Manufacturer Warranties

As consumers, we enjoy the feeling of comfort that comes with a manufacturer warranty. However, it is surprising how quickly that period of protection expires.

There are many mechanical and electrical parts inside today’s newer vehicles which due to their complex nature require special tools and equipment to fix or replace. We provide a warranty product with this exact coverage in mind, the extended warranty product is designed to cover you for any unpredicted or early failures of parts.

We can offer a warranty price calculated for your coverage based on key factors, such as vehicle age and mileage. You can also choose your own excess value when taking up your quotation. Whilst you can get extended warranty cover from the manufacturer, why not consider cover from us?

What is an Extended Warranty ?

An extended warranty is an insurance that covers you for the cost of the repairs and maintenance on your vehicle after your manufacturer warranty has ended. An extended warranty can be taken up on your car at any time to ensure your pride and joy is protected thus giving you peace of mind motoring

The price of your warranty will depend upon the make, model, age and mileage of the vehicle you are protecting. Depending on the age and mileage of your vehicle the various parts and components may wear out faster than expected – the more you drive, the more your warranty is probably going to cost.

Unlike many of our competitors, with a used car warranty from us, you will not encounter a forced plan excess – it is up to you to choose what excess you have on your warranty. We allow you a voluntary excess and your plan’s price will adjust accordingly to the excess you choose.

The Warranty Direct Extended Warranty provides Gold standard coverage for your vehicle ensuring a range of components and parts as well as repairs are covered by us.

Once the manufacturer’s original warranty expires, the customer is on their own to pay out for any unexpected repair bills. It will not just be the cost of replacing a part either; there will be the diagnostic cost and the labour charge for fitting the part too. That’s where we come in and why having an insured warranty cover in place is essential.

Benefits Of Extended Warranty

We Offer Flexible Extended Car Warranty Plans

Choosing the right warranty company can be a real headache, but our vehicle warranty plans offer a great deal of flexibility.

While you can get additional car warranty coverage from the manufacturer of your vehicle, why not consider cover through us?

If you are planning on purchasing an extended car warranty and want to see if you can get a better deal buying directly from us, it is essential you feel confident we know as much about your car as you do.

You can purchase an insured or non insured warranty from a warranty provider

A warranty from a provider that’s not underwritten is risky as it means you could be getting cover from a company that can’t – and isn’t required – to show they have the financial backing to pay claims, and they could refuse to pay out for your vital repair work, just when you need them most.

Making sure your warranty provider is backed by an insurance underwriter is a great way to guarantee that your warranty company has the necessary resources to pay out for your claim when you need it – especially if the repair bill is looking on the high side.

Underwriters are specialists in their field of insurance, analysing the ‘risk’ involved in providing car warranties, whilst ensuring that sufficient funds are set aside if a claim has to be made.

Warranty Direct only provide insurance based and backed warranty policies to our customers.
