Extended Warranties: Top Benefits

Bumper-to-Bumper vs Powertrain vs Extended Warranties

If you desire extended security that exceeds the manufacturer warranty, then an Auto Warranty is an optional service contract that confers that. Bumper-to-Bumper and Powertrain are the two typically obtainable Extended Warranties. A Powertrain Warranty commonly only protects the engine and transmission from failure. Almost every piece on your car can be covered in “Bumper-to-Bumper” Coverage (some exceptions apply). Replacement service caused by careless behavior and wear items like brake pads, air filters, engine oil, or tires typically are not covered by Auto Warranties. Bonuses like A free satellite radio trial period, Rental Car Reimbursement, Roadside Assistance, and Travel Interruption Reimbursement might even be part of your Extended Auto Warranty, depending on the contract you buy.



Are Extended Warranties Worth It On New Vehicles?

Saving money on costly repairs is the normal reason to choose an Extended Auto Warranty. Without an Extended Vehicle Warranty, if your engine system fails you might be on-the-hook for a pricey repair. The exact same repair bill may just call for a small deductible to be paid, if you have a Powertrain Extended Warranty. The Extended Auto Warranty would take care of the rest of the bill provided the problem and components are included in the contract. If you change your vehicles a lot an Extended Warranty will still be advantageous but someone that keeps a vehicle for at least 5 years will see the best reward. Even the most dependable cars can have components degrade, due the miles and year. An Extended Auto Warranty can lessen the worry of vehicle ownership.

Personalized For Your Vehicle

An Extended Vehicle Warranty lets you decide the warranty length for your vehicle. Traditional manufacturer warranties often offer a longer powertrain warranty and a shorter bumper-to-bumper extended warranty. By selecting an extended warranty you could prolong the bumper-to-bumper warranty to match the powertrain warranty and have the most coverage for your car. Our professionals can help sort through the choices and find the one that’s best for you.
