A car warranty is offered by the manufacturer to guarantee the performance of the car for a certain period of time. A manufacturer’s warranty covers certain repairs and replacements of car parts according to the warranty’s terms. This warranty typically offers comprehensive coverage for 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 60,000 miles.
Once the original factory warranty expires, car owners can purchase extended vehicle service contracts to continue similar coverage. These vehicle service contracts are also called vehicle protection plans and extended warranties.
