Why Haven't Mechanics Told Drivers This?

Closely inspect your vehicle before your next repair bill.

Because millions of US drivers are stuck paying full price for repairs, it's no surprise this service is being used by thousands. In February, many drivers used this to potentially claim extreme savings on covered repairs.

After much research, here's what we found. Following these steps may save you hundreds of dollars. In fact, the average driver saves up to $360/year.

First, there's a little known rule to getting covered repairs at a fraction of the cost. Those with vehicles over 60,000 miles often qualify, but most don't know they exist until it's too late.

Here's the secret the repair shops won't tell you—you could get repairs guaranteed and save on covered work. Mechanics won't mention this because by the time you're at their shop, it's already too late. If you sign up for a plan ahead of time, you'll never have to pay so much for a covered repair.

Here's why this makes sense for your car: As vehicles age, certain repairs become unavoidable. Around 60k-100k miles, you may need a timing belt replacement (typically $500-$1,000) or other routine maintenance. While major failures like transmission or engine issues are less common, they can cost $2,000-$4,000+ when they happen. Most manufacturer warranties end at 36k-60k miles—meaning repairs after that come straight out of your pocket.

All of these repairs—and even smaller things like electronics—could cost you very little to fix. Get bumper-to-bumper coverage that even includes 24/7 roadside assistance and rental cars.

Not everyone claims these savings—here's why. Many drivers assume their car is "too old" or "has too many miles" to qualify. But that's exactly when coverage matters most. Waiting until something breaks means paying full price.

What's the next step for smart drivers? Compare multiple plans to find the best coverage for your vehicle. Even if you looked into this before, rates and coverage options change frequently. Each plan comes with a 30 day money back guarantee too.
