Life & Disability Insurance

Let Credit Life and Disability coverage help protect you and your family's financial future during these times. For most people, life is difficult to predict. While you can count on certain events to occur throughout your life, some arise unexpectedly.

At Schlueter Chevrolet, we offer our customer's this piece of mind when financing or leasing a vehicle.

With Credit Life Coverage in the event of your untimely death, the remaining financial obligation of the vehicle is paid off in full by the Assurant Group. This coverage helps to maintain the value of any existing policies that you have in place allowing for the comfort of knowing that your family will be covered in an untimely death. Accidents know no boundaries. Accidents do not recognize age, sex, race, religion or occupation. One moment everything is normal and the next moment you could be the victim of a drunk driver, a slippery step or a virus. When you factor in the costs of maintaining your mortgage payments, food, clothing, utilities, medical costs and children's education, it really does make good sense to provide protection against unforeseen hazards.

With Illness and Injury Coverage in the event that you were sick or injured and could not work, your monthly payments will be covered for the length of your illness or injury. The Illness and Injury Benefits include paying your monthly obligation, the benefits are non-taxable, they are paid over and above your workplace benefits, the payments never need to be repaid, and it will help protect your savings and credit rating.

Both Credit Life and Accident and Illness coverage are available for both loans and leases. Both coverage's are available for just the vehicle buyer, just the vehicle co-buyer, or both the vehicle buyer and co-buyer jointly. You can even choose a plan tailored to your needs by choosing various "retroactive" or "elimination" policies.

The premiums for the coverage are calculated based on a group averaged rate. This means that all customers that qualify in the required age range pay the same premiums for the coverage regardless of age and occupation. There are no detailed medical questionnaires or physical examinations required to qualify for the coverage.

If you decide to pay off the loan or lease before its expiration, you can even receive a partial refund for the unused portion.

Statistics You May Not Realize.

  • A shocking survey recently discovered that death causes only 3% of foreclosures on Mortgages ..... Disability accounted for 48%
  • 38% of all vehicle repossessions are attributed to situations where people are unable to make their payments because of Disabilities
  • If you are male, age 35, there is a 1 in 3 chance that you will be disabled before you reach 65. Among those disables the average disability will last five years
  • In the most recent year statistics are available, 6 billion dollars of income was lost through disabilities and only 1 billion recovered by insurance! This income loss was 3 times as great as fire loss, and 2 times as great as auto accident loss.
  • More than 12.2 million people (CAN. & US) have chronic conditions that limit their activity: 27% are under age 45.

And in the 30 to 40 seconds it has taken you to read this article

  • 1 person has died by accidental means!
  • 10 people were disabled!
  • 25 people entered a hospital!

Sym-Tech Protection

 

Once you have decided to purchase your vehicle you can also take time to protect your investment against the environment.

Sym-Tech Body Panel Protection

Sym-Tech Rust Protection is a formulated compound which consists of an inorganic/organic complex, oxidized petrolatum and microcrystalline wax as well as sulfonate rust inhibitor.  This coating provides excellent long term metal protection.

Corrosion can start in the folds, seams and spot welds that are common in today's unibody designs.  These areas require special protection.

  • Penetrates seams and crevices where corrosion can begin
  • Protects against environmental pollutants and salt
  • Prevents moisture from attacking recessed metal body panels

Coats vulnerable inner areas of your vehicle

Sym-Tech Underbody Protection

Sym-Tech Underbody Protection contains high quality refined asphaltic compounds, synthetic rubber and resins, which when blended, provide excellent adhesion to metal.  In addition, rust inhibitors are added to give long term corrosion protection.

The underbody of your vehicle is highly exposed to the damaging effects of salt, stones, gravel and dirt.  Sym-Tech® Underbody Protection extends the life of your vehicle.

  • High-pressure application ensures that all hard to access inner surfaces are protected
  • Seals out moisture from highly exposed areas
  • Won't crack or peel
  • Provides a sound barrier for a quieter ride

Sym-Tech® Electronic Corrosion Control (ECC)

Module helps protect against rust formation by delivering an alternating current and using "non-cathodic" capacitive coupling technology.

  • works 24 hours a day
  • environmentally friendly
  • does not interfere with computer or electrical systems
  • low battery shut off
  • no re-application or touch ups required
  • transferable from one vehicle to another
  • suitable for new and pre-owned vehicles

A protective charge gets into crevices, and hidden areas where rust starts.

Sym-Tech® Paint Protection

Sym-Tech® Paint Protection bonds to the paint surface to create a high gloss protective barrier.  Moisture and environmental pollutants can become trapped in the top coating of paint.  When this surface is left untreated, the harmful agents can dull the finish and diminish the beauty of your vehicle.

  • Repels salt and dirt
  • Blocks out ultraviolet rays that dull the finish
  • Protects against oxidation that leads to colour fading
  • Protects against acid rain damage

Sym-Tech® Upholstery Guard

Coats and protects individual fibres and leather or vinyl, repelling liquid, adding years to the life of your vehicle's interior.

The upholstery in your vehicle is exposed to everyday substances, like spilled drinks, that can damage the surface.
Sym-Tech® Upholstery Guard is a formulated product which has the ability to clean, polish, and protect in one application.  This product is specially developed to protect the leather/vinyl/fabric to prevent staining and drying out.

  • Protects against permanent stains and colour fading
  • Repels dirt and spills
  • Protects against moisture
  • Makes upholstery easier to clean

Sym-Tech Extra Care Protection

Sym-Tech Extra Care Protection developed to help maintain and protect the appearance of your new vehicle.

Surface Rust Protection

This optional protection goes beyond your standard Rust Protection against perforation.  The exterior painted body panels of your new vehicle are vulnerable to rust caused by paint chipping, scratches, or stone chips.  Sym-Tech warrants, for a period of six years, that there will be no surface rust damage or blistering of the painted surface to your new vehicle which has been protected with Sym-Tech® Paint Protection or Electronic Rust Protection.

Rip, Tear & Burn Protection

This optional protection goes beyond your standard Upholstery Protection against permanent stains and colour fading. The upholstery seats of your new vehicle are vulnerable to accidental rips, tears, or burns.  Sym-Tech warrants, for a period of six years, that should there be accidental rips, tears, or burns, the damaged area will be repaired.

Why should I rust proof my vehicle?

Automotive manufacturers have come a long way in developing rust prevention measures.  The fact remains however, that road maintenance crews dump millions of tons of salt and corrosive de-icing agents on Canadian roads each year. 

The most destructive automotive rust starts from the interior of body panels and eats its way through to the outside.  The prospect of future costly corrosion damage remains high for your vehicle.  Rust shortens the life of your vehicle and ruins its appearance, greatly reducing its resale value.

Does General Motors rust proof my vehicle?

Automobile manufacturers ship their vehicles to all corners of the world and all climates. Only a small portion of these vehicle markets are considered "Corrosion Zones" so it is not feasible to add complete rust protection at the factory. Sym-Tech® Rust Protection is applied to the fully assembled vehicle (without the need to drill holes in your new car) to create an air and water-tight barrier which prevents moisture from attacking even the most recessed, vulnerable metal surfaces on your vehicle.

Sym-Tech® Body Panel Protection, Underbody Protection and Electronic Rust Protection are a part of the complete Sym-Tech® Automotive Protection Program backed by a fully insured warranty policy. Stop rust before it starts.
