Vehicle Service Contracts
As the purchase prices of automobiles continue to increase annually, so do the cost of repairs. New technology is one of the main contributors to increasing costs. A vehicle service contract (VSC) protects you from covered repair costs due to a mechanical breakdown after your vehicle's warranty expires, including new technology components. We offer variable options to provide you the right level of protection, based on the mileage you drive and how long you plan to keep your vehicle. In addition to everything that is covered under our protection plans, each VSC includes the following benefits:

• 24/7/365 Emergency Roadside Assistance
  - Towing
  - Jump start
  - Flat tire
  - Fluid delivery
  - Lockout assistance
  Under this program, you are eligible up to $150 per disablement for a maximum of 3 incidents per 12 month period.
  

• Rental Car
  In the event your tire/wheel repair requires an overnight repair, you are eligible for a $50 per day (4 day max) rental car benefit. This cost will be offered as a reimbursement allowance or "direct bill" through our authorized direct bill rental car companies.
  

• Trip Interruption
  In the event your vehicle is disabled due to a mechanical failure or breakdown occurring more than 100 miles from home, we will reimburse you for unplanned lodging and restaurant expenses up to $150/day for up to 3 days.
  (some state restrictions apply)

Resale Advice from the Experts
A great looking car makes you happy when you own it! The SmartShield? program with its amazing chemistry backed by a great warranty helps make sure that your vehicle is worth more when you sell or trade it in, which makes you even happier!

According to Kelley Blue Book, the country's leading source of used car values, "A top factor in determining a vehicle's worth is the interior and exterior condition." Kelley Blue Book's Executive Editor, Charlie Vogelheim, recommends simple ways to retain and maintain your vehicle's value. "If a consumer puts a little time and care into their vehicle, depending on the make and model, there could be up to a $1,000 difference in the car's value down the road."


The NADA Guidebook states, "Two different vehicles of the same model may have drastically varying prices depending on options, mileage, and overall condition." To maximize resale value, make sure the exterior, interior, and mechanics of your vehicle are in excellent condition." Original pain and color that is not faded is also an exterior factor that should be taken into consideration. The vehicle's interior should be void of any smoke/water damage, stains, or other physical damage to interior materials. Keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape will equate a vehicle's higher resale value.
