Nothing is worse than feeling left out in the cold when disaster strikes in Buffalo, NY. You can feel vulnerable when the unexpected occurs, and you're out on the road. Fortunately, you are protected in these instances.
When you shop or even drive a car, there are two standard ways to ensure you get the attention and care you need if something unexpected happens. First, there is a car warranty. Then, there's car insurance. Northtown Automotive wants to let you know the distinct differences between the two coverages so you are prepared.
What is a Car Warranty?
A car warranty is something that typically comes with the purchase of a new or used car from Northtown Auto. It protects your car in the event of mechanical breakdowns. Each brand provides different types of coverage unique to their models. The warranty lasts for a determined amount of time or miles. Whichever comes first.
So, what protection do you get from a car warranty? Many models come with a limited powertrain warranty that covers all or most of the cost of parts and repairs when something mechanical breaks down from normal wear and tear. You can also find coverage through a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This covers other electronic elements not listed in the powertrain warranty
Most warranty coverage lasts about three years, but you can pay for extended coverage. This gives you protection after the initial warranty expires.
What is Car Insurance
Car insurance is handled by a third-party company and provides coverage in case of an accident or collision. You can pick different kinds of coverage for your insurance that covers you in different situations.
Collision coverage will help cover the costs following an accident. Liability insurance will help pay for someone else's medical treatment if you are at fault. Comprehensive insurance coverage will take care of you in any number of incredible situations, like a tree limb falling on your car or vandalism to your vehicle.
