Eligibility Requirement for MajorCare

MajorCare is offered on most vehicles that are no more than 7 model years old and with up to 100,000 miles on the odometer. Vehicles out of factory warranty qualify once they pass an inspection and a 30 day and 1,000 mile exclusionary period. The inspection process is designed to protect you from having a claim denied due to a pre-existing condition. The inspection process is simple and hassle free. We have contracted with a national inspection company and negotiated a special rate for you. We also handle all the paperwork. Contact us with some basic information and we will arrange to have a mobile inspector come to your home, place of business or any location that is convenient for you.




Why not lock into today's lower rates and protect yourself from tomorrow's rising repair rates?

A common misconception is that by waiting to purchase extended warranty coverage, you will get coverage for a longer time. Much like life insurance costs rise as we age, the cost for an extended automobile warranty will rise as the vehicle ages and accrues mileage. You will be offered the longest terms and the lowest rates for newer vehicles with lower mileage. We understand that you may have a warranty from the manufacturer. Our coverage is simply an extension of that, not double coverage. The manufacturer’s warranty has been factored into your price quote. The more factory warranty you have remaining, the lower the cost and greater the length of the warranty extension. In other words, you are paying for tomorrow’s coverage at today’s rates. In addition, our Roadside Assistance benefit may prove to be invaluable during the Manufacturer’s Warranty period.

It’s no surprise that most major repairs happen after the factory warranty expires. All of our extended vehicle warranties cover you for mechanical breakdowns as well as wear-and-tear failures. Seals and gaskets are covered as is damage due to overheating. You may choose any dealer or repair facility of YOUR choice. Claims are paid directly to your repair facility via our corporate credit card. There are no billing hassles or waiting to be reimbursed. All plans include FREE membership in a nationwide roadside assistance plan with towing covered up to $100 per occurrence.

FACT: The newer your vehicle, the lower the rates for extended warranty coverage.

The chart below illustrates how this works. Rates are based on a typical American sedan driven 14,000 miles per year.

*Plus any incremental rate increases.

Waiting may also carry other risks. Coverage costs rise as parts and labor costs rise. Labor rates have been steadily rising over the past few years. It is not uncommon for a repair facility to charge $100 or more per labor hour. As more repair data becomes available for your vehicle, its costs may also rise. These factors can cause the rates for your vehicle to rise should you elect to purchase coverage later.

" The claims process was so easy. I didn't have to fill out any paperwork, I was not hassled, I didn't have to speak to the claims department. I was really stressed about finding out something was wrong with my car, but Warranty Direct took care of everything and the whole process was painless. It's comforting knowing my hard earned money that I've paid to Warranty Direct was used appropriately." — T. Smithers, TX
