As a vehicle owner, you know how important it is to keep your used car running smoothly for as long as possible. The best way to save money and avoid unnecessary expenses is to stay on top of routine maintenance and auto repairs and get the most longevity out of a vehicle as possible. The more miles you can put on the odometer, the more value you are getting out of a car. As high-mileage vehicles age, though, they become more and more susceptible to mechanical failures that may require expensive repairs.
If you have owned the same vehicle for a long time, the odds that you will be faced with a big car repair insurance claim are fairly high. That is why it is so important to have a vehicle protection plan in place. Mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI) for California drivers, similar to an extended auto warranty, covers your car like traditional auto insurance does but is designed to help you pay for covered repairs due to age or simple failures instead of accidents.
Knowing how mechanical breakdown insurance coverage can keep your high-mileage vehicle in good condition will help you make the right choice for your car and your bank account.
When you buy a new car, you most likely don’t worry much about things like breakdowns or expensive repairs. The fewer miles your vehicle has on the odometer, the less likely it will be to have issues. As the car ages, though, the wear and deterioration that occurs when you put miles on the odometer will start to become more apparent. This can turn into issues with the powertrain components like the engine, drivetrain, and drive axle, all of which are incredibly expensive to repair or replace.
While a new car will come with a factory warranty provided by the manufacturer, it will usually only be valid for somewhere between three years or 36,000 miles and five years or 60,000 miles. Once this warranty is up, you will be financially responsible for any repairs that need to be done on the vehicle. The older the car gets, the more costly repairs tend to be, so having a mechanical breakdown insurance policy that can help you pay upfront for these expensive issues can give you the peace of mind you need.
Some vehicle repairs are less expensive than others and won’t be much of a financial burden if they come up. This is especially true with newer, lower-mileage vehicles, which may have small issues here and there, but the costly components are generally more sound and reliable. However, the more miles you put on the odometer, the more worn those expensive components will become, and you may find yourself faced with an astronomical repair shop bill that might even end up costing more than the car is worth.
With MBI coverage, you can get protection for the most expensive components of your high-mileage vehicle. This way, if you experience a failure or malfunction with something like your engine or transmission, you can get help paying for it so you don’t end up having to foot the bill. According to RepairPal, a transmission replacement can cost anywhere between $5,584 and $5,789, so planning ahead and having a protection plan in place will help you be ready if your older car needs a major repair.
The best way to keep your vehicle running smoothly for a long time, even if it has a lot of miles on the odometer, is to stay on top of routine maintenance and minor car repairs. Car troubles tend to have a domino effect. When one thing, like the electrical system, has issues, the likelihood of another popping up is much higher. This is why it is so important to get car issues repaired as soon as they occur. While it may be tempting to ignore a problem if it isn’t immediately problematic for the vehicle, doing so could cause serious malfunctions that can end up being incredibly expensive.
While every vehicle owner knows that getting repairs done right away is the responsible thing to do, it isn’t always financially feasible. Not everyone has an emergency fund in place to take care of expensive car repairs as soon as possible. Having mechanical breakdown coverage allows you to make the small repairs necessary to prevent the large ones that can follow and keep your repair costs down. With the right protection plan, you can keep your high-mileage vehicle running for a long time and avoid costly and stressful breakdowns.
One of the main reasons why drivers love having new vehicles is the fact that they know they won’t have to worry about breaking down or dealing with car troubles on the road. While saving money is important, having confidence that your vehicle will get you where you are going without any issues is priceless. Car problems have a tendency to happen at the most inopportune times, and the last thing you want to deal with is a breakdown on your way to work or wondering if your high-mileage vehicle is going to start when you turn the key in the ignition.
With a mechanical breakdown insurance plan, you can take all the worry out of owning a high-mileage car. With the ability to get repairs done as soon as they come up at a repair facility or dealership you trust, you can rest easy knowing that your bank account is protected and that your car will get you where you need to go. If you are looking to reduce stress and feel comfortable behind the wheel, having the right protection plan can go a long way.
