Warranty is an assured service given by a product manufacturer to the customer. Under the US law, all consumer products have to be sold with a warranty. As per warranty rules, if the product develops any technical problem or mechanical snag during the first two or three years, it has to be rectified by the manufacturer. If the product is found to be defective, then it has to be replaced. This service has been evolved to protect the interests of the consumers and also to provide value for their money. Similarly, warranty is given to automobiles, called auto warranty. The auto warranty assures protection for vehicles from any wear or tear when the warranty period is in place.
Under the auto warranty, the vehicle manufacturer will repair and maintain the engine, power train, brake mechanism, steering system and drive train. The repairs are carried out by the auto dealer in association with a third party agent. However, the repairs or replacement of certain spare parts cannot be carried out under the warranty. This is possible only if the defect has occurred at the manufacturing level. Also, the spare parts and accessories damaged in road accidents cannot be repaired under warranty. Check with the local auto dealer for more details.
