An auto warranty is a smart purchase to make when investing in a new car. New car warranties can provide four types of coverage for your vehicle:

1. The first type of coverage that you can get is basic coverage, which is also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This type of warranty covers all parts of the car from the back bumper to the front bumper.

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

3. Also, your auto warranty can cover rust and corrosion. This handles rust-through issues that you may encounter.

4. A last kind of coverage that you can get is roadside assistance. This service may be given to you if you have an active basic warranty. It provides professional assistance to you when you are stuck on the side of the road as a result of a vehicle breakdown. It provides many useful services like refueling assistance, towing, lockout assistance, and flat tire assistance.

If you want to further familiarize yourself with the details of the coverage that are in your auto warranty, look at you owner’s manual or warranty booklet. If you think that you still do not have enough coverage and decide you need more, it is a good idea to look into purchasing an extended auto warranty for your car.
