Extended Warranty

Is an extended warranty right for your Redlands vehicle?

Redlands buyers often hold onto cars a bit longer than the regional average, which can make or break whether a service contract's cost actually pays off. We'll help you read the exclusions, understand the deductible per visit, and figure out if your vehicle's age and mileage justify the price.

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

A car you plan to keep for many more years benefits more from stated-component coverage than a short-term ownership plan does.
Ask whether the contract is prorated and refundable, since plans vary widely on this point.
10 Freeway commuters heading toward San Bernardino or Riverside for work add mileage that can affect coverage eligibility over time.
Confirm a repair shop near Redlands accepts the specific contract company before relying on it for a major repair.
