We work with a lot of extended warranty companies at DeBoer’s Auto. So we know the types of things they like to hear and the things they don’t. When you purchase an extended warranty, you might think anything that can go wrong with the vehicle will be covered. That’s not necessarily true. We’ve come up with a list over the years of the top reasons why your extended warranty claim might get denied.

Have you ever gotten a phone call or a letter in the mail regarding your expired car warranty? If so, you may have been offered the opportunity to purchase an additional warranty for a certain price that claims to cover everything on your vehicle so you won’t have to pay anything out of pocket for repairs. While some of these companies may be legitimate, it’s important to do some homework before accepting an attractive offer. The last thing you want to do is end up paying more in the long run for warranty coverage than you would actual repairs if you paid out of pocket.
