What Is A Car Warranty Or VSC Waiting Period?

A car warranty waiting period is the timeframe after purchasing an extended warranty during which no claims can be filed.

Tracking your start date and mileage, keeping up with maintenance, and storing your VSC documents are key to maximizing protection.
