The concept for extended warranties for automobiles was first introduced in the 1970's. Before then, there were types of automobile warranties which were granted by the manufacturers themselves. However, a few companies decided to offer limited warranties ranging from one, two, or three years, and that is how the idea of an extended warranty was introduced.
