This is one of the reasons, for which many drivers use the offer of dealers to extend the factory warranty.

Extend factory warranty for a new car, whether to wait for the end of the obligatory warranty period and start servicing the car outside the authorized service station? Owners and buyers of used cars do not have such a dilemma.

New car warranty for some, it is an opportunity to use the car stress-free without worrying if and when it breaks down and where to repair the car, whether to buy original spare parts or replacements, new or so-called. drugs. For others car warranty the new one is just a bane like a ball and chain. Why?

First of all, for the sake of the accompanying warranty costs. Because if the car does not break down, and this is usually the case with new cars, to new car warranty usually means increased operating costs for the car user due to the obligation to perform warranty inspections at an authorized service station.
Recently, car manufacturers are trying to outdo each other in who will provide a longer warranty. Usually new car warranty is granted for two years, less frequently for a period of three years. The practice of guaranteeing the reliability of a car for up to seven years, used by the KIA concern, is a complete phenomenon.

Of course, as with any guarantee, yes extended warranty is subject to a few details. First of all, the car user is obliged to repair and inspect the car with a guarantee at an authorized service station. In addition, car interior components are not usually covered by the warranty, features, chipping and defects of the paint coating as well as replacement of wear parts during normal car operation, such as brake pads, clutch plates shock absorbers etc..

Warranty extension however it costs money. The amount depends, of course, on the duration of the new guarantee and on the individual price of each producer. For example, Toyota, which on Corolla cars normally gives a three-year warranty, for its extension by another 2 years requires an amount 1500 zlotys payable once.

There is no point in deceiving ourselves, because nothing is free. There are car manufacturers who are in charge warranty extension they don't take any fees, however, the service at their authorized repairer is so numbered, that the producer is doing its best anyway. It should be remembered here, that the older and more worn-out car, the more expensive a visit to an authorized service station, because more components are subject to wear during the life of the car.

So, for a normal inspection under warranty, made after e.g.. 15 000 km we will pay about several hundred zlotys. This inspection will usually include changing the oil and oil filter, and after driving 70 000 km to be exchanged will be suitable, e.g.. brake pads, perhaps suspension components, etc..

Therefore, when deciding to extend the warranty for an additional fee, be sure to check all the conditions and balance the cost of servicing at an authorized service station with any repairs.. In this way, the issues raised on the scales should tilt our importance in the direction of extending the warranty or in the direction of saying goodbye to an authorized service station.
