Our extensive range of Mechanical Breakdown Warranty solutions assists with unexpected mechanical breakdown or electrical failures.
Watch the video below to find out more.
The Mechanical Breakdown Warranty is best explained using a simple example:
Thumi buys a brand new vehicle with a 3 year/100 000 km manufacturer’s warranty.
All goes well, until one night, 3 years and 4 months later, Thumi's vehicle makes a noise that was last heard when dragons roamed the earth. Thumi is no mechanic, but she reckons that it's probably best to pull to the side of the road and to phone for assistance.
Her vehicle is picked up and towed to the nearest repair shop, where she is informed that her engine has experienced some mechanical failure. Long story short, the repair cost would make a billionaire blush and seeing that she's out of the manufacturer’s warranty, the cost will be for her pocket.
Thumi is not shaken. She took out a Mechanical Breakdown Warranty and confidently showed her policy to the workshop owner. M-Sure stepped in and looked after the repair and towing cost.
Thumi feels like a winner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mechanical Breakdown Warranty only for new vehicles?
No, the plan covers new and pre-owned vehicles.
Can I place my vehicle that I use for business under a Mechanical Breakdown Warranty?
Absolutely. We cover a range of vehicles, from motorcycles to used trucks.
Does the Mechanical Breakdown Warranty cover the costs of my regular services?
Unfortunately not. There is a difference between a warranty plan and a service plan. The warranty plan only covers a selection of mechanical breakdowns and electrical failures. Should they find such a breakdown during the service, it will fall under the Mechanical Breakdown Warranty, but the rest of the service will be covered by you, or your service plan.
