After buying a car, there are potentially hundreds of things that can go wrong, from a water pump to a whole engine, leaving you with a big bill to pay.
A warranty is a form of insurance policy. If the car breaks down due to mechanical or electrical failure or suffers failure of parts covered, the warranty will cover the costs of replacement parts and labour.
That means that you can continue to drive your car secure in the knowledge that any bills will be paid for by the insurance company.
