Protects you from the rising cost of mechanical and electronic repairs to your vehicle. Tricare Ultimate Protect ensures worry-free ownership for years and kilometres to come and shields you from the cost of unexpected repairs beyond the manufacturer’s original warranty. Added benefits include roadside assistance, substitute transportation allowance and a fast, efficient claims process.
Protection From Unexpected Repairs
It’s comforting to know that having this coverage will protect you from inflation and the ever-rising cost of mechanical or electronic repairs. Tricare Ultimate Protect allows you to enjoy your vehicle worry-free for years and kilometres to come. The average Canadian driver will own their car well beyond the expiry of the manufacturer’s limited warranty coverage. Today’s vehicles are loaded with sophisticated mechanical, electronic and computer systems. When any of these systems fail, the cost of repairs is always unexpected and most people do not budget for these large expenses.

Tricare TCX Paint Protection
Our advanced Carbon Polymeric Paint Coating offers the best exterior paint protection available in the industry. Tricare TCX is an eco-friendly exterior paint treatment free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and specifically formulated to bond directly to your vehicle’s clear-coat finish.
Professionally applied by trained technicians, this protection provides a lasting protective barrier and creates a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that resists adhesion and protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Tricare CeramX Paint Protection
Tricare CeramX is the next evolution in maintaining any vehicle’s paint finish. Our specialized Silicon Carbide Ceramic Coating was engineered by the same scientist that brought clear-coat technology to automotive paint. As such, our formulation has been specifically designed to activate with the clearcoat of any vehicle, forming a more hydrophobic durable extension of its paint instead of residing on top as many other silicon dioxide ceramic and polymer products do.
Both Tricare TCX and Tricare CeramX protect against permanent paint damage from:
- Tree sap
- Bird droppings
- Insects
- Road tar
- Acid rain
- Industrial fallout
- Oxidation and loss of gloss
A one-time, permanent treatment for interior surfaces of the vehicle, including seats, armrests, headrests, carpets, dashboards and door panels.
The special formula works equally well on both leather and fabric and does not change the natural feel or look of your interior. It provides a powerful and invisible barrier that remains effective even after numerous spills.
The treatment protects your vehicle’s interior against permanent stains from food, beverages, oil, grease, urine or similar liquids. As an added bonus, it includes coverage for accidental rips, tears and burns on seats, headrests, interior cloth, carpets and the dashboard.
The Tricare Cosmetic Rust Warranty is automatically applied with the purchase and application of both the Electromagnetic Corrosion Protection Module (TC-4000 or BHP-5000) and TCX Paint Protection.
What our warranty includes:
2-part warranty: The first part of the warranty is defined as a paint bubble on the painted outer-body sheet metal panel where no rust and/or bare metal is showing and the paint is not broken, cracked, split, chipped, peeled, delaminated, flaked, worn off or missing around or leading up to the paint bubble.
The second part of this warranty coverage is defined as surface rust damage where the paint is missing, and the surface rust area is at least two centimeters in diameter or larger. The covered areas of your vehicle are the outer-body sheet metal panels — ones that are finish-painted and that someone can see when walking around the vehicle. These areas are the roof, rear quarter panels and front fenders. The doors, engine hood, trunk lid and tailgate are also covered for paint bubbling and cosmetic rust damage that is visible from the exterior of the vehicle, when these panels are in their closed position.
Protects You From the Risk of Negative Equity
Negative equity occurs when the amount still owing on the finance contract is greater than the amount paid out by your insurance company in the event of a total loss. This difference is often referred to as the “GAP.”
A vehicle can be declared a total loss when:
- The cost to repair it exceeds the assessed value of the vehicle
- The vehicle is so damaged that repairing it is deemed unsafe
- The vehicle is stolen and not recovered
In the unfortunate event your vehicle is deemed a total loss, Tricare Loss Protect saves you from incurring large out-of-pocket expenses by covering the “GAP” between what your insurance company pays and the balance you may owe on your finance contract.

Protect Your Vehicle From Theft
The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) theft analysts suspect that many vehicles are targeted as part of a trade-based money-laundering scheme. The 20% recovery rate of stolen vehicles indicates the involvement of organized crime rings who commit auto thefts, and use the proceeds to fund criminal activities.
Thieves generally steal vehicles for one of three reasons:
- To sell abroad: Stolen vehicles are often shipped abroad, where they are sold for many times their original market value.
- To sell to unsuspecting consumers: Stolen vehicles may be given a false vehicle identification number (VIN) and then sold to unsuspecting consumers. These vehicles can also be dismantled and sold for parts.
- To commit another crime: Stolen vehicles used to commit other crimes are often recovered—abandoned and badly damaged—within 48 hours of their theft.
Thieves Avoid Vehicles That Are Traceable
Replacing the etched components of the vehicle is too time-consuming and too expensive to be profitable.
BUT if your vehicle is stolen
- A Benefit of $3,500 This benefit is paid should your vehicle be stolen and not recovered in 30 days, or if the vehicle is recovered but is damaged to the extent it is determined to be a total loss.
- 5% Discount In the event your vehicle is stolen and recovered in a damaged condition but is not a total loss, you will be entitled to a 5% discount (maximum value of $500) on vandalism repairs at your issuing Tricor dealership.
- Reimbursed for Actual Expenses If you are travelling more than 150 kilometres from your home and your vehicle is stolen, you will be reimbursed for actual receipted expenses as follows, provided a replacement vehicle is acquired:- $30 per day for substitute transportation for a maximum of 20 days- $80 per day for room and board for a maximum of 5 days
- Airfare If your vehicle is stolen more than 750 kilometres from your home, you will be entitled to reimbursement for a one-way airfare ticket (maximum value of $600).
