Vehicle Protection Plans at Don Johnson Auto Group

A vehicle service contract, otherwise known as a vehicle protection program, or vehicle protection plan, is designed to pay for parts and labor of a covered mechanical breakdown occurring after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. As the amount of high-tech components and parts has increased in Hayward vehicles,  the opportunity for difficult and expensive repairs has also increased. The terms of a vehicle service contract can be customized to match our guest’s driving habits as well as the anticipated length of ownership. Many of our guests select a vehicle service contract based on the following:

• To avoid disruptions to personal budget when an unexpected repair occurs
• To finance the investment of the contract in the monthly payment for even more budget control
• To maintain peace of mind
• 24/7 roadside assistance that includes towing to keep you on the road even when you are miles from home
• Nationwide coverage for a covered mechanical breakdown when performed by ASE-certified technicians

What is Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)?

What is GAP protection? Guaranteed asset protection, or “GAP” coverage for short, helps you in the event your vehicle is declared a total loss. In this case, your primary insurance carrier covers the value of the vehicle less your deductible, leaving you to pay the remaining balance on the loan or lease. GAP may waive the difference between the primary insurance settlement and outstanding balance on the vehicle as of the date of loss. Without GAP protection you could be faced with the burden of paying off your loan on a vehicle you are no longer able to drive. GAP coverage is only available at the time a vehicle is purchased and is available for both new and used vehicles with loans up to 84 months.
