A warranty is an agreement between a buyer and a manufacturer or any other third party provider which involves the product condition. The contract involves repairs or exchanges which are to be made in the case of damage to the product. A car warranty can be of two types; factor’s warranty or extended warranty. The factory’s warranty comes with the car originally from the manufacturer while the extended warranty is provided by a third party. Cars need to always have with them a warranty since they are vulnerable and prone to damage.

However, one can choose to drive his/her car without a warranty. This carries with it consequences that are both positive and negative.

Pros.

When purchasing a car, it comes with either a factory’s or one can decide to acquire an extended warranty. Some individuals don’t see the value or bother to care about whether the car they are driving has a warranty. This can be advantageous in some way.

1. Evade costs of a warranty.

Most people prefer driving their cars without a warranty with the idea in mind that a warranty is very expensive to purchase. Getting a warranty indeed comes with costs. First, you will need to get a warranty provider, sign a contract and start financing for the warranty yearly. Research has it that the least amount one can spend to finance a warranty is 100$ per month. This can be a bit difficult for a moderate earner since it influences the budget. It kind of helps you save. However, you won’t lay in a bed of roses all times. A disastrous calamity might hit you and get yourself spending more than what you thought was evaded costs.

2. You may never use the warranty.

Chances are that you might never need a warranty. This is because a warranty comes in place when there a big repair and damages which need to be repaired. Such kinds of repairs always need a huge sum of money. However, the likelihood or probability of such big catastrophic events happening is very small. Getting a warranty will be of no use as you may never need it since not such kind of big repairs and services happen often. Anyways, there reaches a point where you kind of feel the need of an extended warranty. Lets say you get invoiced a very huge amount of cash for a repair and have almost nothing in your wallet. What will you do?

3. You can cover parts that are exempted from a warranty.

A warranty comes in different policies which cover different parts of a car. For example, the bumper to the bumper policy covers mainly bodily damages for all rubber, fiber, and metal parts. Such kind of policy is not very extensive since it covers the specified parts only. Opting to drive without a warranty enables you to cover repairs to any parts of the car rather than getting a warranty policy that only covers parts included in the policy.

Cons.

Driving your car without a warranty is very risky. In events of damage, the warranty will cover repairs and services. Here are some of the disadvantages associated with driving without a warranty.

1. You bear all the risks and expenses associated with your car.

Driving without a warranty is one risk you are exposing yourself to. This means that you have to bear all the costs in case your car breaks down. You may find it a bit rough since a car can develop major problems which are too expensive for you to manage. As we all know calamities kick in without any signals. You are then unwillingly required to dig through your wallet extra hard to the extent of messing up your long-time savings only to cater for the repairs. Getting an extended warranty on the other side saves you a lot from spending since the warranty provider takes charge of any repair claims. Check us out at A-Protect Warranty Corporation.

2. Reduces chances of car resale together with resale value.

Most car buyers will always prefer to purchase a car that is warranted. The warranty on the car guarantees assurance to the buyer. This is because he\she will not be required to spend any extra costs on repairs and maintenance especially if the car is problematic. A car that has a warranty has the highest chances of getting resold in fact at a very high value than the one that lacks a warranty. A warranty acts as a booster in events of resale.

Protect Warranty Corporation.

• Frequent oil change.

It is advisable for car owners that the engine oil of a car should be changed every 3,000-3,500 miles. Oil is very essential for the car engine since it acts like the ‘’blood’’ of the engine. Most engine parts are always moving against each other thus the need for lubrication. This when oil comes in to play a role in reducing friction. This prevents damage to the internal parts of the engine. It is also very important to always use one type of oil that is meant for the car. Mixing different types of oil will cause damage and reduce the engine’s life. Make it a habit of checking the oil gauge once a weak and regular check if there are any leaks.

Apart from the engine oil, there are other fluids in the car which include; Steering fluid, transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, and brake fluid. The fluids play very key roles and need to be checked often at least once a week to ensure they are topped up. One most vital fluid a car should never lack is the transmission fluid.

