AUTO WARRANTY
• What is Automobile Warranty?
• An automobile or car warranty is a promise by a manufacturer or
dealer that it will repair or replace defects in your car, or that
your car will be of a certain quality, for a specified period of time.
... They offer excellent rates for extended car warranties by
comparing prices from top auto service contract providers.
• What does the warranty cover?
• The most general of all coverage, this warranty pays to repair any
flaws and defects in factory-installed parts. ... Drivetrain/
Powertrain warranty coverage: This warranty in particular seems
to outlast the bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage.
It covers the engine, transaxle parts and the transmission.
• What is a factory warranty on a car?
• Virtually all car manufacturers offer a factory warranty on new
vehicles. A factory warranty usually includes a new vehicle limited
warranty, sometimes referred to as a bumper-to-bumper
warranty. A factory warranty may also include a powertrain
warranty, maintenance, corrosion, and emissions coverage.
• What does extended warranty cover on a car?
• A service contract, sometimes referred to as an extended
warranty, is designed to offset repair costs after the purchase of a
new or used vehicle. Not to be confused with a manufacturer's
warranty, extended warranties kick in after the expiration of the
manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty.
• What is a manufacturer's warranty?
• Warranties provided by the manufacturer as part of the vehicle
cost typically cover only certain problems with the vehicle.
Extended warranties or service contracts sold for an additional
charge typically cover problems with mechanical and electrical
parts not covered by the manufacturers' warranty.
• Powertrain
• n a motor vehicle, the powertrain or power plant comprises the
main components that generate power and deliver it to the road
surface, water, or air. This includes the engine, transmission, drive
shafts, differentials, and the final drive.
• The mechanism that transmits the drive from the engine of a
vehicle to its axle.
• The powertrain mechanism, the engine, and the axle considered
collectively.
• Drivetrain
• The drivetrain of a motor vehicle is the group of components that
deliver power to the driving wheels. This excludes the engine or
motor that generates the power. In contrast, the powertrain is
considered to include both the engine or motor and the
drivetrain.
• The system in a motor vehicle which connects the transmission to
the drive axles.
• What's covered in a bumper to bumper warranty?
• New car warranties remain in effect for at least three years
or 36,000 miles. The bumper-to-bumper warranty
covers repairs to everything on the vehicle except “wear
items” — those parts that wear out such as tires, brake pads
and windshield wipers. Most car dealers give you a bumper-
to-bumper warranty that covers a new vehicle for three
years. As the name states, this type of warranty covers
(almost) everything between your vehicle's front and
back bumpers, meaning if your engine quits or oil starts
leaking, you can take the car in for repairs at no charge.
• Does bumper to bumper cover body damage?
• A bumper-to-bumper warranty does not cover damage to a
vehicle's exterior. ... The warranty does not cover this. I call
my insurance company, and then they total my car, because
its present value is an infinitesimally small fraction of its
original cost.
• Do bumper to bumper warranties cover the battery?
• However, some automakers, such as Toyota, cover those
same parts under their bumper-to-bumper
warranty coverage for a longer period. ... Batteries: Most
automakers will cover regular 12-volt batteries under
the bumper-to-bumper warranty in cases where
the battery is defective.
• What's covered under powertrain warranty?
• In simple terms, a powertrain warranty covers the parts of a
car that provide power and make it move. Typically that
involves the engine, transmission and drivetrain.
• Does bumper to bumper warranty cover oil changes?
• Included car warranties ... The bumper-to-bumper warranty
covers repairs to everything on the vehicle except “wear
items” — those parts that wear out such as tires, brake pads
and windshield wipers. The warranty doesn't pay for routine
maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotation.
• What would void a car warranty?
• Although car enthusiasts commonly believe that any
modifications will void a warranty, the truth is a little less
straightforward. In fact, a modification won't void a
warranty unless an automaker or a dealer can prove that an
aftermarket part caused the need for repairs.
• What are the different types of car warranties?
• Manufacturer's warranties are broken down into 3 types:
• Bumper to Bumper Warranty. This is the most
comprehensive part of a factory warranty and covers all parts
and systems of a vehicle, excluding "wear and tear" items
such as tires, brake pads, and wiper blades. ...
• Powertrain/Drivetrain Warranty. ...
• Corrosion/Rust Warranty.
• Two Types of extended warranties.
• When it comes to extended warranties, there
are two primary types: those offered by the carmakers (also
known as original equipment manufacturers or OEMs) and
aftermarket warranties offered by third-party vendors.
