MEMBER’S CHOICE® Mechanical Repair Coverage

MEMBER’S CHOICE® Mechanical Repair Coverage can help deflect some risk of costly future, covered repairs keeping your vehicle running extra miles and extra years.

As vehicle owners, there is standard wear and tear repair work we should have done to maintain and prolong the life of our cars. But what happens if something major goes wrong, like the transmission, engine, or electrical system? A standard auto insurance policy doesn’t cover the cost of repairs. Having Mechanical Repair Coverage could help deflect some risk of costly repairs, by helping to cover the expense. Like an insurance policy, there are different coverage levels and deductibles to choose from, making it easier to fit into your budget. Some other benefits typically included in this coverage are rental reimbursements, and emergency roadside assistance, plus it’s transferable if you sell your vehicle privately. Before deciding, consider all options. Does your car already come with a warranty? If not, could you afford to pay out-of-pocket if your car has a major mechanical defect?

With different coverage levels and deductibles to choose, there’s a plan to fit your family’s budget.

Whether you depend on your vehicle for work or getting your family to school and activities, you need transportation that’s safe and reliable. The older your vehicle, the more it takes to keep it in good working order. Not making small repairs can lead to even more expensive repairs and ignoring other repairs can be dangerous.
