If you have health insurance coverage and plan to move to another provider, you may experience a waiting period before your new provider will cover certain procedures. If you know this in advance and you will need one of those procedures performed before the required waiting period, if you’re wise, you’ll schedule the procedure so your existing policy covers it. Your car doesn’t have health insurance to cover needed repairs. For a period of time, it does have a warranty that may cover them.
The Top Reason to Have Your Vehicle Inspected Before Your Warranty Expires
The main reason to have your vehicle inspected before its warranty expires is to save money. Potentially, you could save a significant amount of money. If your check-engine light has been coming on and you are nearing the end of your car’s warranty period, schedule an inspection with a qualified service center immediately! Would you rather foot the entire bill to have your transmission replaced or would you rather make a call to your warranty provider and arrange for them to handle it? If you prefer to have someone else pay for needed repairs rather than paying for them yourself, you will absolutely schedule a comprehensive inspection performed by an independent shop before your warranty ends.
Another Reason to Have Your Vehicle Inspected Frequently While Under Warranty
Keeping your car in tip-top condition will not only ensure it will perform reliably for years to come and get you where you need to go, but it will maintain its resale value. Even if you understand the importance of routine preventive maintenance and service, you are probably far more likely to pursue it if you are not paying out of pocket. The cost of a vehicle inspection is usually not extreme, but the cost to address problems found during an inspection could cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. One of the major advantages of a vehicle inspection conducted while a car’s warranty is still valid is car owners are far more likely to have problems addressed. Repairing problems as soon as you learn of them will protect your investment.
Where Should You Go for Your Under-Warranty Inspection?
If your warranty is through an automaker, it is a conflict of interest to have a dealership perform your inspection. The more profitable automakers are, the more profitable dealerships are.
