Here are answers to common questions about service contracts:

What is a Service Contract? Is it the same thing as a warranty?
Basically, a service contract is a promise to perform, or pay for, certain repairs or services. A service contract is not a warranty. A warranty takes effect at the time of vehicle purchase and is included with the vehicle at no extra cost. A service contract does involve extra cost for extra levels of service - and extra peace of mind.

My vehicle already has a warranty from the manufacturer. Why should I have a service contract?
A Chrysler Service Contract extends mechanical repair coverage beyond the time or mileage period at which your warranty expires, offers you greater depth of coverage for certain kinds of services or repairs and offers you more varied and more extensive coverage - such as Roadside Assistance or Trip Interruption.

Chrysler Service Contracts Eligibility

For New Vehicle Plans
All Chrysler Service Contracts New Vehicle plans that provide mechanical coverage can be purchased within 48-months and 48,000-miles from the original warranty start date (that is, the date that you or the vehicle's original owner actually took delivery of the new vehicle). If you buy a New Vehicle Chrysler Service Contract after one, two or three years of vehicle purchase, a surcharge may be applied to the total cost. Check with your Chrysler Service Contracts Dealer for complete details about your eligibility and surcharges, if any, that apply. However, Convenience & Maintenance Plans for new vehicles need to be purchased at the time you buy the new vehicle.

For Pre-Owned Vehicles
All Pre-Owned Chrysler Service Contracts Pre-Owned plans can be purchased through a Chrysler Dodge or Jeep dealer at the time you buy your Pre-Owned Vehicle or within the Chrysler Service Contract 3-month/3,000-mile Powertrain or Added Limited Warranty period.

When does my coverage begin and end?

For New Vehicle Plans
On all New Vehicle Chrysler Service Contracts, your coverage starts at the original warranty start date of the vehicle and at zero miles (the date that the new vehicle was delivered to you or the original owner of the vehicle), not upon expiration of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Expiration of your New Vehicle Chrysler Service Contract is based on a time and mileage factor. Actual expiration of the plan will take place when you reach either the time or mileage limit specified in your Plan Provisions.

For example, your vehicle's warranty start date is July 1, 2007 and you currently have 5,000 miles on your vehicle. You purchase a 5-year/60,000-mile Maximum Care plan on March 1, 2008. Your plan would be in effect starting on March 1, 2008 and will expire on March 1, 2013 or when your vehicle has a total of 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

For Pre-Owned Vehicles
Pre-Owned Vehicle Chrysler Service Contracts start and expiration dates are based solely on the purchase date and duration of the particular plan term you purchase.

For example, if your Pre-Owned Vehicle is four years old with 48,000 miles on it and you purchase a CSC Pre-Owned Plan with coverage for two years and 30,000 miles, you coverage would extend until your vehicle is six years old or it reaches 78,000 miles.

What is my responsibility under the terms of my Chrysler Service Contract?
Your responsibility is to operate, care for and maintain your vehicle properly, just as if your vehicle is operating under warranty. You may wish to check the Owner's Manual supplied by your vehicle's Manufacturer for more detailed information.

To help us solve any potential problems down the road, be sure to keep all receipts you accumulate that have to do with the operation, care and maintenance of your vehicle. This should help clear up any potential confusion as to whether the maintenance services were performed as specified in your Owner's Manual.

Do I have to pay a deductible for repairs covered under my Chrysler Service Contract?
Yes, if the contract you purchased requires a deductible for covered repairs. However, you pay only the plan deductible for covered repairs performed during each repair visit. You may also be responsible for state or local taxes in addition to the deductible amount.

What happens to my Chrysler Service Contract if I sell my vehicle?
If you decide to sell your vehicle, you can do one of two things: (a) transfer the existing Service Contract to the vehicle purchaser; or (b) cancel your Chrysler Service Contract. Chrysler Service Contracts for any vehicle may be transferred only one time.

Do you offer New & Pre-Owned Convenience Packages/Upgrades
Chrysler Service Contracts offers a number of Convenience Packages for both New and Pre-Owned vehicles that can be purchased seperately by themselves to provide you with coverage for car rentals, towing, oil changes, trip interruption and much more. In addition, we offer Convenience Upgrades for New and Pre-Owned vehicles that compliment the coverage provided by other Chrysler Service Contracts New or Pre-Owned Plans you may already own.
