Is my new car warranty enough?  The question races through your mind like a thoroughbred at the racetrack.  Is my new car warranty enough?  After you have spent your life’s savings on what could probably be the most expensive thing that you will ever own, the question still plagues your mind – is my new car warranty enough?  Quite differently though, we find that the majority of persons who do spend their life’s savings on the purchase of a new car do not even give the time of day to the thought of their new car warranty. 

 

A year later, however, your car stalls on you on the freeway as your radiator overheats.  You call your service provider for a tow to the repair shop.  Only now the question comes: is my new car warranty enough?  You try to remember what the salesperson had told you about your car warranty.  It is then that it occurs to you that your new car warranty had included roadside assistance services, and you search through your papers to find the toll free assistance number.  Where did I put the warranty again?  A year later and a little too late, you realize that your warranty provides roadside assistance for as long as your warranty is valid.  Also a year later, you begin to wonder what your warranty covers – do I have bumper to bumper warranty, or wear and tear warranty?  What is the cost to repair a radiator?  Can it be repaired, or must I replace it?  Should I have gotten an extended warranty, or at least made sure that I was covered for everything?
