Not All Car Warranty Sites are Created Equal|Beware of Affiliates

An extended warranty for a car is very useful and indeed saves drivers much time, money and hassle. It is therefore no wonder that so many new car warranty sites have sprung up across the Internet, and many of these sites have similar names and offers. For instance, their is now a lead company who made a website called usdirectwarranty.com and use it for PPC. They have no affiliation with usdirectprotect.com, number 1 online seller of extended warranties for vehicles, but they obviously are trying to catch consumers off guard. US Direct Protect had one of their agents call the phony outfit and they did try to portray themselves`s as industry leader US Direct Protect.

That is because many car warranty sites are actually lead sites or affiliate sites for major providers of online car warranties. Such sites often offer but a few fixed choices, because their owners know that those are the warranties which their audience will be most apt to choose, or that they are the ones for which the actual warranty providers pay the most affiliate commission. These policies all have weasel clauses or are the same policies with the price inflated.

On the other hand, a true professional site will include a wide selection of car warranties for various makes and models of cars, with various price, feature, length and coverage options. These sites are run by webmasters who are dedicated to their customers, and who therefore make sure to offer the warranties that customers are looking for, at the best possible prices. Beware of 1 or 2 page websites, this is a sure fire way to detect an affiliate or lead company. They sell your inquiry to an Auto Warranty Company that does not have the marketing skills to attract their own inquiries. The customer is now paying the lead companies fee on top of the policy they purchase. Sometime`s this fee alone is $100.00.

When shopping for an extended auto warranty, make sure there are sufficient options for the make and model that you need to protect. One or two basic options is a clear sign that the site you are checking is a lead or affiliate site, as is a small selection of models regardless of whether your own car is included. One question we always tell consumers to ask the warranty company is "How many different Administrators do you carry". If their reply is 1 or 2....run.

Make sure to shop around, and discount any claims made by sites which claim to specialize only in one make or model. Such sites are clearly lead sites that just link to a site that actually offers warranties for several makes and models, but prices which are generated by the lead site could be higher than the prices which would be charged to consumers who go directly to the main site. If a site URL contains the name of one make or model, such as Chevy or Malibu, it is almost always a lead site and it is rare that such a site offers the best option for extended auto warranties.

Car warranties are best purchased from experts who maintain sites that clearly show their understanding of and commitment to the consumer. Affiliate and lead sites are usually operated by small-time webmasters who also operate such sites for tens if not hundreds of other products, from cookware to computer accessories, and they depend on commissions from each sale that only add to the cost of the warranty which you actually need.

Choose your car warranty from a site that lists clear options for different levels of coverage, and which has a comprehensive list of policies available for major makes and models of cars, which of course must include, but should not be limited to, your own car. You will find that a more comprehensive site offers better prices for exactly what you need.

Other online Auto Warranty Companies that have multiple A rated administrators for car owners to choose from is Auto Warranty 411. They have a licensed software that allows them to shop 10 A rated carriers for the best policy. We have heard nothing bad about this organization, nor are their any rip off reports or BBB complaints. Automotive Extended Warranties also has multiple policies at below market pricing. Their website has arguably the most auto warranty related content on it and is a tool used by many in the industry. Car Service Contract is a new comer in the industry who has compiled a long list of A rated Administrators and also has very affordable pricing.

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.
