What is a warranty and why should you consider one?
A warranty is a form of insurance policy. If a car breaks down due to the mechanical or electrical failure of a covered part, the warranty can cover the costs of replacement parts and labour.
Once your car is three years old the manufacturer’s warranty usually expires. Some 44%* of cars will need repairs during their fourth year exposing owners to potentially significant bills. Repair bills for older cars are likely to be even higher.
However, to protect your pocket from these unexpected costs, Nationwide Autocentres have teamed up with Warranty Direct so that you can now buy an extended warranty at anytime from the UK's leading car warranty provider
