SA Warranties is a provider of motor vehicle warranties in South Africa, often partnering up with popular manufacturers in South Africa to extend motor warranties for vehicles going out of warranty, and even providing warranties for new vehicles.

Underwritten by Regent, their mechanical warranty is a leader in South Africa. They offer mechanical breakdown insurance for used and new vehicles, including motorbikes, quads, boats, jet-skis, and caravans.

As with any warranty company worth their salt, they offer mechanical breakdown insurance on your vehicle’s major parts should they fail whilst it is still covered by them. They offer engine, gearbox and major electrical components. Make sure you understand which components exactly they will cover, how the cover works should you claim against your policy. You don’t want to be sold cover which will later not meet your needs. The cover will most likely depend on what your needs are and how much you’re able to afford.

Car Warranty Cover in South Africa

extended warranty plan

If you’ve ever bought a vehicle second hand, you will know that a car warranty is a must-have! Car dealerships also have specific warranty cover companies that offer car warranties for your vehicle. And what they offer also spans from mechanical breakdown insurance, engine break-down to offering road-side assistance in case of a break down.

Vehicle warranty extenders work like an insurance product because you claim against an insurance policy. You also have to get these through an actual insurance broker/representative.

Car warranty cover is used as an extended warranty after your vehicle has gone out of the manufacturer’s warranty. You will be able to replace certain major parts that have failed, have broken down or simply need replacement.

Your car will also need to be serviced with an approved dealerships at required intervals. This is required so that the insurer knows the vehicle has at least been taken care of.

You will also take care to take your car warranty early on as it becomes much more affordable. More factors that determine the price include the mileage of your car, and the year of manufacture.

Car manufacturers such as Toyota, VW or Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz often have their own in-house warranty and warranty plan extenders that they sell in-house. They will often add them for an extra 20 000 kms or 2 years after the original plan has elapsed.