An extended warranty is usually a contract between a car owner and a dealership or a factory. It is meant to cover repairs of the car beyond the period of the carmaker’s warranty. At times the costs of repairs get too high and very expensive and as we know all those damages and problems are usually unforeseen. Extended warranties now take over during this time to cover all those costs. You don’t need to get a penny off your wallet. Despite an extended warranty being in place to cover your car after the expiry of the carmaker’s warranty, there still are misconceptions about it. These misconceptions have been crafted well enough by painting a dark shade to extended warranties. They mislead people from getting an extended warranty.

This article is to help you see some of the top old skepticism lines that are meant to make you avoid getting an extended warranty. A-Protect Warranty Corporation is still hanging to the fact an extended warranty is very vital and for your car. Go ahead and check up with us.

1. ”They are not necessary since I have the manufacturer’s warranty”.

Hell breaks loose when the original manufacturer’s warranty expires. They usually have a short duration of up to 5,000 miles. You get exposed to huge repair expenses which become a heavy burden especially if you are a fixed budget spender. It is advisable to get an extended warranty as early as possible before the factory’s warranty expires. It will take over from there and play a more crucial and diverse role than the original one. The earlier the better.

2. They are needed for the loan approval in banks.

Don’t get carried away by this point since it is not based on true facts. This statement is used to force you to get an extended warranty with the idea that an extended warranty will help you get your loan approved in a bank. Banks only require assets under you details to act as security for their money..

3. Extended warranties have a long and challenging claim process.

This point is based on zero facts. It states that the process of acquiring a claim usually takes long and is very tiresome. First, you make a call to customer care initiating a claim, your details are looked into and confirm whether your claim is valid. A field officer is sent to your location to assess the claim, then the field officer sermons a technician who then comes and fixes the problem. All these long processes are currently done away with. A new system is now in place with almost zero paperwork included. Here at A-Protect Warranty Corporation, we have the fastest claim process with zero paperwork involved. There are selected service centers near you, just make the call.

4. They don’t offer extensive coverage.

This misconception claims that extended warranties offer limited and minor coverage compared to the original manufacturer’s warranty. This statement is not true since extended warranties offer very wide and extensive coverage and for a very long time for up to 10 years. Plans included in an extended warranty go beyond the manufctuerer’s warranty in terms of the extension of coverage to the time they are meant to last. Extended warranties have policies such as Bumper to Bumper and Powertrain which have many parts of the car covered.

5. Poor data maintenance and visibility.

Most guys are still stuck with the idea that historically extended warranty providers have a poor system of data management. This fact blocks most people from getting an extended warranty for fear of losing money and not getting any services. That is not the case nowadays, important data about extended warranties are now real-time. That is due to improved and advanced systems of data management.

Conclusion.

Over the years, extended warranties have had very little interest from people due to these misleading misconceptions. They are in place to change the mindset and trust towards extended warranties. You don’t want to open hell lose by falling for such false and old facts. Get yourself an extended warranty and be on the safe side.

1. Do frequent oil change frequently.

 German cars are usually made of very complex and powerful engines which work in incredible form. The internal components run fast and require a constant supply of ‘’rich’’ oil. The oil acts as a lubricant to prevent wear and tear that can cause damage to the engine. Make it a habit of frequently changing the oil after running the car for up to 3,000 miles.

A car engine simulates what happens in a human heart. The engine has a fluid that constantly flows through its components to provide lubrication and cooling. The oil’s life however depreciates after a certain period and this happens comes in after running the car for a certain amount of kilometers. When the vehicle is driven past the date due for an oil change, the engine will start generating issues since the functionality of the oil is reduced.

This article will first give you a brief introduction about different types of oil, how oil functions, and how many kilometers you will drive before a change. But first, you need to get yourself an extended warranty if you don’t. Check out Carchex for more.

Types of oil.

Two types of oil are used in an engine, these are;

• Conventional oil- This is a standard oil that is used mostly by a car dealership to top up the cars before sell. They are cheap and tend to last a bit longer.
• Synthetic oil- This oil uses additives that are added to improve its functions. This type of oil is very expensive compared to conventional ones due to the additives added. It lasts longer than the conventional one.

