PowerShield 2 Year Extended Warranty

extended warranty

"Get low-cost, major component coverage for your used or high mileage vehicle!" This is the concept behind the PowerShield 2 year extended warranty offered by Warranty Direct. Since most major repairs are needed after the manufacturer's automotive warranty expires, many people choose to buy extended warranty coverage to protect themselves and their investment. In addition to offering comprehensive coverage, Warranty Direct allows consumers to visit the mechanic of their choice and pays promptly over the phone with a corporate credit card, making the claims coverage hassle-free.

The first question consumers should ask is, "What parts are covered with my 2 year extended warranty?" With PowerShield, all the traditional "powertrain" components are included: engine, transmission, computer modules and drive axles. Unlike other warranties, Warranty Direct customers will also be covered for timing belts, water pumps, oil pumps, mechanical fuel pumps, CV joints, universal joints, crankshafts, cam shafts, bearings, bushings and more.

Consumers will NOT be covered for "wear and tear" damaged components like: seals, gaskets, valves, batteries, light bulbs, tires, GPS, trim, molding, handles, spark plugs, rotors, brake pads, hoses, drive belts or wheel alignments. At WarrantyDirect.com, there are other new car warranties and used car warranties (up to 7 years/100,000 miles) that cover "wear and tear" damage and all of these parts.

Purchasers of the PowerShield 2 year extended warranty can choose the repair facility of their choice in the US or Canada. Warranty Direct pays for all claims via credit card to make it hassle-free for their customers. There are a choice of deductibles and financing options to help all people afford the service. If customers plan to sell their vehicle, then they can pay a $50 fee to transfer the extended warranty coverage to a new owner, which significantly appreciates the resale value!

Of course there are still some stipulations clearly spelled out in the 2 year extended warranty contract that vehicle owners should be aware of. First, a claim will be denied if repairs are needed within the first 90 days/1,000 miles after purchasing the plan. Secondly, a claim will be denied if the owner does not take the car in for regular oil/fluid changes, within 60 days of purchasing the plan and as indicated in the owner's manual. Consumers must save receipts to show proof of oil changes in the event of a claim! Thirdly, a claim will be denied if the owner makes unauthorized modifications to use the vehicle for towing, racing, snow removal or commercial purposes. Additionally, consumers filing claims must ensure the odometer is working at all times (or fixed immediately). If the car begins to overheat or the "check engine" light comes on, then motorists must pull over immediately and call the toll-free 1-800 number to be covered. Lastly, a claim will be denied if damage is caused by a collision, weather damage, terrorist acts, vandalism or fire. That's what car insurance is for!
