MBOC Protection Plan

Three vehicle protection programs, a $1,250 value, included at no charge with every new and pre-owned car and SUV you buy from Mercedes-Benz of Orange County. Each covers your first year of ownership. Claims are limited to $1,000 in total across the dent, key and tire programs. Plus free New York State inspections for as long as you own your vehicle.

1. Dent & Ding Protection

Small dents, dings and creases are common, and most are not worth an insurance claim. Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) by expert technicians keeps your vehicle looking like new, absolutely free for your first year of ownership.

  • Dent, ding and crease repair, up to 2"
  • No paint or filler used
  • Up to two visits per year
  • Performed by a certified technician
  • Protects your trade-in value and reduces lease-end charges

2. Key / Remote Replacement

Replacing a modern key or remote typically costs $400 to $800. If your key or remote is lost, stolen or destroyed within your first year of ownership, we cover the cost of replacing it, up to $800.

  • Replacement up to $800 in your first year
  • 24/7 lockout assistance for the term of the plan

3. Road Hazard Tire Protection

Potholes, debris and fallen objects cause most flat tires. For your first year of ownership, we cover tire damage caused by a road hazard.

  • Flat tires: reimbursement for repairing a flat caused by a road hazard
  • Tire replacement: if the tire cannot be repaired, reimbursement for replacing it, up to $400

4. Free NY State Inspections

New York requires a state inspection every year. Buy your car or SUV from us and your New York State inspection is free, for as long as you own your vehicle.

  • Your New York State inspection, free every year
  • For as long as you own your vehicle

Want longer coverage?

Each program can be extended for up to five years, and tire coverage can be expanded to include your wheels and rims. Ask your Business Manager for details when you buy.

Eligible pre-owned vehicles: 6-Month Limited Powertrain Warranty

Eligible vehicles only: not every vehicle comes with this warranty. An eligible vehicle's price breakdown lists it as included.

Eligible pre-owned cars and SUVs from Mercedes-Benz of Orange County come with the selling dealer's Limited Powertrain Warranty at no additional charge: 6 months from the date of sale, unlimited miles, no deductible. New vehicles, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles (Mercedes-Benz or Genesis) and Mercedes-Benz Vans do not come with it. Coverage is set by the written limited warranty, which you can read before you buy: ask your salesperson for a copy.

Repairs may use new, remanufactured or used parts of like kind and quality.

What's not covered

  • Anything not listed as covered, including suspension, steering, brakes, electrical and air-conditioning parts
  • Normal wear and tear, and maintenance items and services
  • Repairs a manufacturer's warranty, emissions warranty, recall or factory bulletin already covers
  • Damage from collision, abuse, misuse, racing, towing or overloading, running without proper oil or coolant, or continuing to drive a vehicle that is already impaired
  • Parts that have been modified or tampered with, or changed from the manufacturer's specifications
  • Hoses, rubber parts, fasteners and CV joint boots
  • Vehicles used commercially: commercial use voids the warranty
  • Repairs outside the continental United States and Canada, unless the selling dealer agrees in writing first
  • Loss of use, inconvenience, and other incidental or consequential costs

Getting a repair, and the conditions

  • Call the selling dealer for authorization before any repair.
  • If the vehicle is within 50 miles of the selling dealer, the repair is done there.
  • If a covered part fails outside business hours and the vehicle can't be driven, a licensed repair shop may make the repair; call the selling dealer on the next business day for reimbursement.
  • Keep the vehicle maintained on the manufacturer's schedule and keep every receipt: missing maintenance records void the coverage.
  • The warranty belongs to the buyer and this vehicle only. It cannot be transferred, and it ends if the vehicle is sold, traded or declared a total loss.
  • Coverage ends 6 months after the date of sale. There is no mileage limit.
  • The most the warranty pays is the vehicle's NADA clean trade-in value just before the breakdown.
