Buying your plan the same day of purchasing your new vehicle locks you into the best pricing. If you are under factory warranty but outside of 30 days, it is wise to buy sooner than later to lock in the best pricing possible.

You may have your vehicle repaired at a repair facility of your choice in the United States or Canada.

When you bring your vehicle in for service or repairs, provide your contract number and our phone number to the service writer. This will notify them of your coverage. From there the service department will be able to begin the claims process if needed. Please make sure authorization is received from the administrator prior to teardown or repair.

Seals & Gaskets coverage is included at no extra cost on all plans (excluding powertrain only coverage).
What is GAP coverage and do you offer it?
GAP is a unique coverage program that protects you from financial disaster in case your vehicle is stolen or totaled. Here’s why: as your vehicle gets older, the actual cash value (ACV) declines, while your lease or loan balance may remain higher than what the insurance company will pay you. You are then liable for the difference between what the insurance company pays you and what you owe.
Many people do not realize that they are responsible for the balance owed on the vehicle. GAP covers the difference between your loan or lease balance and your insurance settlement.
Please contact us directly to find a dealer near you who offers our GAP protection.
