Also known as the "manufacturer's warranty", the "factory warranty" is issued by the car manufacturer after a purchase of a vehicle for a certain period of time. It consists of bumper-to-bumper coverage, powertrain protection, and transferability. For some car manufacturers, this warranty may also included maintenance coverage for your vehicle.

The coverage provided by the warranty is determined by time and mileage, whichever comes first. It is true to say that after the factory warranty expires, there will be no other coverage that can be this comprehensive.

In regard to a motor vehicle.All vehicles come equipped with a standard factory warranty. However, these often are limited by time and mileage. An vehicle protection plan is often times referred to as an extended auto warranty by a consumer, in which affords the consumer the ability to extend coverage past the the original factory warranty of the vehicle. Often times an extended auto warranty can also compliment a factory warranty by providing additional features and benefits like trip interruption and roadside assistance during the original warranty. An extended warranty always has a fee and is never free like a standard factory warranty; however can provide the assurance similar to the car warranty the vehicle had when new.

When does an extended warranty start on an auto?

You will need to read your contract, some start immediately and some have a 30 day waiting period. Also some contracts begin immediately and overlap factory warranties so you pay for double coverage and is not the best option or others start when the factory warranty expires. Vehicle Life Genuine Warranties start immediately upon approval if the car is not under factory warranty and starts after factory warranty expires. So if you buy a 2 year old car with 25,000 miles that has a factory 5 yr 60,000 mile warranty your coverage begins when the factory warranty expires...thereby not paying for coverage you cant use. visit http://vehiclelife.net or http://vehiclelifespan.com for their warrany solutions.
