After-market auto warranty refers to a warranty issued to used cars sold by dealers in the used car market. Auto warranty refers to a service offered to a vehicle owner by the used car dealer in association with a third party vendor. It takes care of the repair and maintenance cost of the vehicle for a specified period of time. However, it does not cover the replacement and repairs of expensive spare parts of the vehicle.
Normally, used car dealers should offer four different packages to the car buyer. Make sure to review the after-market auto warranty packages before selecting the final offer. Review is of the utmost importance since the offers include various features. Read the features carefully since there are some hidden costs.
After-market auto market warranty packages come in terms of a period of months or mileage covered by the car. You can choose either of them, which ever is flexible. Beware of fraudulent offers. Sometimes, the features included in the offer are not extended. You are liable to pull the agency to the court. To avoid such circumstances, review the package carefully. Besides, customers are protected against fraud in the US which is normally called the lemon law.
Always choose a flexible offer since you can change the agency if the service rendered is not up to the expected level.

After-market auto warranty
Auto warranty refers to a service rendered by a dealer in association with a third party vendor to repair and maintain the vehicle for a specified period time. The warranty covers the repair and maintenance cost relating to engine, drive train, power train, brake mechanism and steering system. However, it does not cover the cost of replacing expensive spare parts. After-market auto warranty refers to the warranty extended to used cars.
The after-market auto warranty is different from the warranty offered to brand new cars. The after-market auto warranty is extended at the time of delivery of the used car from the auto mart. There are various after-market auto warranties available in the market. Normally, the dealer partners up with the third party vendor to offer the service.
There is a separate tariff package for each of the offers. The offers range between short duration to long duration. It also depends on the mileage covered by the vehicle. It is always good to opt for a flexible package, which covers all aspects of the vehicle. The most popular after-market auto warranty is the bumper-to-bumper package, which takes care of the entire car. The auto warranty can be compared to a life insurance package. Always review different packages of auto warranties before deciding on one.

Most of the manufacturers of a vehicle offer a warranty with the purchase of the vehicle. Unfortunately the warranty is limited to a certain time period or a limit of mileage. After the manufacturers warranty expires all the repairing and unexpected breakdown costs have to be paid by the buyer of the vehicle. Maintenance cost keeps on rising higher and higher and you need to keep shelling out money to pay for the repairs. In such cases the best option is an After Market Auto Warranty. The aftermarket auto warranty program takes effect when the warranty period of the new car expires. With this aftermarket auto warranty program, various dealers of auto companies have experienced significant customer growth.
Many think that car insurance can fulfill this purpose, but this is not the case. Most of the car insurances cover costs in case of an accident and have an entirely separate option of maintenance and repair coverage. Opting for an After Market Auto Warranty seems to be an intelligent choice since these warranties can actually get you a discounted cost on repairs or spare parts that need to be replaced, which will save you more money in the long run.

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.

The aftermarket auto warranty is also known as a warranty. It is the only warranty that can be used to fill the gaps or limitations imposed or left by other types of warranties. However this comes at a price. While you should never be asked to pay for a new car warranty, the aftermarket auto warranty has to be purchased – that is the only way that you can gain coverage from an aftermarket auto warranty. This warranty has also been referred to as a service contract – you get what you pay for out of the contract and nothing more or nothing less.
Â
The aftermarket auto warranty is able to extend the coverage period of an existing warranty like the new car warranty or the used car warranty. For example, if your used car warranty is to expire some six months after the date of purchase, then you could purchase an aftermarket auto warranty for an additional three years. Note however that the aftermarket warranty can only become valid once the original warranty coverage period has passed in such a case.Â

The aftermarket auto warranty is designed to protect your car, or more specifically to protect you when your car breaks down or wears down. It is a warranty or a service contract that is bought at an additional price to the vehicle purchase and it differs from all other warranties for the said reason – it is the only warranty that you must purchase. It is also the only warranty that you can get at any other time after the first purchase of the car; more so, you can purchase this warranty at any other dealer or service provider different to the dealer that you buy the car from.
The aftermarket auto warranty is different from all other warranties also for the very reason that it is not really a warranty. Since you are paying for this coverage, you could say that it becomes more of a guaranteed service that is valid for the terms of purchase agreed upon. Most times this term of purchase simply means the type of coverage (limited or fully comprehensive), the period of coverage, or the distance covered in terms of mileage. The aftermarket auto warranty is simply designed to extend the coverage of an existing warranty or to provide coverage for a vehicle where there formally existed none.

