Auto warranty is to car what life insurance is to humans. Auto warranty assumes responsibility when the car suffers a breakdown or experiences a mechanical failure. The warranty is responsible for replacement of spare parts and labor on the event of mechanical failure.

It is always good to have an auto warranty and the law too mandates its necessity on a compulsory basis. It has been evolved from the consumer point of view. But it is not free of disputes. Often consumers drag companies to the court of law for violating or breaching auto warranty laws.

There are various categories of auto warranty — fresh warranty for new purchase, used car warranty and extended car warranty. The best deal is the fresh warranty since the services included are more. The used car warranty has fewer advantages when compared to warranties offered to brand new vehicles.

At times, claims under warranty can be a cumbersome process. So make sure, you have the best offer. Some auto warranties come with roadside assistance. It is always better to go through thoroughly all offers under an auto warranty.

A vehicle owner has the opportunity to change the auto warranty agent if the service offered is found to be unsatisfactory.
