Buying a new automobile is one of the most financially consequential events in a person’s life. The best way to protect a vehicle and keep it running cleanly for as long as possible is to stay on top of suggested maintenance. It is also crucial to protect yourself financially as well. The expert finance team at Barrie Nissan can help customers choose from a broad array of products that can add additional protections that can deliver immeasurable peace of mind. Let’s take a look at these extended warranties and financial protection programs.
Extended Warranty Program
How Does An Extended Warranty Work?
Every automaker, like Nissan, offers an original equipment manufacturer warranty that covers breakdowns caused by defects in the manufacturing process. These warranties last for a certain number of kilometres or a set number of years. An extended warranty works in a similar way, but it is administered by a third party.
People choose to add extended warranties to their vehicles for three primary reasons:
- To avoid paying for unexpected and expensive car repairs
- Avoiding being without transportation while a vehicle is getting repaired
- Getting the most out of a vehicle for as long a possible
Why Is An Extended Warranty Important?
The past 10 to 15 years have been nothing short of a technological revolution in the automotive industry. These changes have created more reliable and more efficient platforms than at any previous point in history. On the other end of this, is a vehicle that can be more expensive to repair if a part, system or component does fail.
Is An Extended Warranty A Good Investment?
Unlike the original manufacturer’s warranty that comes with every new vehicle, the extended warranty needs to be purchased. Some extended warranty programs require a monthly payment. However, the program offered by Barrie Nissan can be financed for zero percent interest; that’s how committed we are to helping owners protect themselves from the unexpected.
The comparatively small cost of the extended warranty really pales in the face of a potential unexpected repair bill. Take a look at some examples of repairs that could be covered by an extended warranty:
- Alternator replacement: $1,200
- Air conditioning repair: $2,000
- AWD system repair: $2,000
- Transaxle replacement: $5,000
- Airbag assembly replacement: $2,500
- Fuel pump replacement: $1,200