How the oil works.

Engine oil plays a primary role which is to lubricate. The oil is usually pumped through the engine at very high pressure leaving behind thin layers of slippery film of oil on the internal engine parts. This creates smooth effects between engine components thus minimizing friction. These processes repeat themselves over and over again and after a certain duration, the slipper effects reduce making the oil less effective.

Warning signs for a required oil change.

There are always warning signs which one will see that show the engine oil needs to be changed. These are seen after driving for a certain amount of kilometers. They are;

• Burning oil smell-If you smell a burnt-like smell inside your car then that is a significant sign that there is either a leak or the oil needs to be changed.
• Dashboard warning- The oil of a car needs to be changed when a signal of the dashboard check engine pops up. When you come across that notification, change the oil as fast as possible to avoid further damage to the engine.
• Disrupting noise from the engine- The ‘’slippery’’ property of an engine oil depreciates, the internal components of an engine start grinding against each other. This produces a knocking sound which many find ‘’annoying’’.
• Color change-Engine oil turns black over a certain period of use as it collects dirt and debris. Make it a habit of checking the color of the oil and be sure of when to change it.

It is usually required to change the oil after running a car for about 5,000 kilometers. However, technology has come in and strengthened the period of engine oil where a car can even run for up to 25,000 kilometers before getting a chance. There have been improvements in the oil making it work for a longer period.

Cause for a frequent oil change.

Some factors rather affect the duration which a car should run before getting an oil change. As we know, cars generally run for up to 5,000 kilometers before getting a chance. However, this can be affected and the duration can be reduced to a shorter period.

These factors include;

• Driving off-road more often- Off-road driving will reduce the life of your engine oil as the engine works extra hard than on a normal road. This leads to a constant flow of the oil in the engine faster than normal to avoid friction. The ‘’slippery’’ effects won’t last hence your car won’t also run for a long period without the need for a change.
• Constant traveling- Hitting the road more often requires a much frequent engine oil change since the engine is at work. Most guys who are into road trips will agree.
• Hauling heavy equipment- Heavy equipment poses a threat to the life of the engine since it strains the engine. The engine works extra hard hence using oil at a much faster rate than normal.

Conclusion.

Engine oil weakens up with time and as from the above points, this weakening can be triggered by various factors. A car that is used normally will run for a period of up to 5,000 kilometers before getting an oil change while that is used for much hefty work and in bad environments won’t last that long. Failure to get an oil change leads to serious damage to the internal components of the engine. As we know engine repairs are usually very expensive. Avoid all this drama by regularly checking up on your car’s engine oil. Getting an extended warranty for the car will also be of help.

Rust is chemically defined as a reddish-brown oxide that is caused due to a reaction of iron and moisture. Cars as we all know are composed of 90% iron components. This means that a car is very much vulnerable to rust. Rust forms almost anywhere there is an exposed iron metal or sheet, be it the engine, body, or tire rims. Rusts that form up in the engine pose a very dangerous threat to the life and functionality of the engine and generally any other movable part in the car such as the wheels and the axle. Rust also damaged other body parts such as the roof and door hinges.

Rust is such a bad nuisance to most car lovers. Who would love it being called the owner of a rusty old-looking car?. Consider getting an extended warranty for that old car and restore its lost glory. Check out the Secure drive warranty. Well, this article is to help you know more about rust protection for your car.

1. Avoid scratches.

We can all agree that calamity rings no bell but this time one should try as much as possible to avoid bumps and hits that could cause scratches to the body of the car. When scratches occur, they peel off the painting which protects the car’s body thus exposing the bare metal sheet. Salt, water, and air combine and form upon the exposed part as some nasty brown color. To avoid getting rust on these scratches or rather getting the scratches, you need to;

• Always park under a shade to avoid rain dropping on the scratched area.
• Avoid parking too close to other cars.

