We are here to assist you with all those vehicle protection questions! Contact us and keep reading below.

Tips to Get the Most from Your Protection Plan

  • Understand What Is Covered: First and foremost, know what parts are covered by your auto protection plan. Keep a copy in your car so you can review it at any time. It would be unfortunate if the mechanic has to spend hours getting to a part only to find out it is not a part that is covered in your plan. If that happens, you have to pay everything, and with that mechanic charging $80-$100 per hour, it will cost you a pretty penny.
  • Be Familiar with the Claims Process: Most repairs need pre-approval before they are done. Call and get authorization. Otherwise, you may get stuck with the repair bill.
  • Avoid Unauthorized Changes: Make sure you understand the details and limitations stated on you contract. Check with your auto protection plan administrator before making any modifications to your vehicle, as installing aftermarket parts may void your contract.
  • Utilize the Auto Protection Services: Complimentary benefits like towing, flat tire changes, vehicle fluid delivery are part of your auto protection plan. Don’t let these go to waste. If you break down on the side of the road, call and get a tow truck sent so you can be on the way to safety!

Keep Your Car Maintained and Keep Records

Protecting Your Auto Protection Plan

Regular maintenance and proof is required to keep your auto protection plan valid. And, should you need repairs to parts that aren’t covered in your auto protection plan then regular maintenance will help keep those uncovered car repair costs down. Maintenance may include:

  • Maintenance to covered components which must be performed at an authorized repair facility.
  • Engine oil and oil filter changes are required. Details are in your auto protection plan contract.
  • Regular transmission service (including fluid, flushes, and filter change) is required. Refer to your auto protection plan contract for details.
  • Proper documentation and verifiable receipts for all maintenance and repairs may be required in the event of a claim. Receipts must include certain information. Refer to your contract for details.
