Used car warranty is a service under which the vehicles are entitled to free repair and maintenance for a period of time from the date of its sale. The service will be rendered by the auto dealer in association with the vehicle manufacturer. The warranty covers the replacement of minor faulty spare parts. However, it does not cover the cost of the replacement of major faulty spare parts.

Used car warranty is issued to pre-owned cars or cars sold in the aftermarket. Normally, the price of used car warranty is higher when compared to the new car warranty considering the age of the vehicle. The warranty takes care of the vehicle’s drive train, power train, brake mechanism, engine and other major elements. Additional features for coverage under warranty can be included in the package. However, such an exercise will increase the price of the warranty.
Always hire an auto consultant before purchasing a used car warranty since there are plenty of fraudulent warranties in circulation in the market. These fraudulent warranties promise a host of services, which are hardly delivered. The car owners are protected against such fraudulent warranties under the US law. It is also called as the lemon law because of its protective nature.
