Traditional car insurance policies only cover repairs to your vehicle if the damage is due to an accident. Engine failure falls under the category of wear and tear, and generally this is not covered by your auto insurance policy.
Does car insurance cover engine failures?
Answered by Home Insurance, Car Insurance Expert Alexah on February 25, 2021I haven't gotten into an accident or anything, but my car's engine is starting to break down. I do have car insurance. Will that cover the engine?

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
