There are people that find themselves asking dealership departments if the service that was done on their car is covered by their auto warranty. There are people who make the assumption that their warranty covers the cost of maintenance and repairs despite maintenance requirements, vehicle mileage, and environmental conditions.

Your auto warranty is a contract that you have with your vehicle’s manufacturer. When you buy the warranty, you are required to do certain maintenance on your vehicle. The manufacturer only has an obligation to do repairs when you perform the required maintenance on your vehicle.

There are dealers that have carried out some controversial practices. As a result, manufacturers scrutinize every auto warranty very closely. Consumers generally see this as a way to get out of paying repair costs. However, consumers are usually unaware that the repair is not covered by the terms of their warranty. There could be many reasons for this. Some reasons include vehicle abuse, expiration, and parts that are not covered under the agreement.

Consumers need to scrutinize the terms of their warranty very carefully and know what is covered and what is not. Also, be aware of maintenance requirements because the manufacturer will only carry out their side of the agreement if you carry out your side.
