Extended Warranty FAQ's

Extended Warranty: Peace of Mind for Your Honda in Boston

While every new Honda comes with an excellent factory warranty, many drivers choose to add a Honda Care Vehicle Service Contract (VSC)—the only official Honda extended warranty—for continuous protection. An extended warranty shields you from the high costs of unexpected mechanical failures long after the original coverage expires, offering invaluable peace of mind when commuting through Boston or taking a long road trip across New England.

What does a Honda Care extended warranty typically cover?

Honda Care VSCs offer comprehensive, exclusionary coverage, which means they cover virtually every component of your vehicle unless specifically excluded. This goes beyond the engine and transmission to include hundreds of parts in critical areas that the original warranty may not cover after 3 years/36,000 miles.

• Drivetrain (Engine, Transmission, Axles)
• Chassis (Suspension, Steering, and Brake System components)
• Electronics (Computers, switches, sensors, and the SRS control unit)
• Heating and Cooling Systems (A/C, heating, and cooling system components)
• Factory-installed Audio and Navigational Systems

When is the best time to purchase an extended warranty for my Honda?

The best time to purchase a Honda Care VSC is when your vehicle is still "New," typically before it reaches 6,000 miles. This is when you are eligible for the longest coverage terms (up to 8 years/120,000 miles) and often the lowest pricing. However, you can generally purchase a plan anytime before the original 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty expires.

What are the benefits of Honda Care beyond component repair?

In addition to covering expensive repairs, Honda Care VSCs come packed with extra benefits designed for convenience and travel protection, which include:

• 24-Hour Roadside Assistance (towing, jump-starts, fuel delivery, etc.)
• Rental-Car Reimbursement (up to a set amount per day for covered repairs)
• Trip Interruption Benefit (reimbursement for lodging/meals if a covered failure occurs more than 100 miles from home)
• Concierge Emergency Service

Is a Honda Care VSC transferable if I sell my car?

Yes. One of the major advantages of a genuine Honda Care contract is that it is fully transferable to a subsequent private owner. This is a significant selling point that can increase your Honda’s resale value should you decide to upgrade your vehicle in the future. There may be a small transfer fee required by Honda.
