All Toco warranty plans have a per-visit deductible which, if not specified in the client registration page, will amount to $100 per visit. Should a covered Breakdown take more than one visit to repair, only one deductible per breakdown will apply. Although the company allows clients to choose their own repair shops, those who have their vehicles serviced at one of Toco's preferred facilities will get an additional $50 off their deductible. As is the case with most car warranty providers, there will be a coverage waiting period of 30 days and 1,000 miles from the contract purchase date and odometer mileage at the moment of purchase and maintenance records will be required for service.

I tried 4 times to use this warranty and none of them were approved. I'll call ahead to see if the service was under warranty and they would tell me yes. When i turn the automobile in for the service they would deny it. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy.
