A warranty is a guarantee made by a seller to a consumer for a product being sold. When the warranty is for a vehicle, it is a contract that provides coverage for replacement and repair costs for certain parts of the vehicle for a specific amount of time.

New car warranties provide many benefits for a consumer. When a consumer buys a car from a manufacturer, a guarantee is given that if there are issues with the car, like defects or mechanical failures, the cost of replacement and repair of those parts will be covered by the auto warranty. There are two kinds of new car warranties. The first is the bumper-to-bumper warranty, which provides coverage for all parts of the car from the front bumper to the back bumper. The second kind of coverage is powertrain coverage, which covers all of the parts that make it run.

New car warranties ease the minds of motorists every time they bring their vehicle to the shop and receive a repair bill.
