Warranty is a service rendered by the dealer towards repair and maintenance of the vehicle for a fixed period of time. The warranty takes care of the cost of the repair and replacement of minor spare parts. However, the warranty does not take care of the cost of certain parts. In a warranty, there are two categories. The first category is new car warranty, issued to brand new cars. The second category is aftermarket auto warranty, issued to used cars or pre-owned cars.

The new car warranty is issued by the vehicle dealer in association with a third party vendor. Before finalizing the warranty, evaluate at least six different offers from various third party vendors. The warranty takes care of the vehicle’s drive train, power train, engine, steering mechanism, brake mechanism and other technical aspects.
The new car warranty is available in two options. The first option is based on the distance covered by the car. It could be between 3,000 miles to 30,000 miles covered by the car from the date of its registration. The second category is the number of days. It could be between three months to 30 months. The warranty period will be available against these two options. It is recommended that a car owner opts for a flexible warranty. It will give the car owner the option of changing the warranty if the service provided is dissatisfactory.
