PHILADELPHIA, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- As worries about the economy grow,
people's desire to spend big bucks for a new car shrinks.  So many are
exploring the option of an extended warranty to protect their current
vehicle -- and, more important, to protect themselves from unexpected, and
high, repair bills.  AutoWarrantyResearch.com is pleased to introduce a
user-friendly, informative guide for consumers seeking objective warranty
information.
    Auto Warranty offers a complete glossary, a frequently asked questions
section, and a comprehensive summary of warranty fundamentals.  Additionally,
links that can help consumers research other aspects of their automotive needs
are also provided.  Auto Warranty's goal is to provide unbiased, verifiable,
quality information for consumers investigating auto warranties.
    The AutoWarrantyResearch.com staff has decades of experience in the
automotive, warranty, and insurance industries.  Auto Warranty pooled their
resources and combed their contacts to produce the most authoritative and
comprehensive online resource for consumers.
    The demand for quality auto warranties has led to an expansion of the
industry.  With more options, better-quality companies, and prices much less
than the average new car down-payment, now is a great time to buy an extended
warranty.
    Not long ago, consumers were captive to the high prices and limited
selection of dealership warranties.  Now, just as the Internet has
revolutionized shopping for books, music, and so many other things, finding an
auto warranty that is perfect for a consumer's needs and budget takes only a
few keystrokes and mouse clicks.  Yet, not only is buying a warranty online
simply another option, it's an altogether better option than going with the
car dealer.
    Here are some of the major advantages for consumers who take their
warranty search online:
    More Choices

    While a dealership can offer only a handful of plans, warranty companies
    online -- especially brokers -- have hundreds of warranty plans available.
    The large selection means that consumers can choose a service program that
    suits exactly their needs, both for coverage and for price.

    Cheaper Prices

    Car dealerships take advantage of the "contrast effect" when selling a
    warranty after the customer says "yes" to their new car: What's another
    $2500 after just agreeing to spend $35,000?  Dealers can charge whatever
    they want for car warranties -- and they do.  For warranty companies
    online, the competition for customers among them keeps prices way below
    those of dealers.  A warranty that would cost a consumer $2500 is
    sometimes $1000 less using an online company.

    Better Coverage

    Auto warranties that include wear-and-tear coverage, rental car and
    roadside assistance benefits, with terms up to seven years and an
    additional 150,000 miles, are available -- but consumers will never know
    it if they rely on their car dealer.  Manufacturers' extended warranties
    include the same terms and features that have been around for 25 years.
    Warranty companies online have the industry's newest innovative plans,
    offering coverage and terms that are even better than the vehicle's
    original warranty.

    More Customer-Friendly

    Companies with an online presence that intend to remain in business
    understand the importance of keeping their customers happy.  The best
    warranty companies online have customer service departments, well-trained
    and knowledgeable consultants, and are open at least 12 hours a day, and 6
    days per week.  Anyone who has ever tried to get in touch with the
    dealership's Business Manager to try to ask a question about a warranty
    will appreciate the good customer service the majority of warranty
    companies online provide.

    AutoWarrantyResearch.com is an independent consumer website designed to
provide customers information about auto warranties.  AutoWarrantyResearch.com
