The principal and founder of the Gold Key Protection Plan is the same company that founded Automobile Consumer Service Corporation 32 years ago and Vehicular Service Insurance Company. Later, they entered into a Risk Retention Group and started ACSC of Florida, Inc., a Florida 634 company, in 2002 to serve its Florida customers.In addition, beginning in 1990, ACSC was the pioneer to provide the USDOT and USEPA, a warranty program for Registered Importers. The registration with USDOT and USEPA is still applicable and very successful today. The same principles that were so successful at ACSC have now been applied to Gold Key and are built around a more comprehensive coverage with stronger competitive advantages.
