Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI)
MBI is an affordable extended warranty plan offered by the Credit Union for both new and used cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Mechanical Breakdown Insurance is an investment in your financial security, because by investing up-front in MBI you avoid the high costs of major auto repairs that would have otherwise come out of your own pocket. Our MBI plan features the following:
Superior Coverage
We offer top-of-the-line coverage backed by a top-rated insurance carrier that will save you hundreds of dollars over comparable manufacturer's vehicle service contracts.
Simple Claims
Your vehicle may be serviced at any licensed repair facility in the United Sates or Canada with prior approval.
Direct payment to repair facility
Our MBI plan will supply a national credit card to the repair facility for payment of all authorized repair costs less your deductible.
Increased resale value
If you later decide to sell the car, coverage may be transferred to the new private owner, or may be cancelled for a prorated refund of the unused portion.
