What is Extended Vehicle Warranty?
An extended vehicle warranty is a protection plan that covers the cost of certain repairs after your manufacturer warranty expires. Modern vehicles are complex machines with sophisticated electronics and mechanical systems - and when things go wrong, repairs can be expensive.
Extended warranty gives you budget certainty and peace of mind. Instead of facing potentially thousands of dollars in unexpected repair bills, you pay a fixed premium and know that covered breakdowns will be taken care of.
