Vehicle Service Contract

Enjoy a more worry-free ownership experience

If you want to protect yourself against the high cost of vehicle repairs, a Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) can be a great option. A vehicle service contract is an all-risk mechanical breakdown plan that pays to repair or replace nearly every component in your vehicle.

This comparison shows different coverage levels across the Powertrain, Standard, and Comprehensive Plans.

†† The repair parts prices set out above are average part prices for fifteen common passenger vehicles on the road today. The labor charges are an average of associated repair rates and times for the repairs on the same fifteen vehicle models obtained from nationally and recognized labor and repair time manuals, plus a 10% inflationary adjustment.

A vehicle service contract extends coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty period and often pays for repairs not covered by your manufacturer’s warranty, as well as covers the cost of alternate transportation while yours is being repaired.
