Everything You Need to Know About Powersports Extended Service Contracts

Torque Group • November 10, 2022

If you own a powersport vehicle like an ATV or UTV, consider purchasing an extended service contract. What are powersports extended service contracts and why do you need one? Basically, an extended service contract for your powersports vehicle gives you some level of financial protection as future repairs or parts replacements may be covered by the contract, for as long as the extended contract is still current or valid.

Powersports extended service contracts explained</>

When you purchase any brand new vehicle, it comes with a manufacturer’s warranty. Now, this warranty generally covers repairs or parts replacements that are damaged or malfunctioning because of design defects. To put it another way, a manufacturer’s warranty covers damages that are considered as factory defects. It’s important to note here that the warranty only covers parts that are factory installed. The length of the warranty is generally three years or up to 36,000 miles.

Used vehicles may also come with a similar warranty from the dealer provided the vehicle is a certified pre-owned or CPO.

Why is extended service contract necessary?

To understand why powersports extended service contracts are necessary, we must first take a look at what they are. To put it simply, an extended service contract covers parts or services that aren’t generally covered by your manufacturer’s warranty. Depending on the terms of the contract, it may also cover the same parts as those included in your manufacturer’s warranty after the warranty has lapsed or expired.

In either case, you will be able to make full use of your powersports extended service contract as it covers parts and repairs that aren’t (or can’t be) covered by your factor warranty. This type of service contract becomes even more useful if you frequently use your powersports vehicle.

In a word, a powersports extended service contract will only work to your advantage and benefit particularly if you are an avid recreational rider.
