Honda Accord Extended Warranty

Disclosure: This content was produced by an independent editorial party for the purposes of educating our customers, and is not influenced by the other business operations of CARCHEX. Any plans offered by CARCHEX are not extended warranties, but are often referred to by consumers as such. CARCHEX vehicle service contracts (also called “protection plans”) operate similarly to extended warranties and provide repair coverage for mechanical breakdowns after factory warranties expire.

At CARCHEX, our specialists can help you find a personalized Honda Accord vehicle service contract that can save you thousands on costly repairs and maintenance bills. When searching for new and used vehicles, know that Honda Accord manufacturer’s warranty is limited. 

RepairPal ranks the Accord first out of 24 midsize cars for overall reliability. So, why would you need a Honda Accord vehicle service contract? Isn’t your vehicle reliable enough?

Of course, even with high reliability rankings, your Honda Accord can still cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs. An extended vehicle service contract protects you from the financial stress of a mechanical breakdown.

Whether you need a vehicle service contact may also largely depend on how old your Honda Accord is. A Honda Accord that’s three years old is far less likely to experience mechanical issues compared to one that’s six years old, for example. 

How Much Does a Honda Accord Cost to Repair?

There are a few common problems that Accord drivers report. Here are a few common repairs and their respective costs, pulled from RepairPal data:

These numbers can increase into the thousands for full engine or transmission replacements. If you don’t have that kind of money already saved in your emergency fund, then it can be difficult to get out of a bad situation.

A long-term vehicle protection plan can cost less than $1,500 and be paid in monthly installments over the course of one year or more.

The Honda Accord ranks as one of the most reliable cars in the U.S. When you’re driving one of the safest vehicles on the road, you want to keep it protected past the limits of its original manufacturer’s warranty.

Honda Care is the Honda brand’s extended protection program. If you’re looking for a Honda Accord extended warranty, then you have the option of any four coverage plans:

• New Vehicle Coverage
• Pre-Owned Vehicle Coverage
• Certified Additional Coverage
• Powertrain Coverage

New Vehicle, Pre-Owned, and Certified Additional Coverage plans include the vehicle’s:

• Drivetrain
• Electronics
• Suspension
• Steering
• Braking
• Heating
• Cooling
• Other vehicle systems

The Powertrain plan (engine, transmission, drive axle) is available for pre-owned Hondas only. With a Honda Accord extended warranty, you cut the risk of having to pay out-of-pocket costs for repairs on your vehicle.

Even though Honda Care offers terms up to eight years or 120,000 miles, the program won’t cover vehicles for as long as a third-party auto warranty company.

Finding extended coverage* through an accredited third party may prove more beneficial than going through Honda Care. CARCHEX offers five different service plans that let you pick and choose what coverage you want, for total control over your savings and service options.

Our plans are available for new and used vehicles. Plans include:

• Titanium—Exclusionary coverage with only a short list of components that aren’t covered
• Platinum—Highest stated-component coverage with key parts of all vehicle systems protected
• Powertrain Plus—Goes beyond basic powertrain coverage to protect the air conditioning and various electrical components
• Powertrain—Covers the engine, transmission, drive axle, and transfer case
• Extra Care—Protects components not related to the powertrain, including the electrical system, steering, suspension, and brakes

CARCHEX does not discriminate against used or high–mileage vehicles, and you don’t have to be within your factory warranty’s coverage term to be eligible. If your Honda Accord is used and over 120,000 miles, then a Honda Accord protection plan from CARCHEX is another option.
