What’s An Extended Warranty
Well an Extended Warranty has a few different names at the dealership, but it’s most commonly known as an Extended Vehicle Service Contract (EVSC). The Extended Warranty might also be known as a Vehicle Protection Plan (VPP), or Mechanical Breakdown Insurance (MBI) depending on the location and region. These warranty coverages are designed to provide extended warranty coverage when the OEM Warranty expires or if it’s already expired.
What Extended Warranties Cover
Extended automotive warranties cover unseen repairs for a set amount of years or miles. Depending on which coverage plan is chosen, you will have different repairs covered from plan to plan. Based on the company some warranties only cover parts of the vehicle such as the drivetrain and engine. Other warranty plans offer full comprehensive protection that’s similar to the manufacturers warranty coverage.
Now generally most standard warranties don’t cover routine maintenance that’s caused by wear-and-tear from driving. Some extended warranties will cover every single dollar of each repair, while other warranty companies will require you to pay a deductible to use the coverage.
Choosing an Extended Warranty

Before you buy your warranty coverage, go through the contract and review it to see what exactly it covers, doesn’t cover, and who is authorized to repair the vehicle.
