Where do you go to get your car serviced or repaired? While the cost may not be explicit, from a convenience perspective, the implications of this question may be significant. Find out what your choices are when it comes to service and repairs, specifically, what repair facilities are authorized in your area. Further, as warranties are meant to provide protection in the future, find out what types of facilities are available to you on a national basis e.g., dealerships both manufacturer and franchised, national chain repair centers, etc. This is particularly relevant should you move in the future or suffer a breakdown while traveling. Obviously, the more restrictive, the less valuable the warranty coverage.
