Too Afraid to Ask

A service contract is like a subscription that pays for oil changes, tire rotations, and other maintenance so you don’t have to pay out of pocket later.

Technical Definition

Service contracts are agreements that cover routine maintenance and repairs for a vehicle over a specified period, often sold as an add-on to the purchase or service experience.
