Service Agreements
Toyota’s vehicle service agreement is a contract that enhances in scope and/or
length of coverage the protection provided by the manufacturer’s original war-
ranty, or provides protection if the original warranty has expired. The agreement
provides for the repair or replacement of covered components thathave mechan-
ical failures, and protects you from increases in the cost of covered repairs. In
addition, many plans include benefits such as towing, substitute transportation
and travel protection with lodging and meals.
Because they are factory-backed, Toyota service agreements are accepted at all
Toyota dealerships in the United States and Canada. That means repairs are made
only by factory-trained technicians using Genuine Toyota Parts.
Toyota Financial Services offers several levels of service agreement coverage, each
with a variety of time and mileage options.
**Your Toyota dealer can help you
select the coverage that best meets your needs.
Vehicle service agreements are offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc., dba Toyota Motor
Services Company in certain states. In Florida, offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Company.
Toyota Financial Services is a service mark of Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc.*
