Why not buy warranty coverage from the dealership?
A. The main reasons you shouldn’t buy a warranty from a dealership are price and flexibility. Dealerships use the sale of warranties to increase their profits and will often finance the warranty’s price with your vehicle. So not only are dealership prices higher, but you also end up paying interest on your warranty purchase, making it even more expensive. Additionally, a dealership warranty may typically restricted to being valid only at the location where the warranty was purchased.
