Peace of Mind for Every Mile Ahead
At Northway Automotive, we believe buying a pre-owned vehicle should come with confidence. That’s why we offer a range of vehicle protection and warranty plans designed to help safeguard your investment long after you leave our lot.
Vehicle Protection Plans
Feature Guard
Essential coverage for everyday protection
Feature Guard helps cover common components that support your vehicle’s core systems. This plan is ideal for drivers looking for reliable, entry-level protection at an affordable cost. Coverage typically includes select engine, transmission, and essential mechanical components.
Essential Guard
Expanded protection for added confidence
Essential Guard builds on basic coverage by protecting additional mechanical and electrical components throughout the vehicle. Ideal for drivers who want broader coverage without going fully comprehensive.
Major Guard
Comprehensive protection for peace of mind
Major Guard is designed to cover many of the vehicle’s most important mechanical and electrical systems, helping shield you from high repair costs. This plan is ideal for drivers who want strong coverage for long-term ownership.
Major Guard EV
Protection built specifically for electric vehicles
Major Guard EV is tailored to help protect key electric-vehicle systems, providing coverage designed for today’s advanced EV technology. Perfect for EV owners seeking coverage beyond the factory warranty.
Tire & Wheel Protection
Ideal for everyday driving conditions and unexpected road damage.
Helps cover the cost of repair or replacement for tires and wheels damaged by common road hazards such as:
• Nails
• Glass
• Potholes
• Road debris
Key Protection
A simple way to avoid costly replacements.
Lost, stolen, or damaged key fobs can be expensive to replace. Key Protection helps cover:
• Key replacement
• Key fob reprogramming
• Locksmith services
Dent Protection
Designed to keep your vehicle looking its best.
Covers repair of minor dents and dings, including hail damage, with no impact on your vehicle’s appearance or resale value.
Windshield Protection
Protection for damaged windshields
Helps cover the cost of repairing or replacing damaged windshields caused by road hazards. Many modern vehicles use advanced glass technology — this plan helps reduce unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
VMC Protection
Keep your vehicle running
Helps cover specific scheduled maintenance services required to keep your vehicle running properly, depending on the selected plan. A great option for drivers who want predictable ownership costs.
GAP Protection
An important option for buyers who finance their vehicle.
GAP helps cover the difference between what you owe on your auto loan and your vehicle’s actual cash value if it is stolen or declared a total loss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our protection plans? We’ve got answers! Explore the most common inquiries about coverage, claims, costs, and more to find the perfect plan for your needs.
Are these warranties transferable?
Yes. Many of our protection plans are transferable, which can increase the value of your vehicle if you decide to sell it.
Can I choose more than one protection plan?
Yes. Many drivers choose to bundle coverage — for example, combining a Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) with GAP, Tire & Wheel, or Key Protection — for more complete peace of mind.
What is a Vehicle Service Contract (VSC)?
A VSC helps cover the cost of certain mechanical or electrical repairs due to covered breakdowns after the manufacturer’s warranty ends or where no factory warranty applies.
What’s the difference between Feature Guard, Essential Guard, and Major Guard?
• Feature Guard offers entry-level coverage for select core vehicle components.
• Essential Guard expands coverage to include more mechanical and electrical systems.
• Major Guard provides the most comprehensive coverage for a wide range of vehicle systems.
What does Key Protection include?
Key Protection helps cover the cost of replacing lost, stolen, or damaged keys and key fobs, including reprogramming and locksmith services.
What types of dents are covered under Dent Protection?
Dent Protection typically covers minor dents and dings, including many caused by hail, as long as there is no paint damage.
Is windshield replacement covered?
Windshield Protection helps cover repair or replacement costs resulting from damage caused by road hazards. Coverage varies by plan and vehicle.
What is GAP Protection, and do I need it?
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection) helps cover the difference between what you owe on your auto loan and your vehicle’s actual cash value if it’s stolen or deemed a total loss. It’s especially helpful for buyers who finance their vehicle.
Where can covered repairs be completed?
Most Ally protection plans allow covered repairs to be completed at any licensed repair facility nationwide, though pre-authorization may be required before work begins.
