There are two different types of extended auto warranties. There are ones that are backed by the manufacturer and then there are ones that can be retrieved through an aftermarket auto warranty company.

An extended auto warranty that you get from a manufacturer consists of a large variety of repairs and services. Repairs performed on your car are generally done at a dealership that has been approved by the manufacturer. This means that you will not have any issues getting the repairs performed.

Extended auto warranties bought through an aftermarket company will cost a lot less money. This type of extended warranty will vary in price and in quality that will depend upon which company you choose to purchase from. As a result, it is very important for you to shop smart.

No matter where you get your warranty, always remember to do your research before making a purchase. Be sure to compare warranty quality and price before making a final decision.
