Lets Talk About Repair Bills

Car repairs are an unpleasant reality of life. We generally don't know where or when they will occur, only that they will and this is a fact. Two options exist when they do: pay for them yourself or use an Extended Vehicle Warranty.

Extended Auto Warranties are in essence an insurance policy on your vehicle against mechanical breakdowns. In fact, Extended Car Warrenties are not really warranties at all. To be accurate, the term warranty implies that the coverage is included in the purchase price of the vehicle. Since the car owner pays for this coverage themselves, these extended vehicle warranties are more precisely Vehicle Service Contracts. Like the original manufacturer's warranty, they cover agreed upon repairs and/or routine maintenance for an agreed upon period of time.

Before purchasing an Extended Warranty, consider the following:
• You can purchase extended coverage for your vehicle at any time. Don’t feel pressured into buying one when you are purchasing your vehicle.
• Don’t duplicate your car warranty coverage. New cars today come with longer, more comprehensive warranty coverage. Be sure any extended coverage you’re paying for isn’t duplicating existing coverage on your car.
• Match the coverage to your driving habits. If you only drive 10,000 miles per year and plan to keep your car three or four years, there’s no need to buy an extended auto warranty that’s good for another 50,000 or 75,000 miles.
• Get some advice from a pro. Have a trusted mechanic check your warranty or make sure you checked the BBB on the Auto Warranty Companies that you choose. Understand what’s covered and what’s not, as well as details about the business end of the coverage: who can work on your car and how do they get paid.
• Understand how your deductible works. How much is it? Do you pay the deductible amount just once per trip to the mechanic or is it applied separately to each repair made? Details like this could make a huge difference in your total repair bill.
• Check out the company underwriting your extended auto warranty. Know who you’re dealing with and what their reputation is.
• Today’s cars are much more reliable than cars of the past. It is actually quite rare for a car to require serious repairs. What are the reliability ratings for your car, how likely is it that it will actually require serious repairs?
• Companies that deal in extended car warranties are in the business. So let them direct you to the best policy for you and your vehicle.

US Direct Protect is the leader in Extended Warranties. Our agents are trained to shop for the best policy at the best price.

US Direct Protect Press Release

Auto Warranty Company US Direct Protect Has Officially Joined the VPA
Submitted by a US Direct Customer

When I purchased my last used car, it did not come with an extended warranty. I came to the conclusion that it would be a prudent idea to invest in a car warranty . The dealership did offer me a warranty option but it looked to be too expensive for too little benefit. I regret passing on their offer. The extended auto warranty I purchased was awful. The company took my money and then did not pay for any of the 4 claims I filed. I ended up having to contact the state attorney general to get a partial refund and found out the company went chapter 11! Well, I decided that I needed to do my homework on Vehicle Service Contracts. There was no reason that I should not have last time and after my last experience, I was in no mood to get burned again. I read through dozens of consumer magazines, website, car buying guides and even testimonials. I scoured the public library, internet and even the phone book! Extended auto warranty companies are everywhere. However, most ended up having a terrible track record and scary customer service stories from their customers. These companies almost made me consider giving up on trying to purchase a car warranty. Finally, I found a review website that said US Direct Protect would not take me to the cleaners. They also had a high rating on the BBB. The reviewer stated that they had several extended auto warranty plans through this company and would buy again.I decided to call them and see if they were the real deal. After I called the number, a gentleman Answered and he asked me how I was doing and how he could help me. Not only was he and professional but he was quick and honest to his word. He ensured that I had a quote within ten minutes and stayed on the line to help me understand why Us Direct Protect was the best choice. I called back several days later and a another woman picked up the phone and assisted me in the exact same way that the young man had! They went over the all the levels of coverage options that they had available and I picked out the one that fit me best. This level of transparency and salesmanship is rarely seen anywhere. Thankfully, Us Direct Protect was there to sell me my warranty!

