Extended service agreements pick up where factory warranties end, offering cost-effective protection against unexpected repairs. Now, members of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) can purchase extended service coverage for their motorcycles for less from ContegoDirect, one of the most-trusted companies in the business.

"Few things are more frustrating than waking up to a beautiful day with nothing to ride because your bike is sidelined for repairs," said Jim Moore, AMA director of business development. "With an extended service plan from ContegoDirect, you can sleep more easily knowing that if a covered breakdown does occur, you'll be back on the road with no additional out-of-pocket costs."

The AMA member benefit with ContegoDirect offers two discount levels. AMA members who are enrolled in the AMA's auto-renewal program receive a $50 discount on ContegoDirect policies. In addition, members who purchase a ContegoDirect policy within 90 days of purchasing or renewing their AMA membership also receive a $50 discount. Current AMA members who are not enrolled in the AMA's auto-renewal program will receive a $25 discount.

"The ContegoDirect product has been designed from the bottom up to deliver the highest levels of coverage at the lowest possible rates," said ContegoDirect President John Swiatek. "Our unique website technology allows AMA members to quote and purchase online without talking to a pushy salesman. Members also enjoy peace of mind knowing that claims are handled in a state-of-the-art customer service call center operated by the nation's leading powersports underwriter. It is truly the best of both worlds."

The ContegoDirect discount is just the latest in a long list of dozens of benefits and savings for AMA members. Another great value of membership is free AMA Roadside Assistance for members who sign-up for automatic renewal or purchase a three-year membership.
