Does your auto warranty restrict where you can go for your repairs?

Auto warranties come in many different shapes and sizes.  Some limit the locations where you can bring the vehicle for repairs under their coverage.  It’s safe to say that some consumers do not have a specific repair shop over a long period of time that they use but the most consistent customers probably go to a particular maintenance shop.  These contract holders are forced to find a new location that may not be comfortable or convenient for them.  An aftermarket auto warranty program that binds its contract holders to particular locations for auto repair can be quite a hassle on scheduling, travel distance, and the repair shop may not be as reputable as the local competition.

If you’re in the market for an automobile warranty that does not limit you on repair locations, be sure to read their fine print.  The bottom line is that you want to choose an auto warranty that allows you to pick you own repair shop.
