car warranty plans

Car warranty plans in Australia can range from the factory-backed warranties that usually last about 3 to 5 years or 100,000 to 150,000 km, to extended warranties you can purchase separately. These extended plans often cover things like engine, transmission, and electrical components but vary wildly in cost and coverage. New car warranties typically cost nothing extra, bundled in the price, while extended plans can set you back anywhere from $500 to $3,000 AUD, depending on coverage and duration. Used car warranty plans are a popular choice on platforms like Tradingpost and CarShowroom, offering peace of mind for vehicles outside factory warranty. Always read the fine print, as exclusions and claim processes can be a royal pain. For the nitty-gritty, ServiceCentral and warranty providers' official docs are your best mates.
