In this episode of the Healey Brothers Pod, Brian Healey sits down with Jeff Alpert, partner at Composition Wealth Management, to break down what vehicle service contracts really mean for customers. Often mistaken for “extended warranties,” these contracts provide coverage that goes beyond the manufacturer’s warranty—helping protect against costly repairs as vehicles become more advanced and parts more expensive.
Jeff shares his unique perspective from working with dealers nationwide, explaining how Healey’s in-house program differs from third-party providers like CarShield, and why that makes all the difference for customer care. From real-life examples of $12,000 sunroof replacements to the ability to override claims in the customer’s favor, this conversation uncovers how vehicle service contracts protect your investment, save you money, and keep you on the road with peace of mind.
Whether you’re buying a new car, holding on to your current one, or simply curious about how these contracts work, this episode will give you the insight you need to make an informed decision.

•The importance of structure, routines, and accountability in personal and professional growth
