Q: Do I really need an extended auto warranty? A: Your vehicle is a big investment. The longer it stays in great working condition, the more value you get from your investment. Extended auto warranties are designed to protect your investment. An extended warranty keeps your vehicle in tip top shape without having to incur a lot of extra repair costs.
Considering that the average hourly rate for mechanic labor is over $125 an hour, labor alone can be a smart reason to have an extended car warranty. When you also consider how expensive parts and systems can be to fix, the choice becomes quite clear.
