Taking A Look At The Warrantech Auto Warranty Coverage

Repairmaster

Warrantech offers complete, comprehensive care for your vehicle. They're considered to be a particularly innovative company because they lead the way in internet-based claims management, allowing you to quickly and efficiently deal with your auto repairs in real-time. They service new and pre-owned cars, vans, trucks, SUVs and recreational vehicles, but they have also branched out to service homes and consumer goods as well. It's so important these days to find a well-respected brand offering auto extended warranties, with so many schemes out there.

The most popular plan offered by Warrantech is the Repairmaster. The "Powertrain Coverage" plan includes the engine, turbocharger, transmission, drive axle and transfer case components. Or you may choose the "Select Coverage," which includes all powertrain components, as well as electrical, steering, air conditioning and brake components. The third plan offered is the "Deluxe Coverage," giving you everything in the Select Plan, plus cooling, front/rear suspension, fuel delivery and enhanced electrical components.

There are also optional surcharged plans to accommodate vehicles that get a lot of wear and tear. For example, the Commercial Use plan, the Seals and Gaskets plan (for vehicles with over 80,000 miles), the Enhanced Electrical plan and the Conversion coverage plan (for recreational vehicles). With all plans, you'll receive travel/towing bonuses.

Warrantech plans are available from 1 year to 7 years and from 12,000 miles to 100,000 miles. Deductibles range from $0 - $200 and all plans are backed by a reliable AM Best-rated insurance company. "By creating an affordable program that is administered by Warrantech and is fully insured, dealers can provide the Sterling Auto Warranty on their pre-owned vehicles with confidence, knowing that their customers will be taken care of now and in the future," said Chris Ford, president of Warrantech Automotive. "We are offering dealers new car service contract security at a level of coverage and price they are seeking for their used vehicles."

The one downside to Warrantech is that you have to go through their approved network of dealerships. Not everyone feels comfortable with this, since some people prefer family or local mechanics. If you don't have extreme loyalty to a certain mechanic, then the Repairmaster is certainly a plan to consider, since you can buy coverage for wear and tear, as well as gaskets and seals, while also receiving travel reimbursements! If you're the sort of person who needs peace of mind, then the extended warranty program will be well worth the money for you.
