WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN EXTENDED AUTO WARRANTY AND A VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT OR PROTECTION PLAN?

A “warranty” comes with a vehicle purchase and is included in the original vehicle price which provides specified coverage for the repair of the vehicle within a given period of time.

Manufacturers do not provide an extension of these warranty terms. However, car dealers and companies like PATRIOT WARRANTY sell “vehicle service contracts” or “protection plans” which are similar in purpose to the manufacturer’s warranty in that they cover repair costs for specific components of the vehicle after the manufacturer’s warranty expires.

PATRIOT WARRANTY’s coverage plans assures that parts, labor, and sales tax if specified in the extended warranty) required for replacement or repair of covered parts in your vehicle will be paid on your behalf by the administrator of your Extended Service Program.


'A' Rated

A term often used as rating reference for Insurance Companies.


Administrator

The administrator is the department that accepts your claims and works with the repair facility to ensure that your claim is handled properly. For example, Patriot Warranty is the Administrator of your extended service program. We are the company that will work directly with your repair facility as well as we pay your repair facility directly for all covered claims. Brokers are not administrators. When you purchase from a broker you deal with more than one party.


ASE Certified

A certification developed by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence to designate competent mechanics. Prospective candidates must pass at least one exam and provide proof of two years of relevant work experience. To remain certified, those with ASE credentials must be retested every five years.


Authorization

The authorizations department must give prior-authorization before repairs are started.


Bumper to Bumper

Is a term that truly, in our opinion, does not exist. There is no plan that an extended service program company can offer you that is a “BUMPER TO BUMPER”. Any company that will use this term to sell you a plan, is just trying to reel you in by using a term that will make you feel comfortable with the purchase but in essence you will not get a bumper to bumper plan. Steer clear of companies using this term.


Consumable Item

Items that are typically not covered under an extended service program or automobile protection contract because they wear out during use. For example, batteries, wiper blades, tires, etc.


Deductible

An agreed upon amount that a vehicle owner must pay to the repair facility for work to be done on the vehicle. Depending on the program the deductible could be $100, $50 or $0.


Diagnostics

The exploration the repair facility performs in order to determine the necessary repairs needed for your vehicle.


Drivetrain

The group of components that send power from the engine to the wheels of the vehicle. This includes the transmission, driveshaft, differentials, and u-joints.


Drivetrain Plan

An extended service program that covers parts of your engine, transmission, and drivetrain assembly.


Inclusionary Insurance

Automobile protection that lists every vehicle part that is covered by the plan. If the part is not on the list then it is not covered by the plan.


Insurance Company

A company that insures that the administrator will be able to financially fulfill the obligations for the extended service program and pay for the repairs to your vehicle. Also referred to as the obligor.


Lemon Law

Vehicles that repeatedly fail to meet standards and guidelines are referred to as ‘lemons’. There are Lemon Laws set in each of the states to help protect consumers from these vehicles. Please refer to your local, state and federal lemon laws for additional information.


Maintenance Guidelines

The routine maintenance that is recommended by the manufacturer of the vehicle to keep it in top running condition. This includes oil changes, tire rotations, fluid levels, wheel alignments, hoses, belts, tune-ups as found in the vehicle’s maintenance book.
