Protect Yourself with Cat® Extended Service Coverage (ESC)
By Caterpillar | Posted: December, 11 2024
Rising Repair Costs Hitting Your Bottom Line?
In late February, 2023, The American Trucking Associations’ Technology and Maintenance Council along with Decisiv Inc. released a report on truck maintenance and repair costs. What they found was this: In the last quarter of 2022, labor costs rose by nearly 11%, with a 13% increase in combined parts and labor expenses over the prior year.
Is there anything you can do to avoid these rising repair costs? When it comes to your Cat® on-highway truck engine, the answer is a definite “yes.” Cat Extended Service Coverage (ESC) lets you take to the road with predictability and peace of mind when it comes to repair costs — whether you choose Overhaul Protection for Cat Truck Engines (OPT), Precious Metals Kit ESC, Component Plus coverage or ESC Plus for complete Cat Reman truck engines.
Here’s what you need to know about your options
Cat ESC plans:
- Cover the cost of parts, repair labor and resultant damage on covered components that fail due to defects, when repaired at an authorized Cat dealer
- Are transferable at no additional cost to help increase the resale value of your truck
- Come in multiple coverage options available to meet different needs
