Extended warranty solutions

It can be challenging to find the right coverage from new cars and used cars to industry language and what to look for in coverage. SOS Auto Protect works to inform our potential customers and avoid any pushy sales tactics so they can find what coverage is right for them. That’s why we have created, and will continue to create, in-depth resources like our buyer’s guide, with all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Top Question About Coverage Plans

Start with your car, not the plans.
How old is it? How many miles are on it? Are you planning to keep it for another year or another five? Those answers usually narrow things down pretty quickly. If you're still unsure, give us a call. We'd rather spend a few minutes helping you choose than have you end up with a plan that isn't right for your vehicle.

Not at all.
Some people assume the highest level of coverage is only meant for expensive vehicles, but that's not really the case. Plenty of everyday drivers choose it because they want broader protection. It has more to do with how long you plan to keep your vehicle than the badge on the hood.

Maybe not.
If your car mostly sits in the garage and only comes out on weekends, your needs may be different from someone who spends two hours a day commuting. That's why there isn't just one plan. You can choose the level of protection that actually matches the way you use your vehicle.

Because cars aren't all the same.
A five-year-old SUV with 40,000 miles has different needs than a ten-year-old sedan with well over 100,000 miles. Offering one plan for every vehicle wouldn't make much sense. Having options lets you choose what feels right instead of paying for coverage you may never use.

We actually encourage it.
Compare the coverage, not just the monthly price. See what's included, ask questions, and make sure you're comfortable before making a decision. Buying a protection plan isn't something most people do every year, so it's worth taking your time.

They look at the price first.
That's understandable, but it's not always the best approach. A slightly lower payment doesn't help much if the plan doesn't cover the repairs you're most worried about. Looking at the coverage first usually leads to a better decision.

That's one reason we encourage people to ask questions before signing up.
It's much easier to sort things out beforehand than after you've already selected your coverage. If something isn't clear, we'd rather explain it than rush you into a decision.

Honestly, no.
Most people couldn't point to a differential or explain what a transaxle does, and that's perfectly normal. The comparison chart is there for transparency, but if you're unsure about anything, just ask. We'll explain it without all the technical jargon.

Not necessarily.
The best plan isn't always the biggest one. It's the one that makes sense for your vehicle and your budget. Some drivers genuinely need broader protection, while others are perfectly happy covering the major systems and leaving it at that.

Of course.
Getting a quote is simply part of the process. It gives you a better idea of what's available for your vehicle, and there's no pressure to make a decision on the spot. Sometimes people compare a few options before choosing, and that's completely normal.

Sometimes it comes down to balance.
They want more than basic protection but don't feel they need the widest level of coverage available. For a lot of drivers, Premium offers that middle ground, which is why it's such a popular choice.

Yes, that's usually when people start shopping around.
It's easier to compare plans while everything is still running smoothly than after a warning light suddenly appears on the dashboard. Waiting until something goes wrong can leave you with fewer choices.

We'll help.
That's what we're here for. You don't have to compare every line in the chart on your own. Tell us about your vehicle, and we'll explain the differences in plain English so you can decide what feels right.

Because nobody wants surprises later.
It's one thing to assume something is covered. It's another to know for sure before you buy. Spending a little extra time comparing plans now can save a lot of frustration down the road.

Don't rush it.
A protection plan should fit your vehicle, not just your budget. Ask questions, compare what's covered, and choose the option that gives you confidence every time you turn the key. That's usually a much better approach than picking the first plan you see.
