How to make the best of your new car warranty
Â
A new car warranty should be sufficient enough to cover a new car from any unexpected failures or breakdowns that may occur in the first few years of ownership. Most people go on to purchase extended warranties for their new vehicles, but this is often unnecessary unless you cover a lot of mileage within the average day to account for your warranty miles. With every new car warranty purchase, you are also guaranteed roadside assistance to match the validity period of the new car warranty.
Â
You must be careful about following the requirements stipulated in your new car warranty upon purchase. Most warranties insist upon regular service maintenance at listed dealers only. If you were to even miss a single service checkup date, or inadvertently have a defect on your car repaired at an unlisted dealer while you are out of town, then you would automatically voided your warranty. In such a case, you would have unquestionably given up all rights to further warranty services and roadside assistance services provided by your dealer. You could continue service at the same dealers yourself, but the charges for these are often very expensive which makes finding an alternate dealer the better choice.
