With today’s advanced technology, vehicle repairs can be costly and unexpected. The costs of even one repair may easily exceed the cost of buying a GWC protection plan. No one can predict the future, but with a vehicle service contract, you’ll be protected from covered repair costs caused by unexpected mechanical breakdowns.

As a vehicle ages and accrues mileage, the chances of having a mechanical failure increase. Your GWC protection plan will be there when you need it most — once the manufacturer’s basic warranty is no longer there to protect you.

Yes, unlike many other plans, you can transfer your coverage to the next owner. This may help you get a higher resale value because the next owner will know that they are protected from unexpected repair costs. Learn how to transfer a contract or contact us for more information.

For used vehicles, coverage begins Day One, Mile One, meaning you are fully protected against covered repair costs the day you purchase your vehicle. For new vehicles, coverage begins on the contract sale date. With the warranty remaining option, the contract begins upon expiration of the manufacturer’s basic factory warranty.

Repairs can be made at any ASE-licensed and reputable service facility. We’ll even help you locate a preferred provider if you have a breakdown while traveling.

Take your vehicle to the repair facility of your choice or utilize your plan’s towing benefit. Instruct the facility to contact us and we’ll authorize and pay for the covered repair directly. You only pay your deductible and any costs not directly covered by your plan. Find more detailed steps for filing a claim here.

For vehicles no longer covered under the basic factory warranty, you must purchase the plan the same day you purchase the vehicle. For vehicles that still have factory coverage, you have until that warranty runs out. However, it is always less expensive to buy a plan when you have fewer miles on the car.

Once we have received and accepted your contract application and payment from your dealer, we will issue and mail you an ID card within six to eight weeks. You’ll want to keep this card with you in case you have problems while on the road. You may also look up your coverage online at any time.
