LAKEWOOD, Colo.--March 22, 2005--Driven by 32 percent growth in service contract volume and strong underwriting results, GE Auto Warranty Services (AWS) delivered record results for 2004.

"Continued growth in existing accounts, significant new account growth attracted to our industry leading technology, service and participation programs, and the addition of three new strategic partners produced solid growth for the company in 2004," says Jim Slavik, president, GE AWS.

GE AWS also continued its focus on operational efficiency, driving a 13 percent increase in productivity in 2004. With more than 80 percent of its business submitted electronically, GE AWS has taken the next step in its mission to offer industry leading "e-servicing" by providing a certified Dealer Management System integration solution with its 2005 product launch.

In addition to the trusted name of GE, AWS uses an integrated model that is the secret to success in the service contract industry, according to sales leader George Godfrey.
