Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about vehicle protection plans.

How do I buy an extended warranty?

We've worked hard to make the process of selecting and buying a warranty as easy as possible. To get started, simply request a free quote or call 902-334-6207. It's a quick and easy process that pays off right away with peace of mind protection.

Do I need an extended warranty?

Your car or truck costs a lot of money. It's a big investment! The longer your vehicle stays in good shape, the more you get back from that money you spent. An extended warranty is like a plan to protect your investment. If a part breaks down, this plan pays for the fix. This keeps your car running well without you having to pay for expensive repairs out of your own pocket.

Just paying for the mechanic's time and effort (called labor) can be really costly. When you think about how expensive both the parts and the mechanic's time can be to fix things, getting this protection often seems like the smart choice.

How do I know if my vehicle qualifies for coverage?

If your vehicle is still in its manufacturer warranty period, you are eligible to upgrade your warranty. Standard coverage periods include: 3 years/60,000km for most manufacturers; 4 years/80,000km for Acura, Cadillac, Lincoln, Lexus, Infiniti, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Land Rover, and Volvo; and 5 years/100,000km for Hyundai, Kia, and Mitsubishi.

Are there financing options available?

Yes, you can finance the warranty with 0% interest. Terms vary based on the length of coverage you select.

Can I take my vehicle anywhere to get repaired?

Yes, you can bring your vehicle to any dealer or licensed garage to have repairs on your vehicle. You're not limited to specific repair facilities.

How are repair claims paid?

Claims are simple. If your plan is a manufacturer one, you bring it to any branded dealership that matches your vehicle and any covered repairs will be paid directly. With First Canadian, you can bring it to any repair facility, present your First Canadian information and we'll pay direct for any covered repairs.

Can I add warranty to my Electric or Hybrid vehicle?

Yes, we have specialized plans that are designed for electric and hybrid vehicles. These include coverage for EV/Hybrid batteries up to $10,000 and home charging unit coverage up to $800.

Why buy now if I still have manufacturer warranty?

Just like life insurance, the younger and better health your vehicle is in when you obtain coverage, the better your rates will be. It costs far less to extend the coverage on a newer vehicle than it does on an older vehicle that has used up a lot of mileage. By buying today, you lock into the best price available today.

Is my coverage transferable?

Yes. You can transfer the coverage to a new owner. This can be a big incentive for any buyer, as they know they will have warranty protection on the vehicle they are buying.
