Auto Network Consulting Acquires Cornerstone Insurance

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - Orange County, CA - Apr 05, 2017 - ​Owner of Auto Network Consulting Audrey McKinley, announces her plans to take Cornerstone Insurance customers into the ‘nextgen’ of F&I business solutions.

F&I (short for Finance and Insurance) products include Vehicle Service Contracts, Tire and Wheel Protection, Pre-paid Maintenance, and other ancillary products for consumers who buy cars.   Auto Network Consulting partners with automobile dealers to market these programs that complement their core business.  Auto Network Consulting has over 27-years of industry knowledge and offers a full spectrum of services ranging from reinsurance to in-house dealership training, coaching and development.

McKinley was named to acquire Cornerstone when Rod Gajewski, former proprietor announced his 20-year agency retirement.  “Audrey has extensive experience in the auto industry.  I am confident in her ability to not only maintain the high service standards I have set, but to raise the bar to set her own” said Gajewski.

McKinley and Gajewski have been colleagues for over 25-years, where they met as McKinley began her auto industry career in one of the largest Toyota dealerships in the country.  Since, she has worked her way up the ranks to gain valuable experience in the operations of Business Office, F&I, and Sales Management (with focus on leadership and training), ultimately leading to her founding of  Auto Network Consulting in 2015.

McKinley states, “I am an industry leader and trusted advisor to many, not just another auto dealership vendor.  I surround myself with other leading authorities who possess a wealth of knowledge that I can share with my clients.  I only offer the best products positioned to help my customers grow and prosper.  Pricing and products are competitive everywhere.  Integrity is the forefront of my business model.  At the end of the day, it is what sets me apart from my competitors.   I’ve worked in many dealerships, and I understand the business from the ground-level up.   Training, leading, and creating solutions is my passion. I can confidently say that the job gets done when you call me.”

McKinley is one of only a handful of women fulfilling this niche business of F&I product and service offerings for direct and reinsurance solutions to the auto industry.  She is also working to secure the next generation of professionals by developing mentorships at the high school and college levels.  She is a proud supporter of the auto industry, and firm believer of its ability to provide a solid economic stamp on the community.
