Understanding The Provisions Of Your Extended Auto Warranty
By: Colin P
An extended auto warranty can be a confusing document for many
people. Indeed, there are very few people who actually completely
understand the terms and conditions -- and the requirements placed
on the consumer -- associated with an extended auto warranty. In
this article, the reader is provided with a general overview of
the standard terms and conditions associated with an extended auto
warranty.
By understanding the terms, conditions and provisions of an extended
auto warranty, you can determine if the added protection is right
for you. Do keep in mind that when you purchase a new automobile,
the manufacturer provides you with a relatively comprehensive warranty
at no additional charge. As a general rule, an extended auto warranty
expands the term that the manufacturer s warranty will remain in
place. For example, there are warranties available that will expand
the length of coverage from a standard three year term to five or
even ten years. (In some instances the extended warranty will also
broaden the items that are covered by at least some degree.)
When considering the purchase of an extended auto warranty, you
need to closely examine what precisely you will gain by paying additional
money for the added protection. As mentioned, the primary benefit
that can be had by purchasing most extended warranties is a lengthening
of the amount of time the automobile will be protected by the warranty
coverage. Extending the warranty may not make practical sense in
some situations. For example, if you have purchased a new automobile
that comes with a standard three year warranty coverage, you will
not want to obtain extended protection if you will not own the car
much beyond the three year term.
Some extended auto warranty plans also expand the breadth of coverage.
If you tend to be hard on a car, if you tend to incur a significant
number of bills for auto maintenance, repair and the like, an extended
and expanded warranty program that will provide broader coverage
may be a perfect idea for you.
There are a number of oftentimes overlooked elements associated
with an extended auto warranty that are extremely important. First
of all, many extended auto warranty plans require you to obtain
service work on your vehicle at a specific location. Many such plans
require you to obtain service work at the dealership or at another
specifically authorized service center. If you obtain service work
elsewhere, you may void or cancel the warranty all together.
Another common provision on most extended auto warranty plans oblige
you to obtain regular service on your vehicle within specifically
delineated timeframes. A failure to obtain such service will result
in the voiding or cancellation of the warranty.
In the final analysis, before you spend additional money on an extended
auto warranty, you need to take the time to weigh and balance the
costs and benefits, the obligations and recompenses that are associated
with the proposed warranty plan. By doing your homework in advance
of enrolling in any extended auto warranty plan you will make certain
that you elect the coverage that best meets your particular needs.
