BMW dealer in Houston
Q: What kinds of warranties should I ask about when I go to my BMW dealer in Houston?
A: There are a bunch of different types of warranties, so it can be hard getting used to them. All I’ve ever had is powertrain, but I know people who gotten bumper to bumper warranty from their BMW dealer in Houston, among other kinds. Here’s a basic idea of what each kind of warranty that your BMW dealer in Houston might give you means.
- Powertrain.
Powertrain warranties tend to be the longest lasting warranties that your BMW dealer in Houston will give you, and they manage this because the warranty doesn’t cover many parts, even if it does cover those few parts for ten years or so. Normally it just sticks with the engine, the transmission, occasionally he air bags, and whatever parts move connected to the wheels. You can’t be covered for other necessary and constant things such as maintenance, like an engine tune up. However, the transmission is one of the most expensive repair costs for any car, so at least our BMW dealer in Houston has you covered there.
- Bumper to bumper.
This is the most basic warranty and covers surface mechanisms such as your electrical stuff, your AC, your fuel system, your radio, and so on. It’s shorter than the powertrain, and usually lasts around three years. While with most makes that’s all you get, with your BMW dealer in Houston you can also get maintenance.
- Roadside assistance.
Usually, your BMW dealer in Houston will give you this type of coverage along with the rest of your warranty. Roadside assistance is great in a bind, but even though it takes care of you when you break down in the form of towing, it unlocks your car when you lock your keys in and so on, it doesn’t pay for any extra charges not directly related to your car, such as having a rental to drive while the car is in the shop.
- Extended warranty.
If you don’t think you’re getting enough from the warranty that your BMW dealer in Houston is offering you, then you can get an extended warranty which will add extras coverage and often cover you for more time. You don’t even have to ad this on to your warranty right away and can get it years after you buy the car from your BMW dealer in Houston.
- Emissions.
For over forty years cars have had to have emission controls on them, and so your BMW dealer in Houston has a warranty for those. Normally the coverage is for a couple of years, and if your car fails an emissions test in that time, then they fix it for you. Pretty simple.
- Third party.
If you have some extra features on your car, like a Bose audio system and a DVD entertainment system, then these items probably have a warranty apart from the warranty of a car. It might not make any difference, though, if you have a bumper to bumper warranty already. Third party warranties tend to not last long, and your bumper to bumper already covers electronics.
