Granger Warranty Plans vs. 3rd Party Online Offers: What's the Difference?

Shopping for an extended auto warranty? Learn the key differences between a factory-backed warranty from Granger and third-party plans sold online. Get peace of mind with real protection.

Know what you’re buying before you click ‘Add to Cart’. Not all warranties protect you equally.

In the age of online everything, buying an extended auto warranty can feel as easy as ordering socks on Amazon. One minute you’re watching YouTube, the next you’re staring at a $39.99/month offer that promises total protection for your vehicle. But as any seasoned driver knows, cheap often comes with a catch.

At Granger Warranty, we deal with those horror stories every day—drivers who bought a third-party warranty online and didn’t realize the fine print until their claim got denied. It’s why we only offer factory-backed warranty plans, backed by your vehicle’s manufacturer and serviced by real dealership professionals. No games, no offshore call centers, no surprise exclusions.

Let’s break down the differences that matter.
