It’s not a matter of if — it’s a matter of when. Potholes, nails, road debris, parking lot door dings, and windshield chips are all part of daily driving in Northwest Indiana. TIREWise Plus® covers these repairs and helps you keep your vehicle looking like new, giving Merrillville-area drivers peace of mind from the moment they drive off our lot.

Coverage Details
Road Hazard Tire & Wheel with Cosmetic Protection
Unlimited repair or replacement of a covered tire or wheel damaged by contact with a road hazard — including cosmetic damage from curb rash. Coverage also includes tire pressure monitoring sensors on covered wheels, plus mounting, balancing, valve stems, and disposal on covered tires.
Paintless Dent Repair with Hail Deductible Benefit
Unlimited repair of minor dents, dings, and creases repairable using PDR techniques (non-hail damage). For hail events, TIREWise Plus® reimburses up to $1,000 toward your comprehensive insurance deductible — or the cost of repair, whichever is less.
Windshield Protection
Covers minor windshield cracks, chips, stars, or nicks caused by a road hazard and under 6 inches in length or diameter. If the damage can’t be safely repaired, TIREWise Plus® will reimburse up to $1,000 for windshield replacement.
Key/Key Fob Repair or Replacement
Covers repair or replacement of your vehicle’s key and key fob, replacement of additional keys on the ring, and home lockout service reimbursement. With key fob replacements running $200–$500+ at most dealerships, this coverage alone can pay for the plan.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
24/7 access to lockout assistance, spare tire service, towing, battery service, emergency fluid delivery, and winching — up to $150 per occurrence. One late-night tow on I-65 and this coverage has already earned its keep.
Alternative Transportation Coverage
Reimbursement for transportation expenses — including taxi and ride-share services like Uber and Lyft — up to $50.00 per day while your vehicle is being repaired under a covered claim.

Why TIREWise Plus® Matters for Used Vehicle Buyers
When you buy a pre-owned vehicle, factory tire and wheel warranties are typically expired. That leaves you responsible for the full cost of tire replacements, wheel repairs, key fob programming, and roadside emergencies. TIREWise Plus® fills that gap — covering the repairs that standard auto insurance doesn’t, from curb-rashed wheels to nail-punctured tires to cracked windshields.

| Flat tire at 11 PM on I-65 — $150+ tow bill | Covered — 24/7 roadside up to $150 |
| Hail storm dents your hood — $500–$1,000 deductible | Up to $1,000 deductible reimbursement |
For drivers in Merrillville, Gary, Crown Point, and Valparaiso — where winter potholes and construction-season debris are a fact of life — this coverage turns unexpected repair bills into a handled situation.
