Smart Car Warranty Shopping

If you are considering purchasing a car warranty either from a dealer or direct from the warranty company, there are some key questions you should ask up front to make sure you aren't being taken for a ride. Make sure you ask: • How long does the warranty last? • What, if any, is the mileage limitation? • What's covered? • What's the deductible amount? • Who does the repairs? • Who pays the bill? • What, if any, maintenance requirements exist? • Can you cancel without penalty? You should also check the warranty company out with both the Better Business Bureau and a rating agency such as A.M. Best or Standard & Poor's.
