What we’re about

An auto warranty is a guarantee that we’ll take care of your car if anything goes wrong with it. We provide an extensive amount of warranty programs for you to choose from. For example, we offer a powertrain warranty, which include most engine parts. The parts you usually don’t see from day to day, like the drive shaft or steering axel. Then, we offer a component warranty plan. We cover many different components of your car, which would include many engine parts but also interior and exterior parts. We also have a coverage plan called bumper to bumper. This is the plan we pride ourselves in. If you want the complete coverage of almost anything you could thing about, then you want our bumper to bumper plan.

We offer all three of these warranty choices for new and used cars, and these warranty plans can be customized to meet your needs. Your factory warranty does not even come close to covering the things your car like our warranty programs do. So, if you want peace of mind about your auto, give us a call at 1.800.419.3499, or get a quote from our website.

Hybrid News From Ford

June 29th, 2006 by admin

Ford changes promise

A few months back, Bill Ford promised that his company, Ford Motor co., would produce 250,000 hybrids by 2010. However, now it seems that Ford is rearranging their promise.

Ford is now not promising any number of hybrids at all. Ford has changed their focus. Now, they’re promising  2 million alternative fuel vehicles by 2010. So, instead of completely catching the hybrid fever, they’ll just be producing more cars that use E85 and other bio fuels. 

Ford stated in the email that the Blue Oval will focus more on other fuels like ethanol, clean-diesel and bio-diesel. In conjunction Ford is announcing a partnership with VeraSun Energy today to create an "ethanol corridor" with 50 new E85 pumps between Kansas City and Chicago.


Ford does still plan to produces a hybrid Mazda Tribute, a hybrid Ford Fusion, and a Hybrid Mercury Milan in 2008.

Auto Industry’s Innovation

June 28th, 2006 by admin

Ford tries something new

Everyone knows that the auto industry is not exactly a bed of roses right now.  Thus, companies are pulling out all the stops when it comes to innovation and new ideas. While in last place, Ford is trying the most "innovative" approach, www.fordboldmoves.com. Boldmoves is a documentary style website that’s "behind the scenes" style deep within the ranks of Ford. The website is a nifty advertising scheme that, in theory, could get people interested in Ford’s business model.

I’m sure, however, that the documentary style is not so documentary. Usually in unscripted an documentary you end up with things like "The Office" in real life, and I’m sure Ford will not allow others to see the nuts and bolts of the company like we would wish. To an extent, I’m sure the "documentary" is fairly scripted. But, who knows, it’s new; maybe boldmoves will prosper and become a interesting piece of work.

Auto Industry is still Waning

The Portuguese Plant is Closing

GM is closing another major factory. The factory is in Portugal and it will close Oct. 31 of 2006. GM is constantly searching for ways to increase the profitability of the plant, but it seems that that’s not going to happen.  Gerald Johnson, GM’s Europe director, announced the closing in a newspaper report on Friday.

Gerald Johnson said in the letter, reportedly sent to union representatives, that GM had delayed its decision to close the factory because the Portuguese government had asked for time to find a solution for making the Combo production unit more profitable, the newspaper said.


Though Johnson has already stated the plant will close, the Portuguese government is doing everything they can to ensure it doesn’t close because it is a big source of revenue for them.

Workers in Portugal and Germany walked out of plants earlier this month in protest after reports that the troubled company might cut jobs in Western Europe.


America is not the only country that’s hurting because of mismanagement in a few big companies. Germany and Portugal’s families have been hurt from layoffs and other things that sprung from our economy difficulties

New York City Switches to Hybrid Taxis

June 26th, 2006 by admin

Hybrid technology makes a big impact in New York

extended warrantyNew York City is expanding their hybrid-electric cabs this year. Soon NYC will have more hybrid cabs than regular cabs, which will save them a magnificent amount of money.

The all new hybrid taxis can achieve more than double gas mileage of the original taxis. The brand of hybrids range from a small Toyota Prius or a nice Lexus Rx 400h.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission wasn’t sure if cab drivers would embrace the new technology, so it opened the bidding at discounted prices as an incentive.


For the Taxi and Limousine commission to afford to be able to afford hybrids, they actually auction off the rights for people to operate them, and this year’s auction was the highest auctions ever. One person paid $554,147 to operate a cab.

So, with NYC converting to hybrids, how long will it be until other cities change to hybrid too?

VW’s Restructuring Underway

June 23rd, 2006 by admin

VW is laying off 6,000 workers

extended warrantyEveryone’s favorite German engineered car, VW, is going to be cutting jobs at their Brazilian plant. VW will be cutting 6,000 jobs to increase profitability; the workers that will be cut will be from the Metal Workers Union.

Volkswagan announced last May that there would be a restructuring plan that would take place. The restructuring would also reduce production for the exporting market.  So far, the negotiations between VW and their workers have been on the rocks; however, VW is offering volunteer retiring program for their employees, which if I guess correctly, is probably better than what most American auto companies offered to their employees during restructuring.

So, it looks like even foreign car manufacturers are susceptible to loss too. While Toyota is adding workers and plants by the month, everyone else seems to be stagnant or in decline.

Ford’s self proclamation of success

June 22nd, 2006 by admin

Ford stresses that they’re really going to make their goal

Just yesterday I talked about how analysts did not believe Ford was going to make their 2008 goal of being a profitable company. Well, I think analysts still believe Ford will not make it, but Mark Fields, Ford’s president of Americas, believes they’re right on track.

He admits that they’re behind in some areas, but in other areas, he claims, Ford is way ahead of the game. So, that, in his mind, puts Ford in an “ok” position.  

Like I said before, analysts still don’t believe Ford will make that goal. They say this because a weak inventory of new vehicles and a weary product strategy.

Ford has a lot of work to do. They’re supposed to be “innovation” driven, but it seems they’re still relying on large SUVs and trucks to keep them afloat. The buoyancy of their business is dependant upon a style of car that is becoming too expensive to drive and frowned on because of environmental issues.

Maybe Ford will stop trying to be “innovative” in their eyes and really become innovative. They’ve become innovative to their own definition, but I think their definition could be a tad off.

Ford’s Automotive Future at Risk

June 21st, 2006 by admin

The auto industry struggles some more

Back when Ford Motor Co. stated that they would cut 30 thousand jobs, William Clay Ford Jr., chief CEO and great extended warrantiesgrandson to Bill Ford, announced that, in 2008, Ford would be back on their feet (maybe you can guess where I’m going with this article).

It seems, however, that Mr. Ford Jr. might be eating his own words about having the company back on track by 2008. The reason, or at least part of it, is the declining sales of SUVS. The explorer SUV dove 27 percent, and the expedition fell 30 percent, while gas prices rose 34 percent.  Not many people are buying SUVs because of economical concerns and high gas prices. And, since Ford’s flagship car was the explorer, there are major problems.

Restructuring a company is a difficult task; however, it seems that the company is doing a good job at cutting jobs. While Ford announced they would cut 30,000 jobs in x amount of years, they’re actually ahead with that statistic.

Ford’s rival, GM, is looking better. GM’s restructuring plan is actually showing progress; because, their money-making-cars were not SUVs. Toyota, on the other hand, is thriving. Toyota can’t stop 10 min from building new factories and producing cars in the US.

The future of Ford is based on the dependence that Ford will “innovate” with cars that actually make money and people want. Times have changed, hence, companies, including Ford need to change. The auto industry is going through major changes, I sure hope the company Ford is build Ford Tough
