Well, if something is misshapen there are ways to cover it like insurance and warranties. Let’s talk about warranties

What is a car warranty?

A car warranty is like an agreement between you and the manufacturer or dealer that specifies that they will repair or replace the defects of your car for a certain time period for free. They ensure that the car will get back to its original quality. Generally, new cars come with a manufacturer warranty but in some cases used cars also come with some warranty.

What are the different types of warranties offered by automakers?

There are two types of warranty coverage that automakers offer

Basic or bumper-to-bumper: this coverage includes all the parts of the vehicle expect the wear tear repairs like tires or brakes
Powertrain warranty: it is longer than the base coverage and only covers things that move the car including engine and transmission
