Auto warranty means either the automobile manufacturer or dealer provides remedy to the vehicle owner or repairs the vehicle in case of a mechanical or electrical fault for a specific period of time from the date of sale. If the product is defective, the dealer or the automobile manufacturer has the obligation to replace it with a genuine product.

Auto warranty is a widely accepted practice in all countries. Any vehicle owner has the right to approach the court of law if the dealer or manufacturer violates the warranty agreement.

When buying a car or any vehicle, one has to make sure that auto warranty is offered along with the automobile. The warranty does not cover all spare parts or products, which are part of the car. For instance, vehicle clutch diagnosis and repair or wheel aligment diagnosis and correction do not come under the purview of warranty.

Some services are offered depending on the mileage covered by the vehicle. For instance, the warranty period can extend up to 35,000 miles for a particular service. In case of certain repairs, the warranty period can extend up to 5 years from the date of purchase. The period of warranty differs for each vehicle, depending on its category and date of purchase.
