Vehicle service contracts are a guarantee that a consumer’s car will be taken care of in the event that something goes wrong. Sales of vehicle service contracts have skyrocketed with the rise in popularity of buying used cars. Nearly as confusing as the sale of the car itself, there are certain questions consumers should ask when purchasing a vehicle service contract.
One of the first things to clear up before buying a service contract is to find out who is selling it. Is it the auto manufacturer or an after market company? It’s important to know whom you’ll be dealing with BEFORE something goes wrong with the car.
Understand what is covered and what is not. This is an area where consumers should ask very detailed questions. From large parts to small mechanical break downs, go over the car with a fine tooth comb to understand what you are responsible for and what the vehicle service contract covers.
What Does A Vehicle Service Contract Cover?
Consumers should also find out what is required of them in order to maintain the validity of the contract. Some vehicle service contracts require regular maintenance on the part of the vehicle owner in order to keep the contract current. This could include oil changes, tire rotations, etc. The holder of the contract may require that consumers keep their vehicle in top shape in order to uphold the contract. Consumers should know these details of their contract otherwise they may jeopardize their agreement.
A vehicle service contract could be a source of peace for some consumers or a hassle for others. To avoid a hassle and get the most out of a vehicle service contract, consumers should be as informed as possible about the details of their agreement.
