American Cars are only second to Japan in reliability now, bringing warranty costs down.

Because American car companies are building better cars, the general public are submitting fewer warranty claims than in past years.  With fewer claims comes lower rates.

Other domestic automakers are scoring the same effects from the quality-obsessed teamwork approach. For General Motors Corp.’s domestic fleet, the number of warranty claims is down 36 percent over the last five years, according to spokeswoman Janine Fruehan. Warranty costs are down 21 percent.

This is great news for anyone with a domestic car.  Quality translates to lower warranty costs.  It’s a win-win situation.
