Should I buy an extended warranty on my car? Obvi busts the bad points
We are going to break down some of the negative things people say about extended warranty and explain why Obvi is different:
- The company could go bust and I lose out. We all know what happened to Sears, and it’s true – a warranty contract from the retailer isn’t always as reliable as it once was. However, Obvi sells an insurance policy and not a warranty contract. What this means is that whatever happens to Obvi, you’re covered by the insurer.
- You pay a lot for an extended warranty at the dealership – Again, absolutely true. That’s why Obvi is great. Obvi cuts out the middleman meaning no dealer commission and you can go online directly to Obvi, which is why we are priced lower and you save money.
- I don’t understand the policy. With lots of companies, you are given a policy full of technical jargon that might leave you confused with hundreds of components covered or not covered. With Obvi, the policy is easy to read and understand and put in simple terms.
- What if my needs change? Obvi has created the only extended warranty in Canada that can be transferred through a dealer trade. What this means is that even if you don’t use the warranty, you can get a better sale or trade value with an Obvi warranty being transferred to the next owner. If something happens and your vehicle is a write-off, then there are cancellation and refund options.
Who is an extended warranty for?
Obvi’s extended auto warranty for your car, truck, or SUV can take your comprehensive coverage up to 8 years with personalized KM options. Eligible vehicles in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba must have 30 days or 1,000 km of the remaining manufacturer’s auto warranty. So, if you fall within these limitations, then an extended warranty is an option for you.
