The warranty that comes with your next vehicle is sure to be a deciding factor when you are making that final decision. With that in mind, it is important for you to have a basic understanding of what the different warranties cover.

Two of the most common warranties that are offered is the bumper to bumper warranty and the powertrain warranty. A bumper to bumper warranty will normally cover everything on the vehicle, save for some specifically omitted pieces in some cases. This is something that would be model specific, and your salesperson can clarify for you.

What is a transfer case? It's the gearbox that shifts the weight in your vehicle from axle to axle when your wheel begins to slip. If a transfer case is beginning to fail, you will likely hear a…

The winter months can play havoc on a car or truck's fuel system. Moist air that has been trapped in the fuel lines and gas tank can freeze when the temperature outside drops below 32 degree Fahrenheit.

This can not only prevent a vehicle from starting or running, but it can also split fuel lines and damage the fuel injection system which can cost the owner hundreds or thousands of dollars in repair costs. 

There is such a thing as a Move Over law. It basically means that you need to move over when you are passing a vehicle that has stopped on the side of the road. Every year, countless people are killed on the highways by passing drivers. These people come from all walks of life, have families, and their deaths could have been prevented if the passing vehicle would have just gotten into the other lane or had slowed down.
