Extended Warranty / Vehicle Service Contract
Coverage for repairs after factory warranty ends. Often overpriced at the dealer.
// Why it matters
An extended warranty (technically a Vehicle Service Contract — true warranties only come from manufacturers) covers repairs after the factory bumper-to-bumper warranty expires. Dealer-sold VSCs are often $1,500-$4,500 with 50%+ markup. Third-party providers (Endurance, CarShield, Autopom!) often sell equivalent coverage for half the price. ALWAYS decline the dealer VSC and shop independently if you want one.
