2-Year Unlimited Kilometre Extended Vehicle Warranty
Modern vehicles are more advanced than ever. Electronics, turbochargers, automatic gearboxes, sensors, and control units improve performance — but when they fail, repair costs can be significant.
If your manufacturer warranty is ending or has already expired, an Extended Vehicle Warranty is the smartest way to protect yourself from unexpected mechanical breakdown costs.
Our 2-Year / Unlimited Kilometre Mechanical Breakdown Warranty provides long-term protection, nationwide support, and financial peace of mind — without paying dealer repair prices out of pocket.
What Is an Extended Vehicle Warranty (and How It Differs from a Service Plan)?
An Extended Vehicle Warranty, also known as a Mechanical Breakdown Warranty, is not a service plan.
Unlike an Extended Service Plan, which covers routine maintenance and scheduled servicing, this warranty protects you against the unexpected failure of major mechanical and electronic components.
This warranty is designed to:
- Cover sudden mechanical breakdowns
- Protect against high-cost repair risks
- Keep you mobile and financially secure
- Extend protection beyond your manufacturer warranty
It is ideal for vehicles that are out of factory warranty but still worth protecting.
What Does “Mechanical Breakdown” Mean in a Vehicle Warranty?
Mechanical breakdown refers to the sudden and unforeseen physical failure of a covered component — not wear and tear or routine maintenance.
For clarity, a mechanical breakdown includes components that have:
- Physically cracked
- Split
- Broken
- Separated into pieces
If a listed component fails mechanically, the policy contributes toward approved repair or replacement, subject to your benefit level.
