Many people have been laid off or had their hours reduced due to the spread of COVID-19. With quarantines being extended, some have no idea when they’ll be able to return to work. The future for many is very uncertain, and it’s difficult to know what the best financial decisions are at this point. If you’ve purchased a vehicle service contract, and are struggling financially, we can help. We want to do our best to keep our customers’ plans active so you’re not stuck with a large repair bill.

Why Protecting your Vehicle Matters

Protecting your vehicle is important. You use your vehicle to get to work and to pick up essential items for your family. When there isn’t a pandemic, it’s likely you use it even more. For many, their car is an essential part of their livelihood. We understand that and think it’s wise to invest in protecting your vehicle for a variety of reasons including:

1. Not driving your car can create issues. The biggest misconception drivers have is that the less they drive, the less issues can happen but the complete opposite is true. When you don’t drive your car for a while, this can actually cause damage to several major parts like the battery, alternator, and other essential components like your tires. If you’re planning on not driving for a while, then an extended warranty is especially essential during this time. 
2. Forgoing coverage puts you at risk. You purchased your extended warranty for peace of mind, and we totally understand that need. The last thing you want is to be stuck with a $3,000 car repair bill when money is tight already. Even in a normal economy, car repair bills can strike a huge financial blow. It may be even harder to recover from the blow if funds are already low to limited work opportunities amid COVID-19.
3. Breakdowns are costly. If your car is essential for your work, and you’re out of work, it could cost a lot to get you back on the road once you’re able to return. For critical industries like healthcare and law enforcement, a breakdown now might mean they’re unable to get to work at this crucial time.
4. You will re-enter the waiting period. If you already have a vehicle service contract and decide to cancel, you will have to wait the entire waiting period again if you decide to resume coverage later. That’s a minimum of 30 days where your vehicle is unprotected. It’s best to keep your plan active if possible.
