Make Expensive Vehicle Repairs a Thing of the Past

(ARA) - When the dealer you bought your new car from offered a vehicle warranty, did you turn him down? If so why? Probably because you thought the coverage was too expensive and your new car shouldn't have any problems for quite some time.While the automakers should thank you for your trust in them, you've probably given them more credit than they deserve. Case in point -- how many recall notices have there already been on your vehicle in the short amount of time you've had it?While the manufacturer will pick up the cost of fixing problems covered by the recall, you're on your own for everything else. If your car's power steering system suddenly fails and needs to be repaired, it will cost you at least $875, replacing a worn out clutch would cost around $725 and replacing a water pump would set you back about $300 -- and those are examples of some inexpensive repairs.No matter what the problem, you'll surely spend more on repairs than you would have if you'd bought a vehicle warranty the day you drove your car off the lot.
