Make Expensive Vehicle Repairs a Thing of the Past Updated: 3/13/2008 7:04:58 PM Print Article Email Article           (ARA) - When the dealer you bought your new car from offered a vehicle warranty, did you turn him down? If so why? Probably because you thought the coverage was too expensive and your new car shouldn't have any problems for quite some time. While the automakers should thank you for your trust in them, you've probably given them more credit than they deserve. Case in point -- how many recall notices have there already been on your vehicle in the short amount of time you've had it? While the manufacturer will pick up the cost of fixing problems covered by the recall, you're on your own for everything else. If your car's power steering system suddenly fails and needs to be repaired, it will cost you at least $875, replacing a worn out clutch would cost around $725 and replacing a water pump would set you back about $300 -- and those are examples of some inexpensive repairs. No matter what the problem, you'll surely spend more on repairs than you would have if you'd bought a vehicle warranty the day you drove your car off the lot. Ready to reconsider? Don't go back to the dealer. The prices they charge are too high. Log on to www.continentalwarranty.com instead to price out comprehensive extended auto warranty coverage for your new and used vehicle at wholesale prices.   All you have to do is fill out a short form that includes some basic information about your vehicle, and someone from Continental Warranty will get back to you with a quote. When they call, be sure to ask the following: * Does the plan cover ABS brakes or special luxury options in your new vehicle? * Are there restrictions on where you can take your car for repairs? * Is the warranty transferable? * How is the deductible handled? * Is there a waiting period before coverage kicks in? * Is your warranty backed by a respected insurance company or is it simply reinsured through a risk retention group or a reinsurer? When she signed up for an extended warranty through Continental Warranty, Amy Cook of Oregon didn't think she'd ever have to use it, but when her transmission and air conditioning both failed at the same time, she was glad she had it. "Continental Warranty has been a financial blessing to me. Having the warranty helped me greatly because I really didn't know how I would pay for the repair bill," she says. Whether you're driving around in a brand new car, or one with an odometer reading closing in on 100,000 miles, there's one thing you can count on. Eventually, your vehicle is going to break down and fixing it won't be cheap. For the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing your vehicle is covered against most mechanical breakdowns for many years to come, log on to www.continentalwarranty.com today.
