Reader’s Question:

My family recently purchased a new car from a major local dealer in Janesville, Wisconsin and we would like to know if it’s advisable to get an auto-service contract for the new car. Any information would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Although most new car buyers are enticed in getting auto-service contracts, this may not really be a necessary purchase if your car dealer is already able to provide you good coverage under your extended car warranty. It is important to note that there is a difference between an auto-service contract and an extended car warranty. You want to evaluate this auto-service contract against any warranties that already came when you paid for your car since some services are either redundant, already included in your warranty, or for something that you probably won’t end up using at all.

If, however, you do see the advantage of an auto-warranty for your car there in Janesville, Wisconsin or you feel that the car warranty you got included with your car purchase is a bit lacking then there’s no reason to stop yourself from getting an auto-service contract. You would want to make sure that you are aware and completely understand the terms and conditions of your contract, which services are included and which ones are not, and also know exactly who will be rendering the service and where to go to. It is also a good idea to read forums regarding the entity providing the contract since you want to know how good their reputation is.
