Mechanical Breakdown Coverage

Breakdowns happen. Financial stress is optional.

Breakdown Insurance is Usually Less Than a Vehicle Warranty


Your vehicle is your transportation lifeline. Extend its life and protect your budget by selecting mechanical breakdown insurance.

Give yourself peace of mind

You’re covered for expensive repairs during the full life of your loan.

This coverage package continues to protect your investment post-warranty.  The vast majority of costly mechanical and electrical failures occur after the factory warranty has expired but before the loan is paid off.

Mechanical Breakdown FAQs


 Mechanical breakdown coverage is significantly less expensive than a manufacturer’s extended warranty. However, breakdown coverage does have a deductible and an extended warranty may not require one. Ask questions and read the small print to determine which option is better for your situation.

There are four levels of protection offered. The base level includes the engine, transmission, drive axle, brake system, electrical system and air conditioning. The second level adds the steering and fuel systems.  

Ask your Loan Officer for a brochure showing the coverage levels.

No. Auto insurance only covers damage due to accidents or theft.

This coverage is only for mechanical systems. It doesn’t cover routine maintenance, or non-mechanical repairs such as trim or paint. Important point – it also does not cover major repairs due to poor vehicle maintenance.
