Should You Purchase an Extended Warranty?
An extended warranty, also known as a vehicle service contract, is a plan you can purchase that will cover some of the repairs that may arise while owning a car. Most new cars come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers the car’s repairs for a limited amount of time and it is generally included in the price of the car. An extended warranty typically kicks in after the manufacturer’s warranty ends, but costs an additional fee. Our Cadillac Dealership in Romeoville, like all Hawk dealers, offer competitive extended warranty options.
Benefits of an Extended Warranty
The primary benefit of an extended warranty is that expensive repairs can be covered if you get into an accident or your car starts breaking down unexpectedly. The financial burden of an accident like this can cause great strain on you and it gives people peace of mind to know that they will not be paying out of pocket. Extended warranties are very similar to car insurance. No one likes to pay for it monthly, but you will be very happy you have it if you end up needing it. It may be more beneficial to purchase an extended warranty on a used car whose manufacturer’s warranty has ran out. Used cars also often need repairs more often so there is a better chance the warranty is put to use.
Drawbacks of an Extended Warranty
The main drawback of an extended warranty is there is a chance you will not need it at all. If your car doesn’t need any serious repairs and you do not get into an accident, then you will essentially pay monthly for no service. There may also be service requirements on an extended warranty that limit which repair facility you can use to fix your car. Lastly, some extended warranties only cover some of the repairs that may arise throughout the lifespan of the car. Make sure to read the fine print of your warranty so you know what is covered and what is not and then you can decide if you think it is worth it.