2. Get rustproofing treatment

Rustproofing is amongst one of the aftermarket treatment which can be of great use when it comes to rust protection for your car. Most car dealerships have this kind of service for their customers. This type of treatment is mainly for the area all around the vehicle that is vulnerable to rust. These parts include; rocker’s panel, upper body panels, pinch weld points, tailgate as well as the interior surfaces of car doors. Rustproofing entails spraying a protective wax on the parts with a special focus pointed to an area with the most exposure to moisture. At CARCHEX there are state-of-the-art ultra-modern machines that are monitored by professionals which are used in rustproofing treatment. This kind of treatment guarantees maximum protection for your car.

3. Do undercoating for the car.

The car needs that extra protection to the underside since it is where there is great exposure to corrosive substances, especially during winter times. The underside of a car forms rust without the knowledge of the owner since it is mostly not easily visible. The corrosion may worsen by eating up vital components beneath the car thus causing problems that could cost a lot high and become unbearable. Undercoating involves the spraying of a rubber-based substance or wax through the entire surface beneath both axles. This layer acts a proof against the rust. However, this kind of protection diminishes over time. The layer gets worn out over time especially for cars that are in climates with substantial amounts of rain and salt.

4. Use of rust inhibitors.

These are chemically made products that provide a ‘’shield’’ like a defense mechanism to the area that rust often forms. One good example of a chemically made product is WD-40 that is used to prevent rust formation. The lubricant protects your car during all seasons by keeping the parts dry. After that fancy carwash, make it a habit of spraying this product on parts that are exposed to prevent rust from damaging your highly prized form of investment.

5.Maintain high cleanliness standards.

Cleanliness will always be the number remedy to almost every problem that occurs in our daily lives. I n this case, your car needs to be clean thoroughly to prevent it from being a victim of rust. If you use your car in areas which it is often raining or leave in an area with high salt content, wash your car at least thrice a week. Many individuals tend to ignore this fact since it is always raining. Avoid using normal soap since it does not help protect from rust but rather scraps off the car paint.

The Car You Own is not Suitable for Your Needs

Several people overlook their needs when buying their first vehicle. You are likely to spend much more than you should if the car you own does not meet everyday needs. When purchasing a vehicle, you should always consider your needs, budget, and lifestyle.

So the next time you go shopping for a vehicle, stop to think about your needs first instead of your emotions.

Your Car had Underlying Issues

Most car buyers do not take the time to talk with the dealership before purchasing a car. Failing to conduct your due diligence will only set you up for costly repairs and replacements. You might even end up overpaying for a vehicle you will not use for a long time. When you talk with the dealership, you will have the opportunity to evaluate the history of the vehicle you are about to purchase. This way, you can find out if it has underlying issues and avoid unnecessary future expenses.

Focusing on the Upfront Costs Only

Car ownership goes beyond the upfront costs. Failure to consider other associated costs such as maintenance, insurance, parking, and fuel will stretch your budget within the first month of ownership. Things will be even more daunting if you have to make monthly payments. That is why you should bide your time to determine the total cost of ownership before making your first purchase.

You are Using the Wrong Fuel

Surprisingly, only a handful of vehicles need premium fuel for optimal performance. However, several car owners use premium fuel even though their vehicles do not need it to perform as intended. You only require premium fuel if you own a luxury or high-performance vehicle. Start using the right fuel to save your money.

Taking your car for routine maintenance will help you identify these issues and deal with them before becoming a problem. 

You are Taking Your Car to the Wrong Mechanic

The mechanic you are working with will determine the amount of money you will spend on repairs. You are likely to spend much more than you should if you take your car to an inexperienced and unprofessional mechanic. Such mechanics will only make things more complicated than they should. 

That is why you should consider the expertise and the integrity of the mechanic you are working with before Choosing your preferred one. Ask for free quotes from multiple mechanics and compare them to find an affordable one. You can also ask around to find an affordable option. 

You Don’t Have an Extended Car Warranty

Also known as a vehicle services contract, an extended warranty is an optional plan car owners can purchase to cater to future repairs or replacements. Most car owners prefer to purchase extended warranties on time of the original warranty to deal with some issues that the factory warranty does not cover, such as transmission.
