    Questions to Ask When Shopping For an Extended Warranty

    Accidents are bound to happen if you own a vehicle. When your car breaks down abruptly, and your factory warranty is almost expiring, there are a few things you can do. 

    Below is a list of some essential questions you should ask yourself before buying an extended warranty.

    1. Is an Extended Warranty Necessary?

    Are you the individual with extra money who doesn’t mind a bit of risk? If so, an extended warranty like the Acura Warranty may not be an issue. If you want peace of mind that most sudden car breakdowns will be covered, getting an auto warranty should be a consideration. 

    Vehicles that are heavily used for journeying, commuting, and jobs may experience more mechanical problems. Furthermore, if you live in areas with severe weather conditions such as snow, heat, and rain, then breakdowns are more likely to happen. In such cases, an extended insurance plan might be a wise travel partner.

    2. What Does It Cover?

    Make sure you collect all the information possible about the coverage plan upfront. Those who provide extended warranties must be willing to give you all the facts about the scope of coverage for each plan they offer.

    Basic coverage can even contain a long list of things that are covered. Make a comparison of the specifics of the plan you are contemplating to choose one that fits your needs. 

    3. What May Cause The Warranty To Be Nullified?

    Each warranty has rules that you have to follow to avoid having the coverage revoked. Asking about the dos and don’ts will help you ensure your coverage will stay active for a long time.

    4. Does the Warranty Cater for Wear and Tear Parts?

    Some warranties are accessible only for wear and tear parts, which makes it an ideal choice if you have a modern vehicle that you intend to keep many years down the road. It would be best if you got a different policy for older cars.

    5. What is the Duration of the Coverage?

    An extended warranty plan can cover your vehicle for 2 to 7 years. However, if you anticipate owning your car for an extended period, getting a longer plan will be more beneficial for you. Even though you might decide to sell your car before the warranty expires, your extended policy can be moved over to the new owner. 

    6. Can the Auto Warranty Be Transferred?

    Some warranties can be transferred. If you sell your car, the coverage will still apply to the new owner. However, there’s a transfer expense that you will incur. The best thing about transferable auto warranties is that they increase the value of any used car sold. 

    7. What is the Business Reputation of the Warranty Provider?

    If you want to prevent being scammed by coverage providers, ensure that you check the company’s reputation with the Better Business Bureau. 

    If the policy provider has been in business for a long time, there is a great difference in its consumer service and how it handles insurance claims. When a policy provider has a long track record, it means that clients have been satisfied and are coming back for more business.

    8. Are There Any Other Benefits?

    Bonuses such as a free rental car can be lifesaving, especially when you are waiting for the repairs on your vehicle to be completed. Trip interruption compensation can save you money. 

    Furthermore, a 24-hour roadside service enables you to access help when you need it the most. These privileges show that the company can provide a good extended vehicle warranty plan.

    The Bottom Line

    With this information, the final decision will be up to you as the shopper. Read and understand the fine print. If you want to prevent the pitfalls related to unpredictable vehicle repair expenses, you should consider shopping for an extended warranty.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
