Mechanical Repair Coverage

  • Overview

    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. 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.

    Ask about deductible options!

    The miles can add up but the repair costs don’t have to.

    • No loan on automobile required to purchase coverage
    • 24-hour emergency roadside assistance
    • Travel expense & rental reimbursement
    • Transferable and cancel-able
    • See all program details below
