Description

Preferred Warranties offers pre-owned vehicle service contracts through qualified dealers. There are several levels of coverage available in terms ranging from 3-36 months. All plans include 24/7 emergency road service for the terms of the service contract/

A service contract is a promise to perform (or pay for) certain repairs or services. Sometimes called an "extended warranty," a service contract is not a warranty as defined by federal law. A service contract may be arranged at any time and always costs extra; a warranty comes with a new car and is included in the original price.

The separate and additional cost distinguishes a service contract from a warranty.
