If you just purchased a new car, it is a good idea to purchase an auto warranty. New car warranties offer four types of coverage for your car:

1. One type of coverage you can get is a basic, or bumper-to-bumper warranty. This covers all parts of the car from bumper to bumper.

2. Another type of coverage you can get is a drivetrain, or powertrain warranty. This will cover all of the parts that make your car run. Such included parts are, the driveshaft, the engine, the drive axles, and the transmission.

3. You can also get coverage for corrosion or rust. This will cover rust-through problems.

4. The last type of coverage you can get is roadside assistance. This may be a service that is provided for you while you have an active basic warranty. It provides services such as flat tire assistance, towing, lockout assistance, or assistance when you run out of gas.

To familiarize yourself the all of the details of the coverage you can receive from your warranty, check your owner’s manual or warranty booklet. If you still are concerned that you are not being provided with enough coverage, it is smart to look into purchasing an extended warranty or aftermarket auto warranty.
