Repairs can be costly and
unexpected. Most people don't realize how much a mechanical
breakdown could cost them.
The costs of repairs tend to increase each year, but with a
vehicle protection plan you are protecting yourself from
unexpected repair costs that may result in significant
out-of-pocket expense. The future cost of even one
unexpected repair may easily exceed the cost of buying a
Guardian Warranty Corporation (GWC) Vehicle Protection Plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the plan save me money?
A: With today’s advanced technology, repair costs have
increased and will continue to do so. The costs of even one
repair may easily exceed the cost of buying a GWC protection
plan. No one can predict the future, but you will be
protected from covered repair costs caused by unexpected
mechanical breakdowns.
Q: Do I really need a service contract?
A: 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.
Q: Is the plan transferable if I decide to sell my
vehicle before the coverage ends?
A: Absolutely. Unlike many other plans, you can transfer
your coverage to the next owner. This will help you get the
highest possible resale value, because the next owner will
know that they are protected from unexpected high repair
costs.
Q: When does my coverage start?
A: For used vehicles, coverage begins day one / mile one,
meaning you are fully protected against covered repair costs
the day you take possession of your vehicle. For new
vehicles, coverage begins the day the existing
manufacturer’s warranty expires and is an extension of that
coverage — not double coverage.
Q: Where can I take my vehicle for repairs?
A: Repairs can be made at the repair facility of your
choice. We’ll even help you locate a preferred provider if
you have a breakdown while travelling. Your plan grants you
access to thousands of repair facilities throughout the U.S.
and Canada.
Q: How do I file a claim for a covered repair?
A: Just take your vehicle to a licensed repair facility or
utilize your plan’s towing benefit. Instruct the repair shop
to contact us and we’ll authorize and pay for the covered
repair directly.
Q: When do I have to buy?
A: For used vehicles, you must purchase the plan the same
day you purchase your vehicle. For new vehicles, you have
until the manufacturer’s basic warranty expires. However,
it’s always less expensive to buy a plan when you have fewer
miles on your vehicle. The price for protection increases as
your vehicle ages and accrues mileage, and as parts and
labor prices increase. As a result, it’s recommended that
you purchase the protection with your vehicle so that you
can lock-in your coverage costs now. This valuable
protection can even be included in your monthly loan
payment.
Q: Can I purchase a contract directly from you?
A: GWC distributes vehicle protection plans exclusively
through authorized dealerships throughout the United States.
We do not sell directly to the public.
Q: How do I know if my contract is active?
A: Once we have received and accepted your contract
application and payment from your dealer, we will issue and
mail you an ID card. You’ll want to keep this card with you
in case you have problems while on the road. |
