Audi Warranties: Extended, Factory And Audi Dealers

By:

Published: June 6, 2007

Audi ownerships are a symbol of prestige and luxury. As a result, Audi owners often want to do everything they can to protect such an expensive investment. One important way Audi owners ensure their adored automobile will be protected is by purchasing the necessary Audi warranties at the time of purchase.

In order to prove that Audi stands by their automobiles, they offer new Audi owners an impressive factory warranty. Audi warranties promise to provide their owners of 2007 models a free scheduled maintenance service after 5,000 miles or 12 months of ownership, depending on which comes first. Audi also offers limited Audi warranties for new models for four years or 50,000 miles. In addition, Audi drivers can receive limited Audi warranties, which will cover corrosion perforation. Another perk of Audi warranties is the 24-hour roadside assistance, which is offered for four years.

Although Audi does not offer its drivers an extended warranty, new drivers can purchase an independent extended warranty from their Audi dealers. However, some new drivers are not always aware of how they can benefit from an extended warranty and may therefore be reluctant in purchasing one. It is important to note that an extended warranty can end up saving Audi drivers a lot of money down the road.

When shopping for the best extended warranty, education about the different types of extended warranties out there is key. Drivers must be sure the type Audi warranties they are purchasing will be the most appropriate for them. Extended warranties can differ in parts coverage, which are often distinguished by silver, gold or platinum levels. It is important for drivers to be aware of what their extended warranty will cover. Some Audi warranties may only protect parts that break, whereas other Audi warranties will cover parts that are simply worn down.

Another important factor to be aware of when looking for the extended warranty to best suit a driver is the type of deductible the warranty offers. Most deductibles will either be a per visit deductible or a per repair deductible. Audi warranties that offer a per visit deductible will often charge drivers a fixed amount, no matter how many parts of the vehicle need to be repaired. On the other hand, Audi warranties that require a per repair deductible will charge drivers for each part that needs to be repaired.

Drivers must also be aware of the flexibility of their extended warranty. Some Audi dealers offer Audi warranties, which will only cover repairs if they are completed by the Audi dealer from which the vehicle was purchased. Audi warranties with such restrictions can prove inconvenient if a driver's Audi breaks down when he or she is out of town. Another inconvenient extended warranty can be one requiring the driver to pay the total cost of repairs upfront, only to be reimbursed later, which can often take months.

Audi is known for their sleek designs and luxury car status, and should therefore be covered by the best possible Audi warranties. Although Audi does offer a limited factory warranty, extended warranties must be purchased from independent Audi dealers. Drivers should always be informed when shopping for an extended warranty to ensure they are receiving the best coverage for their much loved Audi vehicles.
