While doing some digging online yesterday, I came across the BG Lifetime Protection Plan and a breakdown of how to qualify and remain eligible for coverage. There are two plans that differ slightly and start at 0-36,000 miles or 36,001-75,000 miles. This is the base coverage plan that is started by your free oil change (if you own a 2010-2011 Saab) offered at participating Saab Service Centers.
I also dug a little further and found a complete breakdown of the program and how to maintain your coverage and put that into a pdf format. I sent this off to SPNA and was told that the info I have is the same that they have and that it is in for final approval before being sent out to the dealer network which means it could change a little but this is the coverage as noted from the BG information I could find.
It is important to note that the SPNA team is about 20 between the main office and the warehouse. All of them are one person operations. In other words, a marketing and comm’s department run by one person. Another person is the IT department, etc. One person doing it all for each area of the operation. Trying to stay lean and cost effective as they start-up.
Sit back and read it at your leisure, there is lots to read. I hope this helps.

Now the meat of it all and what is important to anyone thinking this could take the place of a warranty. If you have or are considering a warranty, I would say to keep it or to look into buying one because there is still more to cover then what the SAAB Secure will cover. This is a great plan that as long as you do proper maintenance, you will have some coverages that up to now you did not.
