Auto warranty is a repair and maintenance service provided by the auto dealer on behalf of the auto manufacturer. Under US law, all consumer products, including vehicles have to be given a warranty. Normally, the warranty period extends up to two or three years from the date of its sale depending on the product. This program was created to protect the interests of the consumers and to provide value for their money. Since warranty is an important non-negotiable instrument, there are a number of fake warranties in circulation in the market. It is suggested that auto owners watch out for fraudulent warranty.

A fraudulent auto warranty is nothing but a general auto warranty loaded with a number of features. It is called fraudulent when the features and promises made in the warranty are not delivered. It amounts to cheating. However, there are clauses mentioned in the warranty which makes the non-delivery of the services genuine. Car owners would have been forced to sign the document without careful reading. Therefore, it is suggested that the car owners review at least five different warranty offers before selecting the warranty. If that appears to be a difficult task, employ the services of a reputed auto consultant to select the warranty.
