Applications are available by calling 1-800-222-7623, ext. 6861.

Vehicle Mechanical Breakdown Repair Coverage

As vehicles age, the risk and associated cost of repairs increases. For added protection, consider purchasing mechanical breakdown repair coverage. AAA has a number of plans to fit your needs. Each plan pays for the cost of parts and labor for any covered repair. Pay just the deductible you select ($0, $50, or $100) and drive away. Vehicle Security Care is good at any licensed repair facility in the U.S. or Canada. It is transferable if you sell your vehicle to a private party and is cancelable at any time on a prorated basis. The repairer is paid directly by the plan. Choose coverage and terms (months and miles) that match your vehicle and driving habits. Repair coverage plans should be read carefully so as to understand the limitations of coverage and plan specifics. To learn more, visit AAA's web site. To purchase Vehicle Security Care, contact your branch office or call 1-800-222-7623, ext. 6820. Vehicle Security Care is issued and administered by The Warranty Group.
