Vancouver, BC (August 10, 2020) – LGM Financial Services Inc. (LGM), a leader in Canada’s finance and insurance (F&I) industry, announced today that they have partnered with Polestar, a design-focused electric performance car brand that harnesses refined performance and cutting-edge technology, to launch two new branded F&I protection products.

These products, Polestar Appearance Protection and Polestar Vehicle Protection Plan, are now available at all Canadian retail locations and are designed to support the uncompromised experience Polestar wishes to offer to its customers.

Polestar Appearance Protection allows customers to protect the value of their new vehicle by keeping it looking as flawless and beautiful as it was on delivery day, while Polestar Vehicle Protection Plan provides customers with peace of mind warranty by offering unique coverage specific to Polestar models for potential breakdowns and costly repairs.
