Deciding on the right warranty for your vehicle and price range can be tricky. Understanding the difference between the two main warranties can help you to make an informed decision.
Powertrain warranties cover all components of your vehicle’s powertrain, such as the drivetrain, the engine, and the transmission. These warranties often last longer than bumper-to-bumper warranties and make a good compromise if you’re trying to protect your vehicle while saving a bit of money.
Bumper-to-bumper warranties cover many more components than powertrain warranties. Exterior features such as body panels, interior components like the air conditioning system, and electrical components such as power locks or power windows are covered. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically last half as long as powertrain warranties.
It’s best to have both kinds of warranties, but if you’re on a budget, just getting the powertrain warranty can be an acceptable option. Visit our service center today at East Bay Authorized Service Center in Pleasanton, CA.
