What Exactly IS An Extended Vehicle Warranty?

Yesterday, we discussed the coverage that the Toyota warranty has, including ToyotaCare. The Toyota warranty covers your powertrain, basic components, rust-through, emissions, and your hybrid parts. ToyotaCare is your basic maintenance (oil change, tire rotation, and multipoint inspection). Today, we will focus on the practicality of extended vehicle warranties, also known as a vehicle service agreement. A vehicle service agreement is designed to offer peace of mind, in that it extends the length of time a customer can receive this all encompassing coverage of your vehicle service. Many people believe that you should wait to purchase an extended warranty, thinking that it is counterproductive to have two warranties simultaneously. On the contrary, extended warranties are based upon the vehicle’s age and mileage. In fact, the newer the vehicle, the lower the cost of the service agreement, so buying the extended vehicle warranty along with your new car locks in the rates at a lower price. The cost of waiting is much higher than the cost of an extended vehicle warranty. You may believe that the little things that may go wrong with your vehicle will not cost as much as the vehicle service contract. In reality, one major system could fail, and make the contract worthwhile in just one visit to Milton Ruben Toyota. The longer you wait, the higher the cost, so now is the time to cover your vehicle and your wallet with any of our extended warranty plans. Stay tuned over the next few days, as we will go into detail about the extended vehicle warranty levels, and what each one covers. The information we post will be sure to make your choice easier when purchasing the extended warranty that is right for you.

How to WIN A PRIUS at Milton Ruben Toyota! (with Recycling Perks of Augusta, GA)

With bikes moving in to the downtown area, it's no surprise that Augusta and the rest of the Central Savannah River Area is going green!  To get a little help in the initiative to slow down the growth of our landfills and work a little harder to keep those adorable baby seals and polar bear cubs on the tv commercials in mind, a program called Recycling Perks is coming to town!  And as if their little "perks" wasn't enough, they've partnered up with us to give away a car and get this #GreenAugusta project going! Have you heard about Recycling Perks yet? Well, it is exactly how it sounds.  The program is specifically designed to help those who help out, but gifting gift cards, discounts, coupons, and other financial gifting opportunities to those who recycle - every time they recycle! You can save up your recycling points and refund them online for a print-out or mailed in card and get your next lunch date and Longhorn Steakhouse for free! (That's just an example. A lot of other deals are on their Facebook page if you want to get an idea of the offerings.) As if signing up and cashing in isn't easy enough, they've set up another "perk" right in our Milton Ruben Toyota showroom!  CSRA members can come in and guess the number of recyclables we have stuffed in this Toyota Prius - and if you guess exactly correct - you could be driving home in it or another Prius next month! "That's too easy!" you say? "What's the catch??" you query?  There isn't one.  It's truly that simple.  Come in to our showroom, guess the exact number of recyclables stuffed into our Prius on RecyclingPerks.com from March 1 to April 30 - and win yourself a four-door hybrid of your very own.  Seriously! What do you have to lose?? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6mYNd4W_sWE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Stay in the loop on this non-profit community project as well as our Soles4Souls shoe drive, DriveBaby® Photo Contest, and Fort Gordon involvement by following us on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Pinterest, and Google!
