Helpful Tips On Purchasing A Nissan Extended Warranty

Helpful tips to consider when making a purchasing decision about Nissan Extended Warranty coverage for your Nissan vehicle. Is a factory backed extended warranty the best choice or would an aftermarket auto warranty fit my needs and budget?


Whenever researching an Nissan Extended Warranty, keep these helpful tips on purchasing an auto warranty in mind:


- Always ask for the actual (or sample) copy of the service agreement that you will be purchasing. This allows for you to identify items that may or may not be covered under the product.


- Always call your local ASE certified repair shop and Nissan dealership. Ask them if they accept or have had dealt with the Nissan Extended Warranty (a.k.a. extended service contract) you are considering. This will give you a good read on whether the company you are considering actually pays their claims.


- Have questions about what is covered and what is not? Call the claims number on the service agreement you requested earlier. This will allow you to see how quick and how knowledgeable the companies claim department is with its customers. Not just how quick their sales department is! If they have it, also ask for a complete list of components that are covered by the plan.


- Always check A.M. Best rating of the administrator of the product. This should be an A or better, if at all possible.


- Always check with the BBB for the rating on the seller and administrator of the product. Yes, these are often times different.


- Never purchase an Nissan extended warranty from a company that will not provide you with contact information (eg. address, phone number, etc).


Consumer Auto Warranty Quote:
"I wouldn't take a third party warranty if my life depended on it. There's nothing but horror stories everywhere, about them. I've purchased Nissan factory plans on every vehicle I've owned over the years and I can say without a doubt factory plans are the best option, if you're into purchasing these types of things" .... titanguy10


A factory-backed warranty is usually a better way to go, says Stacey Bradford an consumer action author at SmartMoney.com There are numerous reasons for agreeing with Stacey's statement here. Whether it be an independent shop or a dealer that would be working on your vehicle, they all have pre-conceived perceptions about working with an Nissan aftermarket warranty or a Nissan factory-backed plan.


Their perceptions are driven by the experience they have with the warranty companies handling of the mechanical breakdown claims. Talking with any of them would lead you to a stories about lengthy inspections, lack of full payment or lack of confidence in the ability for the consumers repair to be fully covered. Stacey further went on to say: "the factory-backed warranties come from the manufacturers themselves, [where] there's more of an incentive to keep their customers happy.


Remember - eligibility for a Nissan factory backed extended warranty (a.k.a. service contract) is available while under Nissan factory warranty for Nissan Security+Plus Gold Preferred (the best vehicle coverage that Nissan offers). Plus you may still be eligible for a Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned plan if you are less than 5 years and 60k miles from original purchase date. As a Nissan owner, factory backed coverage is worth consideration.
