Why Get A Used Car Warranty?

You expect to feel supported throughout the used car buying process; it’s a principle we work to here at West Motors at least! From the moment you enquire about the car you want, right through to the day you get the keys, the team at West Motors are here for you. But what happens once the handover is complete and the car is yours? We’ve got that covered too! If you’ve ever bought a new car, you’ll be familiar with the manufacturer’s warranty that can be there to step in if something fails. Why should buying a used car come with any less peace of mind? A used car warranty exists to fill that gap. 

So why should you take out a warranty with your next used car? Here we explain all about it… 

What is a used car warranty? 

A used car warranty is a policy you can claim upon in the event of a mechanical or electrical failure in your car, providing that it’s covered. Used car warranty policies are designed to offer similar protection to that which you would have received from the manufacturer had you bought the car new. 

How does a used car warranty work? 

Much like car insurance, you tend to pay monthly for used car warranty over a fixed term (3, 6 or 12 months usually), and it’s used as a safety net if a part that’s covered goes wrong. 

What’s covered will depend on the policy you go for, so it’s important to read the small print to truly understand what parts you're getting protection for, 

Why should I get a used car warranty? 

The older your car gets, the more likely it is that things could go wrong - and it will never happen at a convenient time! Getting the problem diagnosed, fixed and paid for quickly is something that a warranty policy could help with, taking a lot of the stress out of the process.
