Vehicle protection coverage options:

GAP INSURANCE

What happens if your vehicle is in an accident and damaged to the point where it is considered a total loss? Your auto insurance will cover the actual cash value (ACV) of the vehicle. What if the value of the vehicle is less than what you actually owe the bank? If the vehicle cash value is less than what you owe the bank, then "GAP" insurance covers that gap between actual value and what you owe. This saves you from having to worry about "negative equity" if the vehicle is a total loss and you need to get another vehicle. GAP insurance is especially important to consider if you are currently trading in a vehicle that you owe more money on than it is worth. 

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Protect the paint and interior of your vehicle. Acid rain, tree sap, road salt bird droppings; many things can damage the surfaces of your vehicle. Not only does it look bad, left untreated it can eat through and begin to damage the metal under the paint. Adding a sealant to the exterior of your vehicle can protect against the elements, keeping it looking great and lasting as long as possible. We can even treat the interior of your vehicle to protect it from the food, pets, kids and other dirty stuff you carry around. 

At Handy Buick GMC Cadillac, we use Zurich Shield, an advanced environmental protection. Zurich Shield will help protect your vehicle and keep it looking as good as the day you bought it. Preserve the interior of your vehicle with Zurich Shield to reduce the signs of aging and life's messy accidents. Learn More.

TIRE and WHEEL COVERAGE

Typically the manufacturer will not cover damage to your tires and wheels caused by pot holes, nails or broken glass. It is not their fault you drove into a pot hole after all. Tire damage happens though, whether it is covered by the manufacturer or not. Most of us cannot help but drive on roads that typically have tire hazards. Tire and wheel coverage can help you get those tires and wheels replaced so you can be sure you're safe. You do need wheels and tires if you want to roll down the road after all. Protect yourself so you can replace those tires and not risk more vehicle damage.

PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR

Door dings happen. A shopping cart, a baseball from a little league game or an inconsiderate parking lot neighbor can all leave you with damage to your vehicle. Paintless dent repair coverage does not cover collision damage, sharp creases, dents greater than four inches in diameter, hail damage, surfaces where the paint has been damaged, dents and dings on the roof panel with vehicles that have a sunroof or moonroof. Tt can provide coverage for dents and dings less than four inches in diameter, on metal panels where the paint has not been broken. You know, all the little annoying dings that you would get taken care of but it would cost more than it would be worth to make them right. Keep your vehicle looking great, free of those annoying door dings.

KEY REPLACEMENT

Help minimize the stress, inconvenience and expense of lost vehicle keys. This coverage will even cover other keys on your key ring if they were all lost at the same time as your covered car key. Regardless of the situation, even while stuck on the side of the road in an emergency, you can get a new key and start driving again. There are some limits to coverage but having the peace of mind, knowing that a missing key situation, does not mean you are stuck.

END OF LEASE COVERAGE

Lots of people get nervous about leasing because of handing the vehicle back in at the end. What if there are too many door dings? What about the molding that is detaching around the door? Not knowing what they might charge you for at the end of the lease can cause real anxiety. We can help you alleviate your uneasiness by adding end of lease coverage. It will keep the little things from adding up, allowing you enjoy your leased vehicle throughout the entire process. 

VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT

Once a vehicle is outside of the original manufacturers warranty, a breakdown will cost you money. Unfortunately breakdowns happen when you least expect it. Thousands of parts, moving together counting on other parts doing their job. Only one of them needs to fail for the whole system to be affected. An extended warranty covers you from the chaos getting out of hand. Depending on the miles you drive and the length of time you plan to own or lease your vehicle, we can set coverage to best fit your needs.
