What Is an EPP?
An EPP is a special service agreement that gives you extra coverage for your equipment, like Cat machines. EPPs go beyond the standard factory warranty, offsetting the costs of parts and labor when repairs are needed. You receive fewer surprise repair bills, helping your operation prepare for more predictable expenses ahead of time. Plus, repairs are done by factory-trained technicians, ensuring your machines receive high-quality work.
How Does an EPP Work?
When you buy new Cat machines from Blanchard Machinery Company, we offer EPPs backed by Cat Financial to protect your investment for longer. Each EPP option gives you extra years and operating hours, which helps prevent those significant repair costs from affecting your budget.
You can choose from the following EPP coverage levels according to your requirements:
- Powertrain: Cover the components responsible for generating, transmitting or controlling engine horsepower.
- Powertrain + Hydraulic: Include coverage for both the powertrain and components associated with implement control and steering.
- Powertrain + Hydraulic + Technology: Receive the same coverage as the previous option, plus additional technology features like LINK, PAYLOAD, GRADE and COMPACT.
- Premier: Opt for the most comprehensive coverage to protect hydraulics, the powertrain and structural and electrical components.
Benefits of EPPs
Here are some advantages you can experience with an EPP:
- Reduce downtime: We will manage all covered repairs, ensuring that your equipment is serviced promptly. You get to minimize downtime, allowing you to keep your operations running smoothly and efficiently.
- Protect against inflation: By securing an EPP, you lock in the costs of parts and labor at today’s prices. This plan protects you from future price increases, helping you maintain budget predictability.
- Stay within budget: An EPP transforms the unpredictable expenses associated with repairs into a consistent budget item. It enables you to plan your finances more effectively, as you will know what to expect in terms of repair costs.
- Increase peace of mind: Knowing your repairs are covered means you can focus on your work without stressing about unexpected expenses.
- Consistent quality: All repairs are done using only authentic Cat parts by certified technicians, ensuring your machine runs reliably.
- Documented repair records: When it’s time to sell your equipment, having a detailed record of repairs can help you get a better price.
- Transferable plan: In many cases, an EPP can be transferred to the new owner if you sell the equipment within the same region, making your machine more appealing to buyers.
