If you’re like many San Jose-area drivers, you might be familiar with new vehicle warranties that protect engine components. But, is there a plan that protects your car’s tires? After all, tires are among the most important components of your vehicle. Fletcher Jones Motorcars of Fremont goes over the details of everything you need to know regarding the Mercedes-Benz tire warranty.
Protect the tires of your Mercedes-Benz vehicle with the exclusive Mercedes-Benz tire warranty.
Yes, Mercedes-Benz tires are covered through the First Class Wheel and Tire Protection Plus program. This program is offered through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and covers your tires as well as your wheels.
Here are some important details about the program that Bay Area drivers should know:
Deductibles for covered tire and/or wheel replacement claims and aggregate claim limits may apply depending on the state and the dealership from which you purchased coverage.
