Warranty refers to free maintenance service rendered by the car dealer up to a prescribed period from the date of sale. The warranty period could range between three months and three years depending on the choice of car owner. The duration of the warranty can also be decided on the basis of the miles covered by the vehicle.

 

Warranty takes care of the repair of cost of the vehicle if it suffers an engine or mechanical failure under the warranty period. However, new spare parts are not covered under the warranty.

 

Normally, repairs of engine train, power train, drive train, steering system, brake mechanism and others are undertaken under the warranty period. All these aspects are covered under a standard auto warranty.

 

There are three types of auto warranties . They are standard warranty, the middle segment warranty and the lifetime warranty. The middle segment warranty includes more features and additional coverage for the car.

 

The lifetime warranty is normally called ‘bumper-to-bumper’ auto warranty since it takes care of the entire car from the radiator to the boot space. Normally, ‘bumper-to-bumper’ auto warranty is expensive and costs more per year.

 

Make sure to read all the terms and services before choosing any warranty. Read between the lines and carefully select the auto warranty that will fit your needs since there are many features and services available.
