Extended Warranty Coverage
Added protection beyond the factory warranty.
Unexpected repairs can happen at any time. Extended warranty plans are available for both members and non-members, helping reduce the financial impact of covered mechanical repairs after the manufacturer's warranty ends.
GAP Coverage
Help close the gap when it matters most.
If your vehicle is declared a total loss or stolen, GAP coverage can help pay the difference between your remaining loan balance and your insurance settlement, reducing out-of-pocket expenses during a difficult situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) coverage helps protect you if your vehicle is declared a total loss or stolen. In some situations, your insurance settlement may be less than the amount you still owe on your loan. GAP coverage can help pay the difference, reducing your out-of-pocket expense.
-
GAP coverage may be worth considering if you financed most of your vehicle purchase, made a small down payment, or chose a longer loan term. New vehicles can depreciate quickly, which can create a gap between the vehicle's value and your loan balance.
-
An extended warranty, sometimes called a vehicle service contract, helps cover certain repair costs after the manufacturer's warranty expires. Coverage options vary, but many plans can help protect against unexpected mechanical breakdowns and costly repairs.
-
For many drivers, an extended warranty provides added peace of mind and more predictable ownership costs. It can be especially beneficial if you plan to keep your vehicle for several years beyond the factory warranty period.
