Auto warranty refers to repair and maintenance service offered by the car dealer as prescribed under the federal law for a particular period from the date of the sale of the car. The warranty period, normally, ranges between three months and three years or for a maximum of three thousand miles covered by the car. 

The auto warranty package comes for repair, maintenance and service of major aspects of the car like power train, engine, drive train, steering system and brake system. The price varies from package to package. The best of the packages is the ‘bumper-to-bumper’ warranty. This is equivalent to the ‘life insurance’ of the car since it completely takes care of the car. However, it is more expensive when compared to other packages. 

Before taking delivery of the car, review the auto warranty packages offered by various firms. Review at least four packages before selecting the best. It is better to go in for warranty period of one year for a brand new car. For, the car owner has the option of changing the warranty if the service delivered by the first auto warranty firm is unsatisfactory. 

Follow the same auto warranty tips while purchasing a warranty for used cars to ensure that fraudulent warranties are not purchased.
