When you decide to purchase an extended car warranty, make sure you know what is covered by your policy and when it will come up. If you buy an extended warranty on a car that already has a manufacturer's warranty, you can take advantage of this additional protection. However, the extended warranties will only take effect for a certain period after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.
It is important to note that an extended warranty for cars is not the same as a manufacturer's warranty. An extended warranty is separate from the manufacturer's warranty on a new car, meaning that not everything included in the original warranty is covered.
