car warranty

Repair cost protection

A car warranty is a guarantee from a manufacturer or dealer covering repairs or replacements for a specified period.

New cars typically come with bumper-to-bumper warranties and longer powertrain coverage.

Extended warranties, often sold aggressively, provide protection beyond the original term: I bought an extended car warranty for peace of mind.

The phrase has become synonymous with spam phone calls offering dubious coverage.
