Protecting your work van or fleet truck is one of the smartest decisions you can make for your business. Vehicles used for commercial purposes experience far more stress, heavier loads, tougher driving cycles, and many more miles compared to normal passenger cars. That is why choosing an extended warranty designed specifically for commercial use is so important.
At Mint Motors, we use Advanced Auto Guard (AAG) for extended warranties on our commercial and fleet vehicles. Their Level 4 and Unlimited mileage warranty plans are built to handle high-mileage, heavy-use vehicles that work hard every day. These plans are not the same as standard extended warranties—AAG is built for real work vehicles, so your coverage stays valid even if your business pushes its vehicles to the limit.
As your Fleet Business Manager, my goal is to help you understand your options clearly and guide you toward the best protection for your business.
Why Extended Warranties Matter for Commercial Vehicles
A commercial vehicle isn’t just a van or truck. It’s a tool your business relies on every day. When something breaks, the cost isn’t just the repair bill—it’s lost productivity, cancelled jobs, disappointed customers, and financial stress.
Extended warranties help avoid these problems by offering:
- Protection from major mechanical failures
- Predictable repair costs
- Faster response times when breakdowns occur
- Confidence that your vehicle is covered even under heavy use
- Reduced downtime and lost income
A reliable warranty plan is especially valuable in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte, North Port, and surrounding areas where many businesses rely on work vans and trucks daily for service routes, deliveries, construction, and more.
Why We Use Advanced Auto Guard
Not all warranties allow commercial use—and many customers don’t realize this until a claim is denied. AAG plans are built specifically for work vehicles, which is why we choose them for our customers.
Key Advantages of AAG’s Warranty Plans:
- Covers commercial use — No surprises, no denied claims for using your vehicle for work.
- Unlimited mileage options — Perfect for businesses that put heavy daily miles on their fleet.
- Level 4 coverage — One of the strongest coverage options available for used commercial vehicles.
- Accepted nationwide — Easy access to repairs almost anywhere.
- Strong coverage even for older and high-mileage vehicles — Designed for real business use.
- Covers major components such as engine, transmission, drivetrain, fuel system, cooling system, electrical, and more.
- Built for heavy-duty and high-load environments — Unlike standard auto warranties.
These benefits make AAG the ideal choice for protecting pre-owned fleet vehicles, including Transits, ProMasters, Sprinters, Savanas, Express vans, box trucks, and utility trucks.
Why Commercial Warranties Are Different From Standard Auto Warranties
A standard extended warranty for personal vehicles is not designed for:
- Long daily routes
- Heavy cargo weight
- Constant stop-and-go driving
- High mileage in a short time
- Tools, equipment, and work-related modifications
- Harsh job site conditions
If a normal warranty provider discovers the vehicle is used commercially, claims can be denied. That’s why choosing a warranty built for work vehicles is critical.
Commercial warranties are designed to:
- Handle higher stress levels
- Accept higher mileage
- Support heavier daily workloads
- Cover breakdowns caused by continuous business use
This is where AAG stands out—they specialize in real commercial protection.
Benefits for Businesses in Southwest Florida
Businesses in Fort Myers and the surrounding areas depend heavily on their vans and trucks. Whether you’re a contractor, service tech, mobile business, or delivery company, breakdowns can hurt your income. AAG warranties help you avoid unnecessary downtime and unexpected repair bills.
Benefits include:
Commercial repairs can cost thousands. A warranty absorbs much of that risk, giving you a stable and predictable cost structure.
Unlimited Mileage: A Game-Changer for Many Businesses
Most extended warranties end coverage once the vehicle reaches a certain mileage. AAG is different.
Their Unlimited mileage plan is one of the strongest in the industry—perfect for:
- Delivery businesses
- Contractors with long service routes
- Mobile technicians
- Real estate service companies
- Cleaning companies
- Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing contractors
- High-use business vehicles
- Companies that run vans from morning to night
Unlimited mileage means your coverage stays valid no matter how hard your business runs.
Level 4 Coverage: One of the Most Complete Plans Available
Level 4 is AAG’s most complete coverage option available for pre-owned commercial vehicles. While coverage varies based on the plan, Level 4 often includes:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Drive axles
- Transfer case
- Cooling system
- Fuel system
- Electrical components
- Air conditioning
- Suspension
- Steering components
This level of protection gives businesses confidence that major systems are covered far beyond what a basic warranty offers.
How I Help You Choose the Right Warranty
As your Fleet Business Manager, my job is not just to sell you a vehicle—it’s to help you protect your business after the sale. I help you:
- Understand your warranty options clearly
- Choose the best plan based on how you use your vehicle
- Decide whether Level 4 or Unlimited mileage is right for you
- Learn what is and isn’t covered
- Understand the warranty terms in simple language
- Make decisions based on your business goals
I take a personal approach with every customer because every business is different. A delivery company has different needs than an HVAC contractor. A mobile service tech drives differently than a construction team. Your warranty should match your real workload.
When Is an Extended Warranty a Smart Choice?
Extended warranties make sense when:
- Your business depends on its vehicles daily
- You can’t afford downtime or missed jobs
- You drive heavy miles
- You carry or tow heavy equipment
- You buy a pre-owned commercial vehicle
- You want to avoid large repair bills
- You value long-term peace of mind
- You plan to keep the vehicle for years
For many businesses, the cost of one major repair is more than the cost of the warranty itself.
When a Warranty Might Not Be Necessary
In a few situations, extended warranties may not be the best value:
- Large companies with their own mechanics
- Fleets that rotate vehicles frequently
- Businesses running brand-new vehicles still under factory warranty
- Vehicles used in specialized environments not covered by warranties
If you fall into any of these categories, I’ll tell you honestly.
How Strong Warranty Coverage Supports Your Investment
When you buy a pre-owned work van or truck from us, you already get:
- A 101-point inspection
- Full reconditioning
- Reliable options from Ford, Ram, Mercedes, Chevy, GMC, and more
- Access to commercial upfitting
- Flexible business and personal financing
Adding an extended warranty strengthens your long-term investment even further, keeping your business moving without interruption.