Quick tips

Things to keep in mind when you 're considering a car extended warranty are mileage and how old the car is that you are purchasing. Older cars are very expensive to cover under a warranty and high mileage cars are also fairly expensive. A lot of times, the buyer will not see the worth of having an extended warranty in these cases. Always remember, when purchasing a car, you can ask as many questions as you want. Be sure you fully understand the content of the contract before purchasing it. And most times it`s the older higher milage vehicle`s that breakdown.
Fully insured vehicle service contracts cost more compared to even the most stable risk retention group. The samsclubization of our economy has brainwashed a majority of folks to shopping for cost alone. This will get you in to trouble when shopping for an extended warranty. Your cheapest warranty will find a way to wiggle out of any claim you file.


Low-priced is great, but not recomended for auto warranties. You get what you pay for. With high profile vehicle guarantee failures years ago, hopefully you learned the lowest warranty price tag quote contains the highest risk of a warranty organization failing and leaving you with worthless paper. Case in point, Ultimate Warranty. When they undersell the competition excessively, something has to give, and corporations with lowball quotes have to reject your claims to overcome the lower sales. Their normal operation is to under fund the guarantee claims reserve accounts to pay out for your vehicle warranty claims. So you better time your breakdown for when they had a good prior month in sales.

Do not buy the cheapest extended warranty that you can find, they won't be around to cover your automobile when you file claims. They use tomorrow's sales proceeds to shell out for today's claims until they crash and burn. There once was hundreds of fly by night corporations, but with the advent of the VPA they have mostly been weeded out. If you can't get any details on a car warranty firm via Better Business Bureau, then don't buy from them.

Cheapie warranties exclude lots of coverage, they make up ridiculous reasons to deny your warranty claim, leaving you with few covered repairs, or leave you to pay the repair shop first and then take months to reimburse you back.

How Do Extended Auto Warranties Work

As you no, some situations can starts quite well and then end in an unexpected and unfortunate way. However, when it comes to the relationship you have with your car, this doesn't have to be the case. There is a type of auto warranty that is made specifically to make the car live up to your expectations. It is often referred to as an "extended vehicle warranty" and can help you make sure you don't lose money on costly repair work.

An extended auto warranty is actually a vehicle service contract or car service contract, as it is not included in the price of the main purchase. It will help cover the costs of repair work on your vehicle if something breaks down.

There are a few things to consider before purchasing an extended warranty:

* What is the Factory Warranty period for the automobile you are buying and how long do you plan on keeping it?

Many used cars come with a manufacturer's warranty at the time of purchase. Consider how long that coverage is for and if you plan on keeping the car after it expires.
* How reliable is the car that you are buying?
Examine at the car model's reliability record by doing research online. It will give you a general idea of what problems commonly occur with this type of car and how much the repairs cost.
* Is there a deductible and how much is it?
You should read the terms of the extended vehicle warranty carefully before you decide to get it. Some vehicle service contracts have a deductible each time you take your car to be serviced, while others will make you pay an amount for each repair. This will be much less than paying out of pocket for a break down, but it can certainly add up if your car has multiple breakdown.
* Do I have to pay up front?
Most auto warranties will immediately pay the repair facility for work done on the car, while others require you to pay the claim upfront and later reimburse the customer for the cost of the claim.

US Direct Protect

An extended auto warranty is not an easy purchase. On one hand you want the peace of mind that your repair bills are covered, but on the other hand their are so many bad reports about different auto warranty companies that you don't no how to make the right purchase. One that can be counted on when your car breaks down. US Direct Protect is a Warranty Company that can be trusted. The BBB has them with a B+ and less than 30 complaints in 3 years. I cannot find another Vehicle Service Provider with these numbers. US Direct Protect always gets the customer the best policy by having the top 6, A+ rated Claims Administrators compete for your business and in return, also gets the customer the best price.

What To Look For In An Auto Warranty Company

The best auto repair warranty is usually sold from a company that is accredited by the BBB and also has better than a C+ rating and has been in business at least a year. There are very few auto warranty companies that fit this description. There are about 40 extended auto warranty companies on Google but only a handful that have a C+ of better. And of the handful only 2 or 3 have been in business over a year. You have to be careful about fly by nighters. There selling policies one day and out of business the next.

