverse wholesale pricing models make us the largest, most comprehensive provider of wholesaleemergency road services and products. I am proud to uphold my family’s legacy and to be an industrythought-leader on relevant products and revenue streams.We are privileged to be your brand ambassador and your first line of defense when your customersneed us most. Sincerely, Bill Breindel Chairman and CEO Vehicle Administrative

Inmy world, that’s objective No 1. With providers in the past, I spent way too muchtime dealing with tow trucks that never showed up. I just don’t get that from VAS.” --Skip Krieger, Claims Manager Ethos Group

Other companies offer pieces, but VAS offers the complete package. Bill understands the entire value chain and each step along the way.” --Rick Kurtz, SVP of Distribution Protective Life
“VAS offers consistently good and responsive service. They have a closed loop system, which means they provide service and then proactively follow up with the customer to make sure the tow truck arrived fast enough etc. There are no open- ended situations.

“We previously worked with one of VAS’s competitors for roadside assistance and key protection. VAS offered competitive pricing and better reporting on loss ratios, number of claims, approvals/denials for claims and the benefits provided for customers.
