Frequently asked questions at Zim's Auto Sales in Logansport, IN

A: We partner with AUTTO because we believe protecting your vehicle should be completely transparent and stress-free. Unlike traditional warranty companies that hide behind confusing fine print and slow approval processes, AUTTO is built by industry insiders to cut through the red tape. They provide our customers with plain-language contracts, nationwide repair flexibility, and an industry-leading two-hour average claim approval time—ensuring that if you ever need a repair, you are taken care of immediately without the typical dealership hassle.

A: We offer both! While they sound similar, they serve two completely different and equally important purposes for your vehicle:

1. AUTTO Vehicle Service Contracts: These act as mechanical protection for your wallet. They cover the cost of unexpected mechanical or electrical breakdowns (like an engine, transmission, or A/C failure) after your factory warranty expires.
2. AUTTO Prepaid Maintenance Plans: These cover your routine, scheduled upkeep. They take care of the predictable services required to keep your car running smoothly, such as oil changes, fluid top-offs, and tire rotations.

By combining an Autto service contract with a maintenance plan, you can lock in your driving costs and fully protect yourself from both routine upkeep expenses and surprise repair bills.

A: While standard factory warranties generally cover manufacturer defects for a limited time, our AUTTO Vehicle Protection Plans pick up where the factory leaves off to protect you from unexpected, out-of-pocket repair costs.

Because every driver has different needs, we offer multiple tiers of coverage. This ranges from core Powertrain Protection (covering your engine, transmission, and drive axle) up to our highest tier, Platinum Exclusionary Coverage. Our Platinum plan is our most comprehensive option; it is designed to cover the vast majority of your vehicle's mechanical and electrical components, excluding only standard wear-and-tear items like brake pads and fluids. Every AUTTO plan also includes premium roadside assistance, trip interruption coverage, and towing benefits.

To see exactly which components are covered for your specific vehicle and budget, ask your sales representative for a quick, transparent look at our plain-language plan options today!

A: Yes. While approval is not guaranteed, we partner with lenders who work with customers of all credit backgrounds—including first-time buyers and those rebuilding credit.
