WARRANTIES AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

SAFEROUTE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

Caught in a snowbank in the middle of nowhere? Got a flat tire just outside your home or while on a road trip? Your car’s battery is dead? As a driver, you hope these scenarios never happen to you, but the reality is they can occur at any time. At Auto Value Certified Service Centers, we understand that these situations are far from pleasant. That’s why we offer all of our customers SafeRoute Roadside Assistance, a reimbursement program that provides comfort and peace of mind in any of the following situations**:

1. Towing
2. Unlocking the door
3. Changing a flat tire – If the affected vehicle covered by the program doesn’t have a drivable spare tire, or if it has two or more flat tires, the vehicle will be towed. 
4. Delivering fuel, oil, fluid and water – An emergency supply of fuel (if authorized), oil, fluid and water will be delivered to any covered vehicle to meet the immediate needs. The customer must pay the cost of the delivery of the fluids. 
5. Car battery jump-starts

*Up to $75 CAD per claim. Maximum 3 claims per year.

** In Canada, you may use the service provider of your choice. We recommend that you contact your local Auto Value Certified Service Center for a referral to a service provider or even to receive assistance from a nearby Auto Value Certified Service Center repair shop. If you’re not in Canada, you must request SafeRoute Roadside Assistance at 1-877-230-0369. Our SafeRoute Roadside Assistance team will take care of your vehicle.
