Yes, absolutely. Keeping up with regular maintenance is one of the most important things you can do for your vehicle. It helps protect your investment, ensures safe operation, and supports the long-term reliability of your car.
Why It’s Important
Your vehicle’s manufacturer provides a recommended maintenance schedule that includes things like oil changes, fluid checks, tire rotations, and more. These services keep your car running efficiently and help avoid unexpected repairs down the road.
But maintenance isn’t just about performance. If you’ve purchased a vehicle protection plan, staying on top of your maintenance responsibilities is often required for your coverage to remain valid.
What Your Protection Plan Requires
Most Prosidium protection products include a clause that outlines what’s expected of you as the vehicle owner. While the details may vary between products, there are some general standards:
Follow your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. You can find this in your owner’s manual or on the vehicle manufacturer’s website.
Keep all service records. You’ll need to show proof that maintenance was completed, and each receipt must include:
- The year, make, and model of your vehicle
- The full Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- The date of service
- The mileage at the time of service
Why we recommend doing maintenance at your selling dealer
Your selling dealer keeps all the records of your maintenance and repairs, making it super easy for our claims department to get this information without you having to hunt through your glove box for receipts.
Be ready to submit proof if you file a claim. We may ask for records before processing coverage.
If you can’t provide this documentation, your claim could be denied.
Review Your Specific Agreement
Each protection product is a little different. Some offer more flexibility, while others have strict requirements for parts and labor to remain covered. The best way to be sure is to read your agreement carefully. If you have questions, your selling dealership or our claims team can help clarify what’s expected.
In Summary:
Yes, maintenance is not optional. It protects your car, preserves your warranty, and gives you peace of mind. Always follow your manufacturer’s schedule, keep good records, and double-check your protection plan for any specific terms.
