General information only. Each guide summarizes the provider's contract and brochure as we read them on the review date shown on that page. It isn't a contract or an offer of coverage. Where a guide and your contract differ, your contract governs. Auto Warranty Experts is not the warranty provider or administrator.

Before you compare plans
- Read the contract, not just the brochure. The contract is what governs a claim. Each guide notes where a brochure and its contract differ.
- Check who can do the repairs. Some contracts require the administrator to approve the repair facility before work starts. Each guide quotes what its contract says.
- Call first. Every plan listed here requires authorization before a repair begins.
- Know how coverage is described. Some levels list the parts they cover, and others cover every part except those they exclude. Our exclusionary vs. named-component guide explains the difference.
