We’ll also equip you with signage and materials, including customized benefit sheets and oil change stickers for your dealership to use.

DriveSure provides renewable emergency services designed to deliver your customer back to your dealership. These benefits are similar to what you might expect from traditional roadside assistance, including lockout, fluid delivery, jump starts, and tire changes. But there is one important difference: DriveSure provides dealer-branded, dealer-loyal towing, bringing the vehicle to your service department every time it breaks down in your area, even when other authorized service providers are closer.
Emergency Roadside Assistance is provided for DriveSure customers by Signature Motor Club, Inc., by Allstate.
Towing benefits are good for up to 25 miles.
You can file a claim by logging into dealer.krexinc.com. Under the “Resources” tab you will find the link to our online claims submission portal. Please indicate why your roadside assistance event was not arranged through our toll free number.

Krex® Graphite Engine Lubricant is a superior automotive lubricant (not an additive), dispersing millions of microscopic particles of graphite that enhance the effectiveness of motor oil. Krex® Graphite Engine Lubricant adheres to all of the internal components of the engine, protecting and lubricating all the engine’s vital moving parts: piston, bearings, valve stems, and lifters. In addition, Krex® Graphite Engine Lubricant improves engine compression, reduces energy consumption, and increases load-carrying capabilities.
If your dealership uses Krex® Graphite Engine Lubricant for your vehicle’s maintenance, you may qualify for a warranty that guarantees the lubricated parts of the vehicle’s engine for up to 10 years or 200,000 miles whichever occurs first. This warranty must be maintained by returning to the servicing dealer for the recommended maintenance service that includes Krex® Graphite Engine Lubricant at least every 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
For information about purchasing Krex Graphite Engine Lubricant, please contact us.
