Mercury Mechanical Protection
When it comes to protecting your vehicle from unexpected mechanical issues, many drivers question whether a standard auto insurance policy offers enough coverage. At our independent insurance agency, we help clients explore options that go beyond the basics. One often-overlooked solution is mechanical protection insurance—a policy designed to reduce your financial risk from sudden breakdowns in both new and pre-owned vehicles. Mercury has been providing Mechanical Protection since 1974, so you can rest assured that they will be there when you need them!
How Mechanical Protection Benefits You
Mechanical protection insurance can fill the coverage gap left by standard auto insurance, which typically doesn’t pay for repairs related to mechanical failures or breakdowns. This is especially valuable if you plan to keep your car beyond the manufacturer’s warranty period, or if you purchase a pre-owned vehicle.
For example, imagine your car’s transmission fails unexpectedly just after the factory warranty expires. With mechanical protection coverage in place, you could save hundreds (or even thousands) on repairs that would otherwise fall on you.
Additional Benefits Included
Enrolling with Mercury provides several valuable benefits included at no extra cost:
- Auto Deductible Reimbursement up to $500 if you have to pay a deductible on a covered loss
- Trip Interruption Coverage up to $450 for meals and lodging if a breakdown occurs far from home

- Tire Protection up to $150 for eligible tire damage
- 24-hour Roadside Assistance up to $100
