Benefits of Bumper-to-Bumper Car Warranties

extended vs bumper-to-bumper vehicle warranties

What is an Extended Vehicle Warranty?

If you want lasting stability that surpasses the original manufacturer's warranty, then an Auto Warranty is a common service contract that gives that. Auto Warranties are typically available in two different forms, Powertrain and Bumper-to-Bumper. A Powertrain Warranty frequently only protects the transmission and engine from defects. While "Bumper-to-Bumper" Coverage might cover nearly every piece on your car (some exclusions apply). Auto Warranties will not cover service caused by negligent behavior and typically won't cover wear items like brake pads, air filters, engine oil, or tires. Bonuses like Travel Interruption Reimbursement, free satellite radio trial period, Rental Car Reimbursement, and even Roadside Assistance might even be part of your Extended Warranty, depending on the warranty you get.

Extended Vehicle Warranties: Pros and Cons

The pragmatic reason to get an Extended Vehicle Warranty is to save money. Without an Extended Warranty, if your vehicle's transmission system fails you might be liable for an extensive repair bill. With a Powertrain Warranty, the exact same repair bill may only call for a small deductible to be paid. The Extended Warranty would provide payment for the rest of the repair bill provided the failure and parts are included in the contract. If you trade-in your vehicles every few years an Extended Warranty will still be valuable but someone that keeps a vehicle for at least 5 years will see the largest reward. Even the most dependable vehicles can have parts deteriorate, due the miles and year. An Auto Warranty can ease the anxiety of vehicle ownership.

Customized Auto Warranties

An Extended Vehicle Warranty allows you to decide the warranty length for your vehicle. Traditional manufacturer warranties often offer a shorter bumper-to-bumper warranty and a longer powertrain warranty. By selecting an extended warranty you could extend the bumper-to-bumper warranty to equal the powertrain warranty and have the best possible coverage for your car. Our service technicians can help sift through the choices and choose the one that's best.
