Premier Credit Union offers Mechanical Repair Coverage (MRC) which helps pay
for covered repairs on your car when that unexpected breakdown occurs. For a few
dollars per month, you can protect your vehicle and your finances from expenses
that could total hundreds or even thousands for dollars.
Purchasing Mechanical Repair Coverage for a vehicle that is still covered by
the manufacturer’s warranty provides you with the most convenient, cost-effective
way to endure uninterrupted protection and peace of mind if you own the vehicle
after the manufacturer’s warranty expires.
On the date of purchase, the MRC plan starts protecting you immediately from
the cost and inconvenience of covered breakdowns with the plan’s 24-hour
roadside assistance, towing, emergency travel expense and rental reimbursement.
The coverage complements your manufacturer’s warranty because the roadside
assistance travel expense reimbursement can be used immediately, even if your
vehicle breaks down during the manufacturer’s warranty period. Later on
down the road your protection continues on after your manufacturer’s
warranty expires.
If you’re purchasing coverage for an eligible used vehicle that is no
longer covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, you’ll have peace of
mind in knowing that you’re protected from much of the costs and inconvenience of
covered breakdowns.
- Rental reimbursement up to $30 per day for up to 5 days if your car is kept
out of service overnight for a covered breakdown.
- 24-hour, toll-free roadside assistance, which covers towing, jumpstarts,
flat tire changing, fuel, oil or other fluid delivery and entry when keys are
locked in your car.
- Emergency travel expense up to $500 for lodging, meals and transportation
if a covered breakdown occurs more than 100 miles from home.
- Good at authorized automobile dealers or repair facilities in the U.S. and
Canada.
- Transferable if you sell your vehicle to a private party.
- Cancelable at any time on a pro-rata basis.
- Convenient, with toll-free customer service and communications.
- Hassle-free, because the repair facility is paid directly by the plan.
- Flexible, since you can choose the coverage and terms (months and miles)
that match your vehicle and your driving habits.
Because there could be a
big difference between what your insurance will pay and what you owe on your
loan in the event of a total loss.
Most cars depreciate by thousands of dollars as soon as they are purchased.
Unfortunately, if your vehicle is stolen, accidentally damaged beyond repair
or otherwise declared as a total loss, you are still liable to pay the difference,
or the “gap”, between your insurer’s settlement and your loan
balance. That gap will come out of your pocket for a vehicle that, for all practical
purposes, no longer exists.
MEMBER’S CHOICE™ Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) could save
you thousands of dollars.
GAP is low-cost coverage that pays the potentially high-cost difference between
your insurance settlement and your loan balance on items directly related to
the purchase of your vehicle.
You can sign up for GAP when you apply for your vehicle loan. There’s no
underwriting, no red tape, no hassles. You may also roll the cost of GAP right
into your Premier Credit Union auto loan.
GAP is fully refundable if you cancel the coverage within the first 90 days.
