Extended Car Warranty Saves Money

As you can see from the above chart, it ain't pretty!

One way to forestall the financial damage a major car repair can cause is to buy extended car warranty coverage.

According to Warranty Direct, an average service contract holder makes 4-5 claims over the life of their warranty.

At that rate, the cost of an extended auto warranty is bound to pay for itself over time.

Where to Get Your Car Fixed

car repair shopWarranty Direct has an extensive database with thousands of repair facilities who have already accepted their extended warranty plans.

They will help you locate a reputable car repair shop anywhere in the US, or they will call your favorite repair shop to establish a relationship.

You won't even have to wait to get reimbursed! You just present your Warranty Direct Membership Card to the repair shop, who will contact the claims department. You simply pay your deductible, if you even have one.

Save Money When You Buy a New Car

When you buy a new car, you can save up to 60% when you buy your extended vehicle warranty direct from a company like Warranty Direct, instead of from the dealership - you're avoiding the middleman and the commission that would have to be paid.

Get an Extended Warranty on a Used Car
