Why a Powertrain Warranty?

Powertrain coverage is an extended warranty that covers a vehicle’s main components. This includes the engine, transmission, drive axles and drive shaft. Essentially, the powertrain is the system that powers the car or truck, and then transfers that power to the transmission and finally to the wheels of the vehicle. Below, you will find three good reasons to choose the Powertrain Protection option.

1. Low Cost... More Miles & Longer Time Period

Like all warranties, the Powertrain plans vary in allowable miles and the years that the coverage is in effect. However, Powertrain warranties generally include a longer time period, say, 36 months and/or 75,000 add-on miles or 60 months and/or 100,000 additional miles. In addition, the Powertrain is considerably less expensive than a total car coverage plan; often discounted 40% below the traditional “bumper to bumper” warranty.

2. Peace Of Mind

A Powertrain warranty will cover you for the really expensive major repairs. These types of extended vehicle warranties are an excellent value for the higher mileage older vehicles or if you are only concerned with the major catastrophic repair bills.

3. Vehicle No Longer Qualifies For Total Car Coverage

All extended warranty companies have a maximum mileage cap to quality for their total car coverage plans. Here’s how it works: The actuaries, the “experts” who study the repair history of vehicles and set the rates and contract parameters, want the total car coverage plans to end either on the 10th birthday of the vehicle or somewhere around 120,000 miles. Every reputable company in the country follows this rule. Any company that breaks this basic rule is courting disaster and may not be around when you need them. Therefore, if your vehicle is 9 or more years old, you will only qualify for a Powertrain.

The same is true if your mileage is over 95,000 miles. Either one of those parameters will knock you out of the box for a full-service warranty. Anyone considering purchasing a used car or truck should take this fact into consideration and beware of any company that makes you an offer that sounds too good to be true. It probably is.

So, if you no longer qualify for the total car coverage or you are looking for protection from the catastrophic repairs or if you drive 25,000 or more miles per year and are looking for a long warranty with more mileage – the Powertrain Contract would be an Excellent Value.
