About Us | B2B Warranty Supplier

WMS Group was established in 2003 and is now one of the UK’s leading car warranty suppliers, providing reliable extended warranty cover and other motoring protection to more than 20% of UK automotive dealers.

We were acquired by the Opteven Group in January 2020 and supply a wide range of trusted warranty solutions to the automotive industry. From a three-month warranty to a three year product covering all mechanical and electrical issues including wear and tear, we pride ourselves on helping businesses source the right warranty solution for their customers.

At WMS Group we regularly work with our partners to help them set up new revenue streams, improve customer loyalty and retention, vehicle protection and ultimately, profitability.
