Is A Warranty What My Commercial Assets Need?

When your entire business is riding on the safety and performance of your commercial truck or commercial equipment, protecting your investment is job #1. That’s why performing regular maintenance is a critical first step for avoiding unplanned downtime and extending the life of your truck, fleet, or equipment. Yet, while regular oil changes, tire maintenance, realignment, and other preventative steps are critical, they’re often no match for unforeseen breakdowns or emergency events that can result in unexpected and costly repairs. Repairs on a single semi-truck can frequently run you $10,000-$20,000. On top of that, every day your commercial asset is off the road you are losing revenue. This type of expense could potentially be avoided if you have an extended warranty in place for your trucks.

Protection beyond factory warranties

When purchasing new, the original equipment manufacturer’s warranty (OEMs) covers specific parts, components, and systems. However, for items that are not covered, truck owners run the risk of footing the bill for expensive out-of-pocket repairs in the event of an accident, component failure, or general wear and tear. That can get expensive, especially if you’ve financed your new rig and are making substantial monthly payments.  The type of component coverage is the most important aspect of a warranty. This is what you are paying to protect in case something goes wrong.

That’s where an affordable extended warranty can make a difference. Offering unique benefits that go beyond an ordinary OEM warranty, a truck warranty from TrüNorth Global provides the added protection you seek for protecting your commercial asset investment. By covering certain components that OEM warranties generally do not cover, protecting against rising parts, labor, and travel costs. That enables you to extend the life of your new equipment or used truck. Equally important, you can repurpose business capital that would otherwise be spent on a new truck in other areas of business growth. In addition, a TrüNorth Global is fully transferable, providing the potential to increase resale value when you are ready to sell.

Making dollars and sense of heavy-duty used truck warranties

Buying a used truck makes good sense for many owner-operators and small fleet managers. The purchase of a new truck can tie up a considerable amount of working capital, despite the fact that it depreciates considerably the minute you drive it off the lot. For many, used trucks are simply a more affordable option. Yet, there’s a greater risk that a pre-owned vehicle will require repairs or experience a breakdown sooner than later, despite regular maintenance. To plan for these inevitable repairs, you generally have two choices. You can set money aside each month in an account earmarked for repairs or purchase a comprehensive aftermarket warranty to manage your overall risk.

 When searching for a heavy-duty truck warranty or used truck warranty, you need to know that you have access to the leading coverage. TrüNorth Global provides that and the peace of mind to know that we have you covered. There’s no way to anticipate which systems or components might fail, and when.

Aftermarket warranties help resolve these challenges and more since they’re designed to cover the kind of game-changing repairs that can bankrupt a commercial truck owner. With a truck warranty, you know exactly what’s covered and what’s not, making it easy to determine and maintain a budget for preventative maintenance and any deductibles that may apply to covered repairs. In addition, you can pay the full price of the truck warranty in advance or choose to make fixed affordable monthly payments. So when a breakdown does occur, you’re not left scrambling for cash or disrupting business cash flow to cover needed repairs.
