Any time you make a substantial investment in an important piece of equipment, you need to know whether the manufacturer or dealer will stand behind what they sell. While a warranty can go a long way toward ensuring a product performs and lasts as advertised, remember that a warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind it.
Obviously, a written warranty is much stronger than a verbal or implied warranty. By putting a warranty in writing, a company is not only standing behind what it sells, but also legally specifying the terms and conditions of the warranty.
When you’re shopping for any large item like a snowplow or a spreader, a warranty should always be a part of your purchase decision. Here are some general topics to consider when reading any warranty:
- Check the warranty to see how long it lasts, when it begins, when it expires, and what conditions void coverage.
- Check to see what parts or repairs are covered, as well as whether the company will repair or replace the item.
- Find out who to contact to get warranty service. A seller may offer a warranty, but remember, the warranty is only as strong as the company that stands behind it. Manufacturers and authorized dealers offer stronger warranty protection because they have invested more in their business reputations than an independent seller or retailer. In addition, a manufacturer’s warranty is better than a service contract from an independent party or seller because the replacement parts will come directly from the manufacturer and will be installed by certified and factory-trained technicians.
- Another pitfall of a warranty from an independent seller or retailer is the use of aftermarket components, which could void the manufacturer’s original warranty, or cause premature failure of other individual components as well as the entire system.
- Be aware of how easy it will be to have warranty service performed, as well as how easy it is to locate an authorized dealer that backs the warranty.
- Make sure the warranty provides the coverage that meets your needs.
