Used Vehicle Warranty FAQs
How do used car warranties work?
A used car warranty provides a safety net for specified repairs, parts, and other vehicle expenses. Used car warranties are valid for a specific amount of time or miles driven. Car Time
Supercenter, for example, provides a free used car warranty for 3,000 miles or 3 months.
Used car warranties come in all shapes and sizes, and the most basic warranty plans will usually cover typical engine and transmission issues.
What can void a car warranty?
Some of the most useful used car warranty information to know is what can void your warranty, so read the fine print. Some common situations that may lead to a voided warranty include
when a vehicle has been declared a total loss. Even if the vehicle is repaired to like-new condition, a salvage title will typically void a warranty. Vehicles under warranty that are abused with activities like racing, off-roading, or even overloading can also lose their warranties.
Does changing my own oil void my warranty?
You can change your oil and perform other maintenance without voiding your warranty. According to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act enacted by the Federal Trade Commission, it’s illegal for dealers to void a used car warranty or deny coverage because you performed the work. This is critical used car warranty information because even the most comprehensive warranties typically don't cover routine maintenance such as:
- Brake parts
- Tires, alignments, and tire rotations
- Spark plugs, belts, and filters
- Oil and other vehicle fluids
- Windshield wiper blades
- Fuses and bulbs
If you’re handy under the hood and don’t mind getting dirty, you can service your used car without worrying about voiding the warranty. But what about other maintenance that usually requires a visit to a service center or dealership? Whether you do it yourself or have someone maintain your vehicle, there are limitations included with most used car warranties.
Do I have to have my car serviced at a Car Time Supercenter to maintain the warranty?
You can have your used vehicle serviced anywhere you like or do the work yourself and still keep your used car warranty intact—as long as you understand the limitations. Damage from a faulty repair, adjustment, or other work may not be covered under a used car warranty. If you or someone else changes your oil, for example, and the filter isn't seated properly, any resulting damage will not be covered.
While you don't have to have your used car serviced at a particular place, most warranties require the vehicle to be serviced correctly and regularly. An example would be if your used vehicle had engine trouble because you never change the oil. Regardless of who does the maintenance on your vehicle, it's a good idea to keep a record of services and products just in case. As long as you understand your used car warranty information, you can keep your car well maintained and your safety net intact.
