Auto warranty is an important aspect of any vehicle. Never buy a vehicle, either used or brand new, without a valid auto warranty. Insist on a warranty from the dealer. While purchasing a used car, keep an eye out for a fraudulent auto warranty. Make the extra effort to ensure that you are buying a genuine auto warranty.

One important factor that has to be considered while selecting an auto warranty is a bumper-to-bumper package. Bumper-to-bumper coverage takes care of the entire cost, repairs and maintenance of the car in case of mechanical breakdown. However, this package is priced higher since the benefits are far greater.

If you find the bumper-to-bumper auto warranty to be too expensive, opt for flexible packages. However, any package should cover repairs and maintenance of crucial aspects like engine, transmission, brakes, drive axle, steering wheel and its accessories, power train, drive train, ignition and body.

Some warranty packages also come with free roadside assistance and towing service if the vehicle breaks down. It is always better to purchase a comprehensive package like bumper-to-bumper even if it is initially more costly.
