Car Warranty Advice
If you are considering buying an extended car warranty for your car, then you need to be aware of what your car warranty will cover.
Extended car warranties from manufacturers do not always give you as much coverage as an independent car warranty provider.
Car Warranties - Which Car Warranty is Best for You?
Most extended car warranties from car manufacturers do not include protection against breaking down due to wear and tear on key parts (they only cover break down due to manufacturing fault of a part).
Independent Car Warranty Policies?
Independent car warranty providers do cover wear and tear - although you must check the policy details - and they also offer more generous benefits such as money for car hire and emergency travel when your car breaks down.
They also tend to be cheaper.
Do I need a Car Warranty?
Car reliability is very good on most cars for the first few years. But when a car is over 3 years old the chances of breaking down increase and repair bills are much higher than they used to be.
Main dealer labour rates are now around £80-£150 per hour and so many components are now extremely expensive. For example:
- The BMW 3-Series i-Drive computer can develop a fault that costs £2,000 to repair
- A diesel Ford Mondeo's injector pipes can leak - the fault costs £1,000
- The electric window motors on Volkswagen Golfs wear out and cost £250 to replace
