Life can sometimes throw you curveballs, and so can vehicles and their issues. Without warranty coverage on mobile medical vans, you’re on the hook for repair costs. This can put a strain on your budget. Repairs may take longer without a warranty, and this can lead to operational downtime and disruption in your healthcare services. This can also lead to safety concerns that pose a risk to both drivers and patients.
The reliability and warranty package of the mobile medical vans that we manufacture at MoveMobility means your organization will have more confidence as you’re providing healthcare services to people around Canada. We’ve been in the industry for over 10 years, and you can trust that our workmanship and integrity will always put your organization and its vehicle first.
In this article, you’ll learn all about the warranty coverage on the mobile medical vans we offer at MoveMobility. Keep in mind that the OEM warranty content discussed in this article isn’t set by MoveMobility.
What’s the basic warranty coverage on mobile medical vans?
When you’re looking into getting a mobile health van for your program or organization, it’s super important to know about the warranty side of things. Let’s break it down for you, especially if you’re eyeing the ones we carry with the RAM Promaster chassis.
The manufacturer includes a warranty that lasts for 3 years or until you hit 60,000 kilometers on the road. This warranty is like a safety net for the chassis parts and related systems. It makes sure your mobile health van stays in tip-top condition.
Beyond the 3-year warranty, there’s a 5-year or 100,000-kilometer powertrain warranty. It covers the engine, transmission, and other internal components. As with most warranties, one limitation is that you require proof that you’re keeping up with the maintenance of the engine and transmission. Doing so will make your claim for warranty service much smoother.
Wear and tear: Brakes get their own 1-year or 20,000-kilometer warranty. If they wear out due to a manufacturing defect within this period, no worries, you’ll be sorted out with warranty service.
In this 1-year limited warranty, you’ll also get some extras in that warranty package:
- Bulbs
- Wiper blades
- Fuses
One important thing to note here is that tires play by their own rules. They’ve got a separate warranty from their manufacturer. To figure out the warranty on tires, you should consult with the manufacturer.
Bonus: Towing and roadside assistance
As a nice bonus, the OEM warranty package comes with towing and roadside assistance. If your van decides to call it quits or you need help on the road, the OEM service connected with RAM will arrange a tow. The tow will be for free during the whole factory warranty period.
What is the warranty on the van conversion itself?
At MoveMobility, we guarantee our mobile medical van conversions for three years or 36,000 miles/60,000 km (whichever comes first) from the purchase date. If there’s a problem due to defects during regular use, we’ll fix it at no cost.
Can the warranty be transferred to other future owners?
When you get one of our mobile medical vans, you also get a factory warranty that’s easy to share. If you ever decide to sell or transfer ownership of the van to someone else, guess what? The warranty tags along.
The new owner still gets all the warranty perks. So, if anything unexpected pops up, the warranty has their back.
Now, if you’re thinking about stretching that warranty even further with an extended one, there’s something you should keep in mind. Extended warranties don’t play by the same rules as factory warranties. They each have their own set of conditions that need to be followed. For more information on how warranties transfer, it’s helpful to talk to the warranty provider.
What limitations do warranties have?
When it comes to safeguarding your mobile medical van investment, having a warranty is a smart move. However, it’s equally important to be aware of the limitations and exclusions that come with your warranty package.
Use of non-OEM parts
What’s not covered: Under factory warranties, using non-original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts may void the warranty.
Tip: Stick to OEM parts to guarantee the warranty remains intact, providing continuous coverage for your mobile health van.
Improper maintenance
What’s not covered: Regular maintenance is important. Failure to service the van as recommended can have an impact on your warranty coverage.
Tip: Stay on top of routine maintenance to keep your mobile health van in optimal condition and maintain warranty protection.
Misuse
What’s not covered: If the van is used improperly or deviates from its intended purpose, resulting issues won’t be covered by the warranty.
Tip: Adhering to usage guidelines ensures the warranty remains valid and effective.
Physical damage
What’s not covered: Accidents, collisions, or any physical impacts are not within the scope of warranty coverage.
Tip: Taking proactive care of your mobile health van can prevent physical damage that won’t be protected by the warranty.
Being well-informed about your mobile health van warranty’s exclusions ensures you can maximize its benefits. When you understand what is and isn’t covered, you empower yourself to make decisions that preserve the longevity and reliability of your vehicle.
Does the warranty cover incidental and consequential damages?
When it comes to your mobile health van warranty, there’s something important to keep in mind: it usually doesn’t cover certain types of damages called incidental and consequential damages. Let’s break down what that means in simpler terms.
Incidental and consequential damages are not the usual bumps and bruises on your van. Instead, they’re things that happen because your van has a problem. Here are a few examples:
- Lost time: Time spent dealing with van troubles
- Inconvenience: Disruptions to your schedule or plans.
- Loss of vehicle use or replacement: Being without your van and the costs associated with that.
- Loss of revenue: Financial setbacks due to van-related problems.
- Travel interruption: Disruptions to planned trips or mobile health services.
What does an extended warranty cover on mobile medical vans?
Considering adding an extended warranty to your mobile medical van in Canada? It’s a thoughtful choice, bringing additional advantages beyond the standard factory warranty. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of an extended warranty.
Unlike the basic warranty, the extended warranty provides an extra layer of protection. Think of it as an added security measure that enhances your ownership experience.
Transportation assurance: Should your health van require repairs, the extended warranty ensures you won’t be stranded. Instead, you’ll be provided with a rental vehicle during the repair period. The rental vehicle may not be exactly the same as your original vehicle, and what you get depends on availability.
Trip cancellation support: Life is unpredictable, and sometimes planned trips need to be canceled due to circumstances you’d never see coming. The extended warranty offers trip cancellation coverage, providing financial protection in case of unexpected events. An example of this is something like a natural disaster occurring that’s fully out of your control.
Talk to a mobility expert to consider opting for the extended warranty to boost the reliability and convenience of your health van as you navigate the Canadian terrain.
