If you purchase a new vehicle you generally wouldn’t expect issues to arise early on in the vehicle’s lifetime. Major issues can be very costly. For example, an engine replacement can cost more than $2,000 dollars. If you have a good extended auto warranty program, you will not have to worry about repair costs. The question is, how do you select a good auto warranty company?

Many people think that they have to purchase an extended warranty from the selling dealer when they purchase a vehicle. However, this is not true and it can cause an increase in the cost of coverage. If you want to be sure that you are receiving a good deal, you should look into buying a warranty from an aftermarket auto warranty company. Here are some important things you should keep in mind:

1. Know what kind of coverage you need for your vehicle and how long you need the coverage for.

2. Make sure that you are buying the warranty from a reputable company. You can look for feedback on the Internet and check out the company’s ratings on the national Better Business Bureau’s website.
