There are two different kinds of extended auto warranties. There are warranties that are retrieved through an aftermarket auto warranty company and warranties that are backed by the manufacturer.

An extended auto warranty that is bought through an aftermarket company will generally be more inexpensive. This type of extended auto warranty varies in quality and in price. The quality and price depends upon which company you decided to make a purchase from. Therefore, it is necessary to be a smart shopper.

An extended warranty that you get from a manufacturer consists of a variety of services and repairs. Repairs that are done to your vehicle are usually done at a dealership that was approved by the manufacturer.

Before making a purchase for any warranty, be sure that you do your research. Make comparisons of price and quality before coming to a final decision.
