• From the manufacturer of your car. OR • A service providing Car Shield Protection Plans Either it's on a new or used car, every type of warranty has its benefits as well as limitations. Warranty Types Due to the fact that there are terms like “warranties," “protections" and “coverage" all around the car industry, it can confuse you a bit. It's important to understand that there is a difference between these terms and that they can influence your vehicle. These terms include the following types of warranties: • New car warranties. • Service contracts. • Extended warranties. New Car Warranties This type of coverage comes with a new car that you buy and provides a range of protections for a limited period of time and/or a number of miles. These are: • Coverage for all “non-mechanical" parts of your vehicle, such as tires, wiper blades, light bulbs, etc. • Coverage in case of breakdown of the mechanics that make your car run. • Corrosion: this is protection against deterioration of the car’s exterior. • Roadside assistance: this is protection in the event of breakdown while on the road. It this case, you'll get picked up and assisted by a certified repair service. Service Contracts A service contract is a warranty for a limited range of services including: • Maintenance. • Repairs. • Replacement (of certain parts). Unlike warranties, you buy these contracts separately, i.e. they're not included in the purchase price of the vehicle. Extended Warranties General speaking, an extended warranty is, in fact, a vehicle service contract that extends the coverage of your vehicle for additional years or miles. When you purchase a vehicle, the dealer will change the original manufacturer's warranty in order to extend its coverage beyond the original parameters. If you are provided with an “extended warranty, you actually get a vehicle service contract. Very often, the terms are used one instead of another which leads to misunderstandings. You always get the warranty included in the purchase price of the vehicle. In order to make sure the repairs of your vehicle are properly covered is to: • Read your warranty attentively and understand what is covered and what is not. • Service your vehicle on a regular basis and keep records of the inspections. • Understand your coverage time frame and when it ends.
