Auto 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.

The Coverage…
There are many different levels of coverage available.
Exclusionary Warranties – These are the highest level of coverage one can obtain and are often referred to as bumper-to-bumper warranties. Like a new car warranty, they will cover ALL parts of your vehicle except a small list of exclusions. The exclusions are typically for routine maintenance (oil changes, tune-ups), cosmetic items (seat fabric, carpeting, body molding), and consumable items (battery, brake pads, wiper blades). Read the exclusions carefully as they can differ widely among warranty contracts. Some companies will exclude commonly repaired items like stereo systems, oxygen sensors and more.

The Extended Warranty Contract…
There are as many variations in warranty contracts as there are models of cars. If you know where to look, comparing them is quite easy. Never take the marketing hype on a web site or the explanation of a salesperson as to exact coverage details. Read the contract – the devil is in the details.
Definitions…
Each car warranty contract will have a section called “Definitions”. The terms defined here are used throughout the contract. Knowing what they mean and what to look for will allow you to judge the level of coverage offered.
