Additional Benefits
Auto Protection’s vehicle service contracts and car warranties include roadside assistance, trip interruption assistance, and rental car help or help with alternate transportation.

The Bad
- Items Not Covered
- Undisclosed Vehicle Qualification Standards
Items Not Covered
Auto Protection car warranties do not cover everything. For example, all of the warranties do not cover aftermarket equipment, batteries, body, and trim item, body damage and noises, scheduled maintenance, adjustments and wear items, and other car parts.
For more specific information about car parts not covered, interested consumers should contact Auto Protection directly.
Undisclosed Vehicle Qualification Standards
Auto Protection does not state the mileage requirements associated with its plans. Interested customers should contact Auto Protection directly for more specific information about its coverage plans.
The Bottom Line
While Auto Protection’s service contracts do not cover all car parts or all repairs, it is a good option to consider when purchasing a car warranty. Most car warranties have similar restrictions, so the uncovered repairs do not stand out in the industry.
Consumers looking to buy a service contract for a new, used, or older vehicle will find good options with Auto Protection. Its additional benefits like roadside assistance and transportation aid are other perks. Before purchasing a protection plan from Auto Protect, be sure to understand all of the terms and what vehicles qualify.
