Continental Warranty Offers Protection Against a Slowing Economy

Continental Warranty's Consumer-Direct Extended Auto Warranty Service Offers Comprehensive Coverage at Wholesale Prices

To weather a rough economy, smart consumers find ways to save money by protecting the investments they rely on most, beginning with their cars.

(PRWEB) June 20, 2008 -- With the housing market in a slump, gas prices the highest on record and rising, and spiking unemployment rates, many people are more than worried about the long-term implications of a recessed economy. An increasing number of Americans are taking proactive measures to mitigate their expenses, including moving closer to work, trading in their cars for fuel-efficient hybrid models, and purchasing an auto warranty as a safeguard against unexpected breakdowns.

The consumer-direct auto warranty provider, Continental Warranty, has seen an increased interest in new and used car warranties. “The price of fuel is already alarming at nearly $5.00 a gallon in some states and all indications are that it will continue to climb,” says Steve Dunn, Regional Sales Manager. “Our clients look to an auto warranty as one way to stabilize an otherwise unpredictable future. These days, drivers know they can’t afford to take any chances with their cars.”

For many Americans, gas prices are a major concern, but not the only one. Consumers across the country face myriad threats to their financial security. Home foreclosures are rampant, interest rates remain high and unemployment rates have risen from 5 percent in April to 5.5 percent in May—the biggest one-month jump in two decades. It is the rare consumer who can keep pace with the rapid inflation without making alterations in spending. Many are putting off major purchases and have opted to save, not spend, their recent stimulus checks.

Auto warranty dealers like Continental Warranty offer security for drivers who look at car repairs as more than a hassle and who simply cannot afford to be without auto warranty protection in case of a mechanical breakdown that could cost $1,500 or more. The new car warranty is popular with the same consumers who are shopping for new technologies that make cars more fuel efficient and easier on the environment. For drivers who don’t have the option of purchasing a new car, a used car warranty is a simple and affordable alternative.

Among the consumer-direct auto warranty providers, Continental Warranty is favored by many car owners because of its long history and backing by some of the largest, most respected insurance companies in the nation. Offering special incentives to drivers, whether they need a new car warranty to protect their investment or a used car warranty to give them peace of mind, Continental Warranty provides much needed stability in a tenuous economy.
