Stop Overpaying For Car Service: Keep Your Warranty Coverage Intact

Warranties can seriously reduce the cost of car services, but only if you’re able to keep your coverage intact. To do so requires regular upkeep performed according to your warranty’s car service schedule, which can be tough to stay on top of. But don’t worry—your local TIRECRAFT is here to help.

Read on to learn how we’re helping Canadians save money with warranty-approved car services, upkeep automation, and the extended coverage provided by the Advantage Plus Program, or contact your local TIRECRAFT to speak directly with a car service tech near you.

Keep Your Warranty Coverage Intact With Qualified Car Services

When booking auto repairs or maintenance, make sure you choose a shop with warranty-safe car service—that is, shops whose car service parts, processes, and schedule recommendations align with the standards stipulated in your warranty or owner’s manual.

Failing to do so could really cost you. In fact, in January of this year, an Ontario man was forced to scrap his nearly-new 2018 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel truck after being hit with a $19,000 repair bill for an engine replacement that would have been covered under his warranty, had he not chosen the wrong shop for his oil change!

“When I asked them why it was not covered under warranty, they mentioned at 50,000km the oil switch came on and I didn’t get an oil change done right away,” the man told CTV News (Foran, 2022). The man spotted the service light right away, but a third party oil shop had told him he could travel an additional 24,000 kilometres before his next oil change. Unfortunately, they were wrong, and their mistake cost him both his warranty coverage and his truck.

But when you choose TIRECRAFT for your car service, you never have to worry. Each of our 300+ locations is staffed by certified and experienced car service technicians, all of whom are equipped with cutting-edge tools, modern best practices, and premium auto parts from our network of brand-name suppliers. As a result, all of our car services are 100% warranty-safe and guaranteed for 20,000km or 12 months of driving, which is 4-times the industry standard set by the Consumer Protection Act.

If you want added peace of mind, our technicians can also help you set up an automated car service schedule for effortless adherence to your manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations. Just visit your local TIRECRAFT for a free inspection and warranty review, and we’ll set up a car service schedule that works for you!

Save More On Car Services With Extended TIRECRAFT Coverage

If you want to save even more money on your annual car services, take advantage of the Advantage Plus Program, our national warranty, which includes:

  • A 12-month, 20,000km mechanical warranty on all parts and labor involved in your car service, which is more than 4-times what is required by the Ontario Consumer Protection Act

  • A 30-day tire satisfaction guarantee, so you never have to worry about buyer’s remorse or high costs of quality (COQ) when trying to find the best fit for your vehicle
  • FREE flat tire repairs and Road Hazard Coverage to eliminate the costs of unexpected tire damage
  • FREE tire rotations to reduce your annual car service costs and minimize the risks of uneven treadwear
