Why Do I Need A Motor Warranty in South Africa?
Once your manufacturer's warranty expires, a single mechanical failure — a gearbox, engine, or electrical fault — can cost more than your car is worth. Motor warranty cover gives you peace of mind and protects your budget.
Mechanical Breakdown Cover
Covers the cost of repairs when your engine, gearbox, or drivetrain fails unexpectedly.
Electrical Component Failure
Modern vehicles are packed with electronics. Warranty cover includes costly electrical faults that manufacturers no longer cover.
Roadside Assistance
Many motor warranty plans include 24/7 roadside assistance so you're never stranded.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about motor warranties.
What is a motor warranty and how does it differ from car insurance?
Car insurance covers damage from accidents, theft, and third-party incidents. A motor warranty covers the cost of mechanical or electrical breakdowns — the two work together to give you full protection. Apply for car insurance here.
Can I get motor warranty cover on an older or high-mileage vehicle?
Yes. Many SA providers offer warranty cover for vehicles up to 15 years old or 200,000 km. Cover options and premiums will vary based on the vehicle's age and condition.
Does motor warranty cover routine maintenance like oil changes or tyres?
No. Motor warranty cover is for unexpected mechanical and electrical failures, not routine servicing, tyres, brakes, or consumables.
Am I required to use a specific repair workshop?
Most warranty providers have a network of approved workshops. Some plans allow you to use any registered repair centre — this is worth checking when comparing quotes.
What happens when I sell my vehicle?
Many motor warranty policies are transferable to the new owner, which can actually increase your vehicle's resale value.
