An optional agreement that can pay for eligible repairs after a covered component fails. It has its own administrator, term, deductible and exclusions, and it is separate from the manufacturer's warranty.

A manufacturer warranty comes with the vehicle from the automaker and covers defects for a set time and mileage. A service contract is purchased separately and covers what its own contract lists, after its own start date.

It covers mechanical breakdown except the items the contract specifically excludes. It is the broadest structure, but every exclusion and limit still applies.
