That part isn’t covered anymore.

You just heard it. You don’t have to hear it again.

Your factory warranty has run out, so today’s repair is yours to pay. Extended coverage from Auto Warranty Experts picks up where the factory left off — and because Sault Nissan is an AWE service drive partner, your coverage is built to be used right here.

$300 deductible → $0

Every AWE contract carries a $300 deductible per claim — waived in full when the repair is completed at Sault Nissan. Same technicians, same shop, nothing out of your pocket on a covered repair.

Step 1 of 3 · Your vehicle

Which vehicle is in the shop?

Your advisor can read these off the repair order.

The VIN lets us price the exact vehicle instead of the closest match. Your advisor has it in front of them.

Why today, of all days

The next one is the one that hurts

You’re holding an estimate, so you already know what a repair costs on a vehicle this age. The question isn’t whether something else will fail — it’s whether you’ll be paying for it. Typical out-of-pocket ranges at a franchised shop, parts and labour:

Repair
Typical range
Transmission replacementThe one that ends a vehicle’s life more often than rust
$4,500–$8,000
Hybrid or EV drive batteryOut of the 8-year factory battery warranty
$5,000–$15,000
TurbochargerNow standard on most small engines
$2,000–$4,500
Air conditioning compressor
$1,200–$2,400
Infotainment head unitA screen is an electrical part, and it fails like one
$1,000–$3,500
Starter or alternator
$700–$1,600

Ranges are typical Canadian franchised-shop figures for planning only — not a quote, and not an estimate for your vehicle. Your advisor’s written estimate is the real number for the repair in front of you today.

What coverage does

Built to be used in this shop

AWE coverage is underwritten and administered by established, fully insured Canadian providers. We quote it and we sell it, the administrator services your policy and pays claims for the term, and the store fixes the vehicle.

The expensive parts

Engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials, turbo, steering, suspension, brakes, electrical, fuel and cooling systems — the failures that arrive as four-figure estimates.

EV and hybrid, battery included

Drive battery, electric motors, reduction gear, inverter, onboard charger and the high-voltage systems — the parts that make an EV repair different from any other.

Getting around meanwhile

Rental car coverage while yours is in the shop, towing to the nearest licensed repair facility, and roadside assistance for the full term — included, not sold separately. Each pays up to the daily and per-claim limits set out in your contract.

Yours to keep or pass on

Terms up to 60 months or 100,000 km. Sell the vehicle privately and the balance transfers with it; cancel early and unused coverage is refundable under the contract terms.

If something fails

What a claim actually looks like

Five steps, in this order, every time. You never pay a shop and chase a reimbursement.

  1. Book it in hereCall Sault Nissan service on 705-759-0043 and say you have AWE coverage. Your policy number is in your confirmation email and on the contract we send you — keep a copy on your phone.
  2. The shop diagnoses itTechnicians who know your vehicle establish what failed and what it takes to fix — the same diagnosis they’d do either way.
  3. The shop calls the claims line, not youThe service advisor contacts the administrator directly and gets authorization before work starts. You don’t sit on hold and you don’t front the money.
  4. The administrator pays the shopCovered parts and labour are billed to the administrator at the store’s door rate. Nothing runs through your credit card.
  5. Your deductible is waivedThe $300 per-claim deductible is waived in full because the work was done at Sault Nissan. Elsewhere in Canada your coverage still applies — you’d simply pay the $300.

Straight answers

What people ask at the counter

Is this Sault Nissan, or someone else?

Someone else, working with them. Auto Warranty Experts is a separate business operated by a licensed Ontario dealership; Sault Nissan is our service drive partner, which is why your deductible is waived on work done here. AWE quotes and sells the coverage, the warranty administrator services your policy and pays the claims, and the store fixes the vehicle. Neither AWE nor the dealership is your insurer — the contracts are underwritten and administered by established Canadian providers, named in your paperwork before you sign anything.

Does today’s repair get covered?

No, and we’d rather tell you now than after you’ve paid. A pre-existing failure — the one on the estimate in your hand — is excluded from every extended contract, ours included. Coverage starts once the policy is issued and the vehicle passes eligibility. What it protects is everything that hasn’t broken yet.

Can I use a different shop?

Yes. Coverage works at any licensed repair facility in Canada, so you’re not tied to this store or this city — useful if you break down travelling. The only difference is the $300 per-claim deductible, which is waived here and payable elsewhere.

What isn’t covered?

Maintenance and wear items — oil changes, brake pads, wiper blades, tires, alignments — plus collision damage, rust, abuse, and anything already failed when the contract was issued. Every exclusion is listed in the contract, in plain language, and we’ll walk you through them before you decide rather than after you claim.

Am I about to get hounded by phone calls?

No. You get written options by email, one confirmation contact, and a follow-up if you asked for one. If you’d rather not hear from us again, say so in one reply and that’s the end of it. Your details go to the AWE team and are never sold or passed to a lead broker — that’s also why the dealership was willing to put its name next to ours.

How do I pay for it?

One-time or monthly, your choice, and monthly carries no interest through our provider network. Coverage on a vehicle you’re still financing can often be added to your existing payment — ask us and we’ll price both ways so you can compare them side by side.
