ByHow To Claim an Extended Warranty for Used Cars
An extended car warranty is a warranty plan you can purchase to ensure coverage of repairs and replacements of certain parts of your vehicle. The extended warranty covers a specific period or mileage and extends beyond the limited manufacturer warranty.
If you’re wondering whether an extended warranty for both new and used cars is worth it, we will help you make a decision and show you how to claim your warranty in five steps.
What Does an Extended Warranty Cover on a Used Car?
When looking for extended warranty companies, you need to be careful. The majority of extended warranty plans don’t cover the same parts that your original manufacturer warranty does. In most cases, extended warranties don’t even cover new tires, new brakes, oil change, etc.
You’ll know you’ve found the right extended warranty plan if it includes:
- Repair and replacement coverage
- Gas delivery
- Towing
- Diagnostic fee coverage
- Rental car services
- Roadside assistance
- Trip interruption service
