Buying an extended warranty depends greatly on how much you plan on driving your new vehicle each year. If you typically drive more than 12,500 miles per year, you may want to consider a powertrain extended warranty. Most Honda models come only with an original 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper warranty, and not an extended powertrain warranty. If you drive extensively for work or leisure, your original warranty could expire in as little as 2 ½ years. Without a separately purchased powertrain extended warranty, you could face significant out-of-pocket repair costs.

Purchasing a new vehicle is a major investment. Proper car maintenance will not only help protect that investment, it will help make your car safer and preserve the integrity of your Honda warranty which requires you to adhere to regular maintenance duties. Referring to your owner's manual is the best place to start as it will outline the appropriate amount of maintenance your vehicle needs.
To ensure that your vehicle receives the highest level of repair service, Honda requires that you utilize a franchised Honda dealership for any needed repairs, except in emergency situations. The dealership may make your repairs with new components, or in some cases, repaired, manufactured, or refurbished parts.
Although it may be tempting to install aftermarket parts to your vehicle, they should be avoided because they will not be covered under your original Honda warranty. If the failure of an aftermarket component or part causes the failure of an otherwise covered component or part; the normally covered part will also not be covered by the warranty. A well intentioned effort to save money may in fact cost you significantly in the long-run
You may want to consider a factory backed plan. Factory backed warranties are usually more expensive then those from independant providers and your choices of repair facility may be limited. A good source for a Honda
extended warranty is www.curryhondacare.com. Compare our pricing with Honda backed plans.
