In addition to paying for your repair, most warranties also include additional features such as emergency roadside assistance, rental and towing benefits, vehicle lockout benefit, flat tire assistance, and even travel discounts.

A vehicle’s value is enhanced considerably by being protected by a warranty. The NADA wholesale vehicle guide advises users that vehicles with warranties should be considered as being in “excellent condition,” rather than simply good. Further, private sellers offering a warranty with the vehicle are at a distinct advantage in relation to cars being sold “as-is.”
