Common Questions
Used Car Warranty FAQs
Have questions about protecting your used car, truck, or SUV? Here are answers to some of the most common questions from used-vehicle shoppers.
What does an extended warranty cover on a used car?
Vehicle service contracts, often called extended warranties, may cover specified mechanical and electrical components. The exact systems, components, exclusions, and benefits depend on the plan selected. Some plans focus primarily on powertrain components, while others provide additional listed-component coverage.
Can I get protection on a vehicle with over 100,000 miles?
In many cases, yes. Preferred Warranties offers protection options for certain qualifying higher-mileage used vehicles. Availability depends on factors such as vehicle age, mileage, make, model, and the selected plan. Ask our team to check eligibility for your vehicle.
How much does a used car extended warranty cost?
Pricing varies based on the vehicle and protection plan. Factors such as age, mileage, vehicle classification, contract duration, coverage level, and deductible options may affect the price. Contact Callahan Motor Company for information about available options and pricing for a specific vehicle.
Can I use my protection plan outside Fort Worth?
If you're purchasing from outside Fort Worth, ask our team how claims and repair-facility requirements work for the specific plan you're considering. Repair authorization and service procedures are governed by the contract, so it's important to understand the requirements before arranging repairs.
Is an extended warranty required when buying a used vehicle?
No. Vehicle protection plans are optional products. You are not required to purchase an extended warranty or vehicle service contract to buy a vehicle from Callahan Motor Company.
Is a vehicle service contract the same as a factory warranty?
No. An optional vehicle service contract is separate from a manufacturer's warranty. It provides the coverage described in its own terms and conditions and may have different deductibles, exclusions, and claims requirements.
