Warranty

Certainly! If you’re considering protecting your vehicle, an extended car warranty can be a great investment. Here’s why you might want to look into it:

Why Consider an Extended Car Warranty?

1. Peace of Mind: An extended warranty can provide peace of mind by covering unexpected repair costs after your original warranty expires.
2. Budget Protection: It helps you manage your repair costs with fixed payments, so you won’t have to worry about large, unexpected expenses.
3. Comprehensive Coverage: Many extended warranties cover a wide range of components, from the engine and transmission to the electrical system, often including roadside assistance and rental car coverage.
4. Increased Resale Value: A transferable warranty can make your car more appealing to buyers if you decide to sell it.
5. No Out-of-Pocket Costs: Depending on the plan, you might not have to pay for parts or labor during covered repairs.

Things to Consider

1. Coverage Details: Make sure you understand what’s covered and what’s not. Some warranties have exclusions or limitations.
2. Cost vs. Benefit: Compare the cost of the warranty against potential repair costs. Sometimes, it might be more economical to save the money and pay for repairs as needed.
3. Reputation of the Provider: Choose a reputable warranty provider with good customer reviews and support.
4. Transferability: If you plan to sell your car, check if the warranty is transferable to the new owner. If you’re interested in learning more or need help finding the right plan, I’d be happy to assist!

We offer several extended warranties.

Powertrain

In most cases, this warranty covers the transmission, engine and all related moving parts like CV joints, drive axle and timing belt. Some dealers will also toss in air bags and seat belts.

Bumper-to-Bumper

This warranty covers any part of the vehicle not protected by other warranties. Parts generally include audio systems, major electrical components and air conditioning. Be sure to check with your dealer for exact specifications. This warranty is also known as "New Car," "Factory Coverage" or "Premier Plus."

Full Coverage

This is the most comprehensive out of all warranties. It covers many major parts and often includes roadside assistance, towing, rental car reimbursement and common wear and tear. Despite the name, however, it does not cover all components. Be sure to read the fine print before signing.

Components

This is a good alternative to a full coverage policy, protecting designated components at a good price. Make sure you know exactly what the warranty covers, before you sign.

Roadside Assistance

This plan provides help with flat tires, dead batteries, towing and locked cars. Depending on your dealership this may be offered in the Bumper-to-Bumper package, or as a separate warranty.

Batteries

Bumper-to-Bumper warranties often cover batteries. Although some dealerships do offer separate battery warranties, usually lasting two to three years.

Hybrid Components

These warranties, as the name implies, cover hybrid components like HV batteries, battery control modules and hybrid assist motors. Coverage is lengthy, usually up to eight years and 100,000 miles.

Rust or Corrosion

This warranty covers you against rust-through problems with the vehicle's sheet metal. Protection usually comes with no mileage limits. In most cases, surface rust is not covered.

Emissions

There are two types of coverage: performance and design and defect. The performance warranty kicks in if your vehicle fails an emissions test during the first two years or first 24,000 miles. Some emission components, however, may be protected for up to eight years or 80,000 miles.

Design and defect protection is also good for two years or 24,000 miles, depending on which comes first. Under this warranty you're covered against manufacturing design defects.
