Q: If you do decide to look at buying an extended warranty, you need to carefully appraise the contract you are being offered. This means reading it thoroughly and methodically. It is very rare for a warranty to cover all the possible repairs you could require. Typically some parts are covered and others aren't. As a rule of thumb you should assume that if a part isn't explicitly described as covered in the contract, it probably isn't. Repairs for parts such as the brakes and clutch, are often not included in service contracts.  Most warranties cover working parts, not repairs of dings and scratches (cosmetic repairs). Also, normal wear and tear is not normally covered. There are all sorts of clauses which could reduce your coverage. For example, if a covered part has become damaged by a part that is not covered, you may not be able to claim for the repair. A common so-called "escape clause" is one which covers "internally lubricated parts", but only if all the seals and gaskets are intact and in place. For example, if a transmission seal worth a few dollars leaks and the transmission becomes damaged before you have noticed the faulty seal, the provider may refuse to pay for your expensive transmission repair.  You may be covered for replacement parts, but not the labour. Depending on the problem, the labour could far outstrip the costs of replacing a part. As part of the contract, you may be required to do certain things to keep the contract valid. For example, you may be obliged to carry out regular services beyond the normal legal requirements. This might include perform oil changes more regularly than is recommended by your auto manufacturer. If you don't realise this and fail to fulfill your responsibilities then you could void the contract, meaning you are not covered and you don't get the money back.  It may be stipulated in the contract that you only take the car to a specific dealer for maintenance. Check this and stick to it. Anything else would be an unauthorized service.  To avoid this, be sure you know what you have to do and keep full and complete records of the actions you have taken. Keep hold of all the receipts from services and any maintenance work. Before you agree to anything you need to understand how claims are handled. This means being clear on where you can take the car if you need a repair and how the repair is processed. It's important to know who pays for the repair in the first instance. Does the warranty provider pay up-front, or will you have to pay and then get reimbursed afterwards? If this is the case, it could cause a significant strain on your finances in the short-term.  Part of understanding how claims are handled is knowing the level of deductible or excess you will have to pay. Be sure you check the deductible for any claim before signing up. Given the multiplicity of financial service firms and the often complicated structure of businesses which operate by buying and selling things like debt and insurance contracts, it's important to know precisely which company stands behind your warranty. Dealerships sometimes offer warranties that are backed by third parties, not the car manufacturer.  A manufacturer-backed warranty can be used at any dealership, whereas a third party one may be limited to where you bought the car from.  These kind of dealer-limited deals are sometimes known as "Captured Warranties". Generally, warranties that are backed by the manufacturer themselves receive the highest customer satisfaction ratings.  It is certainly not unheard of for companies that underwrite these kind of warranties to run into financial trouble and go bankrupt.
A: Be clear on what is covered. Understand your responsibilities. Determine how claims are handled. Know who backs the warranty.

Article: A custom filter allows for multiple filters to be applied using “and/or” logic. The “Custom Filter…” option is listed at the bottom of the filter dropdown menu and brings up a separate window. Here you can select up to two filter options, then select the “And” or “Or” button to make those filter exclusive or inclusive. For example: a column containing names could be filtered by those containing “A” or “B”, meaning Andrew and Bob would both appear. But neither would appear in a filter set for those containing both “A” and “B”. To clear a single filter, select the dropdown for the filtered column and select “Clear Filter From [name]”. To clear all filters, select any cell in the table and go to the “Data” tab and press “Clear” (next to the Filter toggle). If you want to disable the filters completely, simply deselect the AutoFilter option while the table is selected.
