Things to Know About Extended Warranties and Maintenance

Your personal vehicle is an investment of your hard earned money. In order to get a decent return on your vehicle when you’re ready to sell or trade in you must invest in the proper care and maintenance of that vehicle. Each new and used car will require a certain level of maintenance in order to remain functioning at its highest potential. Typically speaking older vehicles may require a bit more care and maintenance than newer cars on the market.

Each time you buy a new car or a St Louis certified Toyota carfrom the Weiss Toyota dealer in MO you will get complimentary warranty coverage. This coverage is designed to give you great peace of mind and encourage the proper care and maintenance of your car. Rather than performing maintenance only when a dashboard light illuminates or other noticeable problems arise, become familiar with the maintenance schedule found in the owner’s manual. This schedule will provide a specific timeline for most maintenance tasks. Adhering to this schedule is going to give your certified Toyota car the best odds at retaining its value over a significant period of time. At the point of purchase you will also have the option of purchasing extended warranty coverage. This coverage typically picks up where the traditional warranty leaves off. It is an added cost to the owner but can provide ample savings as it is typically after a traditional vehicle warranty expires that a vehicle will begin need more care and maintenance. It is highly recommended you purchase an extended warranty from the Weiss Toyota dealer rather than from a third party vendor. A third party extended warranty will be generic and not specific to your vehicle.
