  • Lower cost of repairs: The overall cost of car repairs and other maintenance will be reduced.
  • Additional benefits: Expect to take advantage of services like reimbursement for car rentals, roadside assistance, towing, and much more.

  • Services not covered: Some services may not be covered in a vehicle service contract. One example is windshield protection, which iAUTOHAUS is unable to provide.
