Understanding warranty coverage is crucial for protecting your vehicle investment. At Qualikar, we help our clients navigate the various warranty options available and determine which ones offer genuine value. Whether you're buying a new or used vehicle, knowing your warranty options helps you make informed decisions about vehicle protection.
Factory Warranties
New vehicles come with manufacturer warranties that typically include both bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage. The bumper-to-bumper warranty covers most vehicle components except wear items, while the powertrain warranty specifically protects major mechanical components like the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. These warranties provide comprehensive protection for your new vehicle during its early years.
Extended Warranties
Also known as vehicle service contracts, extended warranties offer protection beyond the factory warranty period. These come in several forms:
- Manufacturer-backed extensions
- Third-party coverage plans
- Dealership service contracts
- Component-specific protection
- Wrap coverage for remaining items
Certified Pre-Owned Warranties
Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles come with special warranty coverage that bridges the gap between new and used vehicle protection. These warranties typically include:
- Remaining factory warranty coverage
- Additional CPO-specific protection
- Roadside assistance benefits
- Special financing options
- Vehicle history guarantees
