Now Used Car Owners Can Save on Extended Vehicle Protection Plans after Their Manufacturers’ Warranties Expire

Owings Mills, MD, April 30, 2011 — American Auto Assurance, a leader in providing AM Best’s fully insured, vehicle protection plans nationwide recognizes the need US auto owners have for discounted plans today. Since more owners are holding onto their cars, trucks and SUVs longer as a way to save money, they’re likely to visit their mechanic more frequently fixing more expensive repairs. This creates an increase in demand for quality extended service plans protecting used auto owners beyond the terms of their original manufacturers’ warranties.

“Not only do we believe in giving a discount to consumers who must save by holding onto their cars, trucks and SUVs longer, but we believe in providing honest information to help our customers make the right decision based upon their auto and their budget”, said Brett Hopwood, Sales Manager for American Auto Assurance.

While there are various companies that market extended vehicle protection plans, many use less than reputable tactics including deceptive marketing that makes their policies appear to be an extension of the manufacturers’ warranties, and misleading terms and conditions.

“As one of the few companies that are members of the Vehicle Protection Agency, we believe in a transparent, informative relationship with our customers … as well as providing full-insured vehicle protection plans at a discount. We created new discounted pages where customers can request a free quote based upon where we saw the greatest need,” added Hopwood.

These pages include discounts for:

* active and retired military personnel (http://aaamilitarydiscount.com/)
* students (http://aaastudentdiscount.com/)
* educator (http://aaateacherdiscount.com)
* seniors (http://aaaretirementdiscount.com)
* government employees (http://aaagovdiscount.com)
* emergency service personnel (http://aaaservicediscount.com)
* and those referred by current satisfied customers (http://aaareferraldiscount.com)

Consumers Are Holding onto Their Cars 14% Longer than They Did at the End of 2008

American Auto Assurance Now Gives Better Customer Service through Blogging.

Owings Mills, MD, April 28, 2011 — According to a recent survey performed by Polk, the recognized expert for automotive intelligence, new car owners are now holding onto their vehicles for a record 63.9 months – 14% longer than they did at the end of 2008.

With most factory warranties lasting only 36 months, many car, truck and SUV owners are unprotected for over 2 years. And it is during this period of time that their vehicles will break down more frequently and the repairs will be more costly. Today, the average visit to the auto mechanic costs $1,200. A new transmission could cost $3,500 while a new engine could cost as much as $5,000.

What options do auto owners have for protecting themselves during this extended period of ownership?

Proper planning and preventative maintenance are critical to avoid surprise bills on a tight budget. American Auto Assurance, a provider of fully insured, extended vehicle service plans, launched a new blog to help car, truck and SUV owners with information about how they can best protect themselves and their vehicles from these costly surprise repairs.

In their blog posts, American Auto Assurance will discuss a variety of topics including:

* helpful information about extended vehicle service plans
* tips used car owners can do at home to help extend the life of their vehicle
* the difference between manufacturers’ auto warranties or extended auto warranties and extended vehicle service plans so consumers can make educated decisions about the right plan for their needs
* customer experience stories
* … and more

“We are committed to providing used auto owners with the best customer service through fully insured, extended service plans. Now, we’ve improved our commitment to them with blog posts of helpful preventative maintenance tips they can perform on their own to extend the life of their autos,” said Brett Hopwood, Sales Manager for American Auto Assurance.
