Do you know what your auto warranty service covers? A lot of people don’t. They assume that, since they have a warranty, pretty much everything on the car is covered and will be replaced for free. Hey, my headlight broke? No big deal, it’s covered under the warranty, right? Well, when you pull into the service bay to get it replaced, and afterwards they hand you a bill for fifty dollars, it is a bad time to find out that no, that particular item is not covered.
The best time to figure out what is covered by your auto warranty and what is not covered is now, before something goes wrong with your car. You want to have a full understanding of what the auto warranty means, what repairs you will be on the hook for, and if there are options to improve your situation. If you have an extended warranty, you might be able to upgrade your services. And if you have a standard manufacturer’s warranty now, you ought to know when it expires and how to sign on for an auto warranty before then.
Doing these self-check steps now on your auto warranty could save you thousands of dollars in the long run, and a lot of headaches.
