Why Ai Certification Can Cut Your Extended Warranty Cost in Frederick, MD

If you are buying a used car, there are many factors to consider other than the upfront purchase price. At Ai Certified Used Cars, our Ai Certification program gives buyers more information about a vehicle's condition before purchase. Eligible Ai Certified vehicles can also qualify for discounted extended warranty coverage with plans available for up to 5 years and 100,000 miles.

Here is how the certification and warranty work together and what you should consider before choosing coverage.

What Does the Discount Mean?

The discount is available because the vehicle has gone through our Ai Certification process. However, the discount is subject to change depending on the vehicle and coverage.

Most of our vehicles come with remaining factory warranty coverage. If your selected vehicle comes with any factory warranty coverage, know about its coverage and expiration date.

How Does Ai Certification Help?

The value of Ai Certification starts with knowing more about the vehicle before you buy it.

Through our inspection system using artificial intelligence, we examine many areas of your car including the exterior, underside, tires, alignment, windshield, and electronics. The condition of the car is analyzed and recorded through the certification process.

Ai Certification and an Extended Warranty Are Not the Same Thing

Ai Certification tells you the car's condition at the time of its inspection.

The extended warranty, on the other hand, is meant to cover certain repairs after you acquire the car based on the terms of the warranty agreement.

The certification doesn't ensure that the vehicle will never require any repair, but it does ensure you know the condition of the vehicle up front.

Check the Factory Warranty First

Before adding an extended warranty, check the factory warranty coverage period left on the vehicle. We sell a lot of like-new, low mileage vehicles, meaning many of them are still covered under factory warranties.

For instance, if the factory warranty is still valid for one more year or a certain number of miles, it would be helpful for you to know how it works and when it ends.

Another thing to look for is when the extended warranty kicks in.

Look at What the Warranty Covers

When considering purchasing an extended warranty, you need to see exactly what you are paying for. Check what components are included, what is excluded, the deductible, where the repairs will take place, and how the repairs are approved.

You should also understand who administers the plan and what options are available to you in case of cancellation. Just because one warranty costs less, doesn't mean that it is better than another.

Why the Certification Still Matters

When you buy a used vehicle, there are always things about it that you will never know for sure. With our Ai Certification process, we provide our buyers with details other dealerships cannot.

This is among the reasons why we perform our Ai Certification. The certification provides you as the buyer with a full, current inspection report, which you may read before deciding to make the purchase.

Is an Extended Warranty Right for You?

The answer may be different for each buyer, but consider how long you are going to keep the car, the amount of factory warranty still remaining, what exactly the extended warranty will cover, and if the price is right for your budget.

At Ai Certified Used Cars, we want our buyers to understand both the vehicle they are purchasing and the coverage they are considering.
