Extended Warranty
Reading the fine print before you buy a warranty in Ontario.
Ontario's dealer row moves a lot of finance-office add-ons, and the service contract pitch is often the fastest part of the paperwork. Send us the contract and we'll tell you plainly what's covered, what the deductible really costs you over a year, and whether the price quoted has room to move.

What you get
- Exclusionary versus stated-component coverage — the single biggest difference in these contracts.
- Who pays the shop: direct payment or reimbursement you have to chase.
- What your deductible is per visit, and whether it's per repair or per component.
- Whether it's cancelable and prorated, which decides how much risk you're taking.
Watch out for
- Ontario Mills-area dealers often bundle a warranty into the payment; ask for the contract price separately so you can actually negotiate it.
- Airport-area rental and fleet history on a used car can mean harder-used components — factor that into whether coverage is worth it.
- Check if the deductible is charged per visit or per repair line item, since one visit can include several claims.
- Confirm independent shops near Ontario, not just the selling dealer, will honor the contract for warranty work.
