AFM sells profit.

Where are your numbers?

What is your penetration rate? How are you stacking up against the national numbers, your 20-group, or your own internal projections?

How do you get there?

AFM Development Leader

James J. Thompson

You need to walk the walk to understand an auto dealer’s operational challenges. Running an auto dealership is a tough business and staying ahead of your own goals is a daily pressure cooker.

James J. Thompson, AFM’s President, has the fortitude and background to drive business development teams to increase dealership profits while enhancing customer relations. James’ background as an Officer in the US ARMY Special Forces Group (Airborne) and his experience as an instructor at the United State Military Academy at West Point developed a keen attention to detail and the ability to explain complex issues to new recruits.

Upon leaving the military, James obtained his MBA and developed a national reputation for warranty and contract excellence. Some of his accomplishments include; launching General Electric’s Vehicle Service Contract program, developed and implemented the first successful service drive program in the industry, identified gaps, and developed dealer solutions, owned and administered a Lifetime Powertrain Warranty selling over 3,000 policies per month, developed numerous dealer CFC and DOWC relationships. James Thompson was a Dealer Principle for Hammonton Auto Group (Ford, Mercury, Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep.)

Under the leadership of James J. Thompson, the AFM team has a depth of knowledge and business experience that is unmatched.
