An auto warranty is a smart investment to make if you buy a new car. New car warranties provide four different types of coverage:

1. One type of coverage that you can get is basic coverage, which is also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This kind of warranty provides coverage for the parts of the car from bumper to bumper.

2. A second type of coverage is a powertrain warranty. This warranty will provide coverage for the parts of the car that make it run. These parts generally include the engine, transmission, drive axels, and the driveshaft.

3. Also, your warranty can provide rust and corrosion coverage. This will cover rust-through issues.

4. A last kind of coverage that can be provided is roadside assistance. This service can be provided to you while your basic warranty is still active. This service provides you with professional help when you are stuck on the side of the road. It will provide you with helpful services such as towing, refueling assistance, flat tire assistance, and lockout assistance.

If you want to become more familiarized with the details of the coverage that is provided by your auto warranty, look at your owner’s manual or your warranty booklet. If you still do not think that you have enough coverage and that you want to have more, look into buying an extended warranty.
