You may think that a basic bumper to bumper auto warranty covers everything between the front and the back end of your car. But does it? If not, will an extended auto warranty give you the coverage that you need?

You may think that you have extensive coverage, but review the fine print to see what isn’t covered. Unfortunately, certain incidentals aren’t covered by any auto warranty. But, a lot of warranties don’t have these items listed clearly, which can mean you may be paying for services that you are actually covered for. It is hard when these items aren’t stated clearly on your contract, which means it is essential for you to review your document thoroughly.

In Auto Advantage’s booklet which explains the service agreement for bumper to bumper new car warranties, there is a section titled “What is Not Covered”, which makes things easy for the consumer. Also included on the same page is what is included in your coverage:

This program covers all the major components on your vehicle… Bumper to Bumper Coverage provides Mechanical Break-down coverage for repairs/replacements of ALL original equipment, manufacturers factory installed mechanical and electrical operating parts and assemblies on the covered vehicle…

Knowing what you are covered for is half the battle, but you also want to make sure you are covered for a certain amount of time. With Auto Advantage you can be covered anywhere from three months to fourteen years, it’s up to you. Mileage is also flexible.

An extended auto warranty will offer you many options as well as peace of mind about the automobile that you are purchasing.
