Auto Warranty Rates Going Up Today

Warranty Direct Auto Warranty Rates are being increased today in order to reflect the rising costs of car repairs. Like so many other things in life, extended vehicle warranties fall into that category of “you get what you pay for” – so shop smart. Don’t let sticker price be your deciding factor. Look at what you actually get for the money and factor in the possible out-of-pocket costs that are likely to come along with a “bargain basement” plan.

Don’t Buy The Dealer’s Extended Warranty

Buy Warranties From Warranty Direct

According to US News & World Report, you don’t need to purchase a warranty the moment you buy the car. If you want one, you can easily buy it later from a reputable third-party company. “The dealer’s extended warranty isn’t necessarily the best deal; in fact, it usually costs more. Plus, you’re in a high-pressure situation at the dealer and might not be able to read the fine print. Finally, if you buy the dealer’s extended warranty, you might be required to return to that dealership to get it honored – which could become a problem if you move.” So contact Warranty Direct and buy direct from us and save.

Performing Online Research

iStock_000005537869XSmallAuto warranty buyers are smart to perform online research. Buyers should be able to make a well-informed decision when they buy a warranty for their vehicle and also make sure they buy their extended car warranties from a reputable company.

Independent Research Firms

A company’s transparency with their customers is key. During online research, searchers are bound to come across web sites that profess to perform “independent” research, when in actuality they are simply a portal site for an extended auto warranty broker. They’re easy to spot when they conveniently recommend only one “Editor’s Top Choice” throughout the site or blog while claiming to be an independent research firm. Often, these sites print misinformation about other warranty companies in an effort to fool the consumer.
