Where can I go for repairs that are covered by my vehicle service contract?
Unlike most extended warranties, Endurance auto protection plans are honored at any ASE licensed or certified repair facility anywhere in the nation. These facilities include dealerships, chain shops, or your local repair shop.
Even if you are away from home, your vehicle will still be covered when you need repairs. To connect customers with certified mechanics at shops nationwide, we have partnered with RepairPal, the largest auto repair certification provider. To find a local shop near you, visit our partner page.

I’ve found lower prices on the internet. Why should I buy coverage from you?
Consider both price and quality when shopping for an auto warranty or vehicle service contract. Look for a company that offers competitive rates, but do not be fooled by providers whose prices are far below the market standard. Such companies may rely on Risk Retention Groups as underwriters rather than insurance companies with a much longer history of paying claims and must adhere to strict government standards designed to protect consumers.
If the price is too low, it may signal that the company has not set enough money aside to guarantee that your claim gets paid when you need it. Select an auto protection plan provider with a strong reputation and long history. Since 2006, Endurance has offered drivers a trusted source for their vehicle protection needs – backed up by real customers, recommended by auto experts, and highly ranked on leading consumer review websites like Consumer Affairs, ConsumersAdvocate, Cars.com, Google, and Trustpilot.

All you need to do is give your location and condition of your vehicle to the provider, and help will be on the way.
