| More than 1/3 of all vehicles experience one or more failures in a given year. In fact, the average vehicle service contract holder will make 4-5 claims over the life of their contract. Hourly labor rates currently average over $80 nationwide. With the complexity of today’s vehicles combined with today’s labor rates, one repair can often cost more than the Vehicle Service Contract itself. Additionally, the risk of component failure and associated repair costs increases with your vehicle’s age and mileage. Often owners put off needed repairs until they can afford the cost of the repair – often resulting in additional damage to the vehicle, additional repair costs, and unsafe driving conditions. |
