When it comes to roadside assistance, personally I love it – not only because it is convenient, but it is one of those things that everyone should have.  While most manufacturers provide a service to rescue the car, but what happens if they don’t?  Well, as we explored in previous blogs, AAA is a great option, as this is certainly a great way to ensure that you are getting the most out of your policy.

A lot of auto warranties, as an incentive also add in roadside assistance.  This means that if you lock yourself out, run out of gas or even get a flat tire, someone will be there for you; you just have to find out exactly what is covered in your policy.

Keep in mind though that a lot of warranties do not include roadside assistance, but a lot of warranties do.

Whenever you are dealing with coverage, it can be difficult to determine exactly what you have covered and what is not covered, especially when it comes to the warranty.  Well, I can tell you for sure that if you are buying a new car, you are going to have the brand new car warranty to over any issues that you might have, but what are the differences between the warranties?

That is what we are going to cover in the next few blogs and we are also going to touch on roadside assistance.  Basic auto warranties are pretty simple to understand and they actually cover everything on the car – minus the oil, tires and brakes.  Things that wear out are generally not covered.

Typically, the warranty lasts about two years or about 24,000 miles, which is pretty typical unless you purchase yourself an extended warranty.
