Unlike car insurance, which protects you financially in case of an accident, theft or damage due to vandalism, an extended auto warranty covers breakdowns and repairs due to wear and tear.
Extended auto warranties, also called vehicle service contracts, are available in a variety of plan levels, depending on the provider. They range from basic, powertrain-only plans, to exclusionary contracts, which cover nearly everything and are similar to an original manufacturer warranty. Vehicle service contracts last for a certain number of years or miles.Many extended auto warranty companies in Richmond offer additional benefits with all plans, such as 24/7 roadside assistance, rental car coverage and trip interruption service.
The cost of an extended auto warranty in Richmond depends on the make and model of your vehicle, the model year, the mileage, the level of coverage, the deductible and how many miles you drive per year. Most contracts cost $300 to $700 per year.
For example, if you own a 2015 Honda Accord with 40,000 miles, a basic, three-year extended auto warranty costs between $1,300 and $2,000 in Richmond.
Some Richmond extended auto warranty companies offer discounts, like for students or military members. Contact multiple companies for quotes for similar coverage. You can pay for vehicle service contracts monthly but may be able to save by paying in full upfront.
Extended auto warranties cover parts of a vehicle that are often very expensive to fix: the engine and transmission. If your car breaks down and requires repairs to these components — or air conditioning, suspension or electrical systems — it’s possible the cost of the repair will be more than the cost of your entire vehicle service contract. Most extended auto warranties have deductibles of $100 or less and allow you to take your vehicle to any dealership or certified mechanic for repairs.
Extended auto warranties are most helpful if you have a vehicle that is no longer covered by the manufacturer, and you don’t want to pay out of pocket for costly repairs. These contracts provide financial security, even if there’s no guarantee you will have to use it.
How do extended car warranties work?
When your car needs a repair, you take it to an approved repair facility for an estimate. You make a claim with the contract provider, and if it determines if the repair is covered, it approves the claim. The extended auto warranty company usually pays the repair shop directly; all you owe is your deductible amount.
Can you buy a car warranty at any time?
You can purchase an extended car warranty at any time, provided your vehicle is still within the age and mileage limits set by the coverage provider (typically up to 20 years and 200,000 miles).
Where can I use my car warranty in Richmond?
With most extended car warranty contracts, you can take your car to any dealership or repair shop with certified mechanics, such as Complete Automotive of Richmond or West Broad Honda.
Can I purchase an extended warranty on a used car?
Yes, you can purchase an extended warranty for a used car, as long as it’s not beyond a company’s limits for model years or mileage.
