The four most common Car Care Plan warranty claims show how this cover can save you money and stress...
For the most part, our relationship with cars is a straightforward transaction. In return for regular servicing and a few routine checks, we expect our trusty steed will get us to where we want to go every time we turn on the engine.
But when one of the thousands of individual components and mechanical parts that keep you on the road stop working in perfect harmony, then the consequences can be swift and stressful. A breakdown, or a car that won’t start, is more than just an inconvenience.

Why a warranty helps
A Car Care Plan warranty can remove some of that stress because you have the reassuring knowledge that, in return for a small payment every month, your car will be repaired without hassle. It works much like other insurance products. All you have to do is get your faulty car and your policy document to any VAT registered dealer in the UK.
From that point, Car Care Plan will liaise directly with the dealer to complete the repair – and you won’t have a hefty bill to pay. You won’t even have to pay an excess.
Four costly car care faults
There’s no denying that car repair bills can be pricey – here are the most common claims made by Car Care Plan warranty customers, and their associated costs:
1. Electrical system faults (central locking, sensors, wash/wipe motor)
Average claim: £439*
2. Cooling system problems (water pump, radiator, thermostat)
Average claim: £415*
3. Suspension issues (springs, shock absorbers, roll bars)
Average claim: £380*
4. Defective fuel system (injectors, fuel pump or turbocharger)
Average claim: £686*
But there are claims made on more than 100 different car components, not just the ones listed – the overall average claim made on Boundless warranties in 2023 was over £650. Nobody wants an unexpected bill like that – and if you’ve taken out a Car Care Plan warranty, you won’t have one.
