What you need to know about car warranty

Getting a new – or ‘new to you’ – car is super exciting, but once the novelty wears off and the paperwork’s forgotten, remembering what you signed up for can become a blur.

Manufacturer Warranty

All new cars come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which is a promise from the manufacturer that the car is of good quality and the parts won’t fail. However, as the car gets older, parts get weaker and present a higher risk of breaking or failure, so manufacturers limit the time or kilometres that their warranty is valid.

Extended Car Warranty with dotsure.co.za

Once the limits on your manufacturer warranty are exceeded, the components are no longer covered. At this point, you can extend your warranty through dotsure.co.za. We offer various tiers to suit your specific needs and budget, even covering cars up to 15 years old and with up to 300,000km on the clock.

Service Plans & Maintenance Plans

A service plan pays the full cost of a scheduled motor service which maintains elements that are guaranteed to wear down during normal use. A maintenance plan covers everything a service plan covers but is more comprehensive (and therefore more expensive).

ServiceXtender with dotsure.co.za

An optional benefit that can be added to your policy at a small fee. This covers a contribution towards your car’s annual service.
