Do Warranties Sold At Auto Protection Offer Wear & Tear?
Some of our plans offer Wear & Tear. Have a representative explain if Wear and Tear is offered as an option!

Do I Need Wear & Tear?
In short, no, it's not necessary...although if available on the plan, it's included at no cost. In an ideal world, the wear and tear clause would cover items that actually wear on the vehicle. For the most part, the items that wear are not typically covered. Keep in mind that no mechanical breakdown coverage plan will cover wear items..

What Does The Wear & Tear Coverage Option Cover?
Wear & Tear Coverage refers to a covered component that is worn beyond the auto manufacturer's recommended tolerances. In other words, the covered part does not need to break in order to qualify as a covered repair. Instead, if it wears out prematurely, it's covered! There are some components in your vehicle such as: Idler Arm, Piston Rings, U Joints, CV joints, Wheel Bearings, Motor Mounts, Suspension Bushings, Tie Rod Ends and several engine parts that gradually wear down. This may or may not cause an actual breakdown of your vehicle, in which case, it would not be covered under a mechanical breakdown warranty until it fails.
