Typically in regard to an extended auto warranty, roadside assistance provides convenience features to the consumer that acquired the warranty coverage. Sometimes, the factory warranty also comes standard with roadside assistance benefits. However, roadside assistance that comes with the factory warranty typically only covers a toll free 24/7 claims service that provides towing, due to a mechanical breakdown, to your nearest dealer repair facility. An extended warranty will offer additional Roadside Assistance options such as:
- Towing - service to the nearest ASE Certified repair facility.
- Tire Change - assistance with the changing of a tire in the result of a flat by road debris.
- Jump-Start - roadside service to start a weak batter or replace a dead battery.
- Emergency Fuel Delivery - roadside delivery of fuel if your vehicle runs out.
- Lost Key or Lockout - in case you lose your keys or lock them in the vehicle a locksmith will assist you on the roadside.