Also, look at the complaints history. In the Automobile Warranty industry there should be no ore than 30 complaints a year by an average size corporation. There are many that have a C+ but have only been in business 5 months and have 40 complaints. So weigh all these factors when choosing your policy.

Make sure that your purchasing it from an Auto Warranty Company that is a member of the VPA. The VPA is an association of Industry leaders that strive to regulate the industry with a code of ethics. Over 70% of the advertisers on Google are not members.

If you take all these factors into account , your Extended Vehicle Warranty should be there when the dealership hands you a huge repair bill. And if you do your research you can bank on that. Auto Warranties are a great service especially if your like most people and could not afford a repair bill out of pocket.

Sunday, July 18, 2010

What Is A Car Service Contract

The whole idea of issuing auto warranties is to guarantee that if the vehicle purchased turns out to be defective in whole or in part, the owner is not left just holding the bag so to speak. For instance, if a person buys a brand new car that is fully covered under warranty and after having that car for a couple of months the motor completely quits that warranty will pay to have the motor replaced. Most vehicle warranties will also pay for a loaner or rental car during the repair period so that the owner will not be inconvenienced.

As you can see making car warranties available to their customers is an important part of any car dealership. A Car Service Contract makes good sense from the owners point of view because they will not be paying for something that is simply not their fault if a faulty part causes a breakdown of their vehicle. No one wants additional expenses when they are already spending what their budget will allow.

Car Warranties Make Purchasing A New Car Just A Bit More Comfortable

Car warranties make purchasing a new car just a bit more comfortable since a large portion of a person's budget is taken up with the monthly payments of such a purchase. With auto warranties comes the assurance that if something should go wrong with the vehicle that has nothing to do with its use or maintenance, all is not lost. This is the reason why most auto dealers offer to their customer's cars service contract.

A cars service contract is usually built into the original purchase of a new car, and extended vehicle warranties are also offered at the time of the sale. Some used cars are also eligible for adding extended auto warranties and this can be quite helpful especially when maintenance records are not available. By adding extended car warranties many people have saved themselves a bundle of money after mechanical breakdowns occurred.

What Is a powertrain Warranty

A Powertrain Warranty is an extended auto warranty that will cover your engine and transmission for a certain number of miles and years. Usually it will cover your engine and transmission for 100k miles or 5 years. US Direct Protect sells a policy that is called a Powertrain Enhanced, it also covers some electrical and A/C along with the Water Pump. This coverage is much better than a standard Powertrain because it costs the same but covers more parts. US Direct Protect sells 5 different Powertrain Enhanced policies. They shop the best rates for your specific car, and for your specific driving habits. By having more options it drive`s competition and the insurance carrier`s lower there price`s. When buying from Auto Warranty Companies that only sell one insurance carrier you end up paying more for less.

Saturday, July 17, 2010

How To Know What Extended Warranty Is the Best

The best car warranty depends on a few things. How much do you drive? How long do you plan to keep your vehicle? If you plan to keep your vehicle for many years and you have under 80k miles you qualify for a Full Comp plan or a Powertrain Enhanced. If your over 80k you can still get a Powertrain Enhanced or a Powertrain Warranty. Many Auto Warranty Companies can be found on Google to give you a free quote but make sure the company that you choose to make the purchase from has at least a B on the BBB. There are many Extended Auto Warranty Companies that sell uninsured policies that rarely pay claims.

How Do You Pay For A Car Warranty

When You go to purchase a Car Warranty there are 2 ways to pay. First , you can pay the whole policy off at the time of purchase. Usually there will be some kind of incentive to do this. Most customers pay for there car warranty with installments. Most Auto Warranty Companies set the customer up with interest free financing through a 3rd party Finance Company. After the down payment of usually 10%, the customer would pay the remainder in 12, 18 or 24 months.
