Auto warranty is a service, which provides maintenance and repair for vehicles sponsored by the dealers of the vehicle for the set time period. During this time period the services provided by the manufacturers include the cost of maintenance as well as repairs of the car. The manufacturers of the vehicle bear the total responsibility of the car. However, not all parts are covered in this service. The best thing to do is check your contract and make sure you fully understand the coverage.

Generally, this warranty covers the vehicle’s power train, engine, drive train, steering system, brake mechanism, and other parts. The maintenance and the repairs of the replaced parts are carried out by the car manufacturers at free of cost under the period of warranty, that usually end for 2 years from the date of purchase of the vehicle. The warranty that is issued to brand new car is known as new car warranty, but the warranty that is issued to old and used cars are known as aftermarket auto warranty.
