Car protection products

Help protect your car and your peace of mind

Buying a car is not just a necessity for many Canadians, it's also a major investment. One way to help protect that investment, and to keep your new car looking great, is by adding car protection products to your car deal.

What are car protection products?

Designed to protect your car, your investment and your peace of mind, protection products may help you to avoid costly car repair bills.

Offered by dealers, these products either act as an additional warranty on a particular part of a car, like the windshield or tires, or are physical products applied to the exterior or interior of a vehicle to help prevent future damage or theft. When you finance a car online through Kijiji Autos, you get access to a variety of custom car protection products offered by dealerships in your area. Depending on the product and the dealer, you can add protection products to a new or used car, pay in monthly instalments or in a single payment, and may even be able to customize your coverage when finalizing your car deal.
