SYM has been a pioneer in offering, since 2015, a five-year guarantee for its models over 50 cc, the result of confidence in products that meet the highest reliability standards. The brand also offers free insurance on its models in most of its range, which in addition to economic value, provides support and coverage for younger drivers.

This network has more than a hundred dealers and more than a thousand official services.

It also highlights the quality of transparent, simple and economical maintenance services (between 10 and 15% cheaper than the competition).
