If something has recently gone wrong with your car and you purchased a power train warranty, you may be wondering just what is the power train? In short, as the name implies, the power train is any part of the system that makes your car go and gives it power. This is not to be confused with power options, such as power locks or windows. Instead, it includes:
If you have a power train warranty and any of these parts have stopped working on your vehicle, you should be entitled to free repairs. Depending on the terms of your warranty, you may have a deductible you must first meet.
This type of warranty is generally the most inexpensive to obtain. While it only covers these basic items, a transmission alone can be a very costly expense should you need to replace it. Depending on the age of your vehicle, it may certainly be worth the money you spend on the warranty. It will at least provide you peace of mind that you will always have a reliable vehicle.
If you believe any of these pieces have stopped operating correctly and would like to have your warranty provider pay out, you will typically have to take your vehicle to a reputable mechanic. A skilled mechanic won’t look at you quizzically and ask “What is the power train?”
Often, warranty providers need proof from one of these professionals. Mechanics can confirm if a part of the power train is at fault. This might be a pain, but at least you will be covered in the long run.
