An auto warranty is a wise investment to make when purchasing a new car. New car warranties can provide four kinds of coverage:

1. One kind of coverage that you can receive is basic coverage. This is also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This kind of warranty covers the parts of the car from the front bumper to the back bumper.

2. A second kind of coverage that you can receive is a powertrain warranty. This covers the parts of the parts of the car that make it run such as the drive axels, driveshaft, the engine, and the transmission.

3. In addition, your auto warranty can cover corrosion and rust. This will deal with rust-through problems.

4. A last type of coverage that you can receive is roadside assistance. This service may be provided to you if your basic warranty is still active. This service provides you will professional assistance when you are stranded on the side of the road due to a vehicle breakdown. It provides you with a variety of useful services such as lockout assistance, flat tire assistance, towing, and refueling assistance.

If you want to be more familiar with the details of the coverage that is provided by your auto warranty, you can look at your warranty booklet or your owner’s manual. If you still do not believe that you have enough coverage and you want more, it is smart to consider purchasing an extended auto warranty.
