(Isstories Editorial):- Chicago, Illinois Oct 6, 2025 (Issuewire.com) – Consumers often leave dealerships with little understanding of the warranties included with their new vehicles. A recent survey found that nearly 70% of new car buyers do not fully understand what their warranty covers. To bridge this knowledge gap, automotive industry veteran David L. Sulfridge has authored Understanding Your New Car Warranty: A Complete Explanation of New Vehicle Warranties and Required Maintenance (© 2025).
This groundbreaking book provides a clear, comparative look at original equipment manufacturer (OEM) warranties across major automotive brands. From basic “bumper-to-bumper” coverage to powertrain, emissions, corrosion, roadside assistance, tire, and extended warranty options, Sulfridge offers consumers and professionals alike an accessible roadmap through a complex and often misunderstood area of vehicle ownership.
“Warranties are among the most valuable yet overlooked aspects of buying a new car,” said Sulfridge. “I wrote this book to help consumers, sales professionals, and even industry insiders navigate warranty coverage with confidence.”
