What is a Factory Warranty?
Virtually all car manufacturers offer a factory warranty on new vehicles. A factory warranty usually includes a new vehicle limited warranty, sometimes referred to as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. A factory warranty may also include a powertrain warranty, maintenance, corrosion and emissions coverage.
Know Your Factory Warranty Coverage
Knowing what coverage major auto manufacturers offer under their factory warranty is critical. Whether it’s a bumper-to-bumper warranty, a powertrain warranty, or even corrosion, or emission warranty coverage, it’s important to know what’s covered on your make and model vehicle.
When a consumer understands the type of coverage and term of coverage offered by the manufacturer of their vehicle, making a decision on a vehicle service contract or other ancillary products becomes much easier.
