The aftermarket auto warranty is the warranty that you must buy from a service provider if you wish to get coverage on a vehicle that currently has none, or if you simply wish to extend the coverage period and coverage benefits to your vehicle.  While other warranties are issued free of charge by the manufacturers, dealers, or person who sells the car, the aftermarket auto warranty is an independent warranty that you can buy anywhere; it is not limited to the people who sell you the car.

When purchasing an aftermarket auto warranty however, there are certain things you need to consider.  Because it is a warranty that you must purchase, you should make sure that you obtain a money-back guarantee for a period agreeable upon by both parties.  This is because you need to ensure that the warranty is right for you and that it covers what you need covered in your car.  The best time to review the warranty is once you leave the service provider.  This is because the dealer usually tells you what you need to hear to buy the warranty, but may leave out certain other vital information that you would not pick up on unless you were fully knowledgeable in the matter.
