An extended service contract is an optional vehicle protection plan that helps cover the cost of certain mechanical and electrical repairs after your factory or dealer warranty expires. It’s designed to reduce unexpected repair expenses and provide added peace of mind.

No. An extended service contract is not a warranty. Warranties are included by the manufacturer or dealer and cover defects for a limited time. Extended service contracts are optional protection plans that help cover breakdown-related repairs beyond that initial coverage period.

Coverage varies by plan, but most Liberty Shield contracts help cover major components such as the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and other critical systems. Some plans may also include roadside assistance, rental reimbursement, and trip interruption benefits.

Your finance manager will review available options and explain exactly what is covered before you choose a plan.

Yes. Liberty Shield plans typically allow repairs to be completed at licensed repair facilities nationwide, giving you flexibility whether you’re close to home or traveling.

Coverage timing depends on the specific plan selected. Some contracts begin immediately, while others start after your factory or dealer warranty expires. Your South County Auto Plaza team will explain the start date clearly at the time of purchase.

GAP Insurance helps protect you financially if your vehicle is totaled or stolen. It covers the difference between what your insurance company pays and what you still owe on your loan.

Yes, potentially. Standard auto insurance pays the vehicle’s current market value, not the remaining loan balance. GAP Insurance helps cover that “gap” if you owe more than the vehicle is worth.

Our experienced finance team at South County Auto Plaza will walk you through your options, answer questions honestly, and help you choose coverage that fits your vehicle, driving habits, and budget — with no pressure.