Buying a car is a luxury for many. Many have to wait for many years saving every dime, or opt to apply for loans with high interest rates. And still the car continues to incur costs if there is an unexpected break down or mechanical failure.
Even the best car can break down, or some major parts might not work as efficiently as it should. Usually car insurance will provide for repairs only in the case of accidents. For minor or major repairs or maintenance costs there is another option. This is where warranty services are needed. Though the car companies might provide warranties, third party warranties or an aftermarket auto warranty is needed. These warranties can actually get you a discounted cost on repairs or spare parts that need to be replaced, which will save you more money in the long run.
Whatever the warranty may be, careful consideration of the warranty details will help you in times of need. Many warranties might not cover major repairs or replace imperative parts. If you are looking to have these cost covered then you should consider the benefits of a bumper-to-bumper warranty.

At the time of buying a car, an auto warranty is provided by the company. Under this warranty, cost of all the repairs and services of the car is covered. But once the car is used for certain mileage, this auto warranty expires. For such vehicles, an extended car warranty or an aftermarket auto warranty can be purchased. This aftermarket warranty is provided by the car insurance company that offers various attractive and beneficial packages when your car meets a failure.
An aftermarket warranty can be bought through the original dealer or from the insurance company. In both circumstances there are some factors that need to be considered. The option of buying the warranty from the dealer is considered a better one because in this case it becomes easy to renew or sustain the contract in the future. But a major drawback is also attached to the option of buying from the dealer. The warranty bought from the dealer usually tends to be more expensive. It may also cover less than the warranty bought from the insurance company. But regardless of all this, it is always better to research about the insurance and the company’s options before investing in an aftermarket warranty.

Auto warranty reviews refer to a mandatory practice that has to be carried out by every car owner before purchasing the auto warranty. This exercise helps the car owners choose what is best for them.Â
Before taking delivery of the car from the dealer, ask for at least four offers of auto warranty packages. The four offers will be of different price ranges and varied benefits. There are usually three categories of auto warranty depending on the time period and mileage covered by the vehicle. The period ranges between three months and three years. In terms of mileage, the period ranges between one thousand mile and three thousand miles. Evaluate the offer carefully before selecting the warranty package.Â
If you find it difficult to review or select the auto warranty, employ the services of a consultant. The consultant will review the auto warranty packages and select an ideal package for the car owner.Â
Also, there are publications that publish reviews of auto warranties. The publications are available at all car dealers. Insist for the review publications before selecting the package. The publications contain reviews of all auto warranties offered by various firms. Read each review carefully before taking a call on the package.

Aftermarket Auto Warranty is a useful service contract to have regardless of if you recently purchased a new vehicle or a used vehicle. It is a warranty contract that offers you additional coverage on an existing policy.Â
Â
For new cars, it provides coverage beyond the time frame covered by your manufacturer’s warranty. In addition, it can provide additional coverage for the claims not covered by your manufacturer’s warranty.  The aftermarket auto warranty is purchased separately from the manufacturer’s warranty, and before purchase, you should carefully review all clauses and commitments within the contract. The aftermarket auto warranty is available from independent service providers different to your dealer or auto manufacturer.Â
Â
For used cars, the aftermarket auto warranty provides additional vehicle coverage where the manufacturer’s warranty is void or is due to expire shortly after the purchase date. In such cases, it extends you vehicle coverage for the period specified in the service contract. Unlike the manufacturer’s warranty, you have to pay for the additional coverage provided by the aftermarket auto warranty.
Â
Before you purchase an aftermarket auto warranty, you must consider if it is worth the extra money that you are paying for it. Only if you can be sure that you would be required to claim for any coverage within the period of ownership is the aftermarket auto warranty a good choice for you.Â
