little bit more about extended warranties and the different plans that are included in an extended
warranty.
Extended warranty
This is a type of warranty that is provided by the car’s manufacturer or third-party dealers. Its primary
role is to meet all mechanical and electrical damages that come along as you use the car. This kind of
warranty however has a long life compared to the factory warranty. Most factory warranties are bound
to expire in about 5 years. The span of most factory warranties depends on the car model you are
driving. There are some models which last long and some don’t. For example, the period of expiry for a
Mitsubishi model will go for up to 10 years where that of a Volvo will only run for 4 years. However, for
an extended warranty, there is no set limit to the number of years one can have it. It covers many parts
in a car from complex ones to minor parts.
Extended warranties have several plans which to choose from depending on which parts of a car you
need to be covered. We have;
1. Bumper to Bumper warranty
It is a more complex and diverse form of warranty that covers absolutely everything from the front to
the rear bumper of a car. All parts including the powertrain or drivetrain parts are all included in the
coverage by this form of extended warranty. Electrical parts such as sound systems, infotainment, and
lights are also included in this package. If you are that one guy who shows love and compassion to a car
then you can’t afford to drive without the Bumper-to-Bumper package. All your problems will be solved
right away.
2. Corrosion warranty
Form of extended warranty that covers the car against the possibility of rust invasion. Rust is one of the
many agents which lead to early breakdowns and death of some cars. If you live in areas that are salty,
snowy, and marshy then your car will be at high risk of being infected by rust. You are hereby advised to
get the corrosion warranty plan which covers metal parts and sheets on a car vulnerable to rust.
3. Powertrain/drivetrain warranty
All part that is involved in real-time power and thrust provision is known as powertrain parts. These
parts include; Engine, Transmission, Axle, Driveshaft, and Suspension system. Most of these parts are
vital and almost like form the backbone of a car. The Powertrain warranty is a special type of warranty
that is specifically meant to cover these parts. Taking the expense of fixing a faulty transmission system
for example will cost you a lot then you can ever imagine. Repairs are done on that system reap you off
not less than 300 bucks. What if you have a more problematic car model. You may end up spending
even ten-fold that amount. It is easy with an extended warranty specifically the powertrain plan. All
expensive and vulnerable parts won’t worry you that much.
