An extended service contract, also known as a vehicle service contract or extended warranty, covers mechanical breakdowns and repairs after your manufacturer's warranty expires. Coverage varies by plan level, ranging from basic powertrain protection (engine, transmission, drive axle) to comprehensive exclusionary coverage that protects nearly all mechanical and electrical components. Our contracts can include coverage for air conditioning, electrical systems, steering, suspension, fuel systems, and more. We offer customizable terms from short-term powertrain contracts for high-mileage vehicles to 72-month exclusionary wraps for newer models, ensuring you get the specific protection your vehicle needs without paying for coverage you don't.
Our vehicle protection experts are ready to help you find the perfect service contract for your needs.
