An auto warranty is a common term used when referencing a service contract or car warranty. While many variations of warranties exist, an auto warranty to a consumer usually means they are referring to a vehicle protection plan. An
extended auto warranty is typically available on any make or model vehicle by a warranty administrator as long it is eligible for coverage. An
auto warranty, no matter if it is a service contract or a car warranty would cover mechanical breakdown due to workmanship or defect of the vehicle components that the warranty agreement indicates coverage for.
