WHAT WAS COVERED IN THE JAGUAR FACTORY WARRANTY:

The Jaguar manufacturer’s warranty was updated recently in response to criticism that they weren’t protecting their high-maintenance cars. Jaguars may break down, but they are still built using very expensive parts and components.

Unfortunately for Jaguars, what was once an investment, quickly becomes a burden. This holds for owners once the warranty ends.

The Jaguar New Vehicle Warranty Includes:

  • 5-year / 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. This protects all-new Jaguar vehicles’ key “powertrain components. These parts include the components that allow the car to drive like the engine, transmission, and drive axle.
  • Unlike other luxury vehicles who offer bumper to bumper warranties for a shorter span than the powertrain warranty, Jaguar also includes 5-year / 60,000-mile warranty Jaguar Bumper to Bumper Warranty.

The combination of powertrain and bumper to bumper warranty with the same exact terms sounds like an advantage Jaguar has over other luxury brands. That is not the case. Jaguar is mostly trying to protect its reputation by including the expected repair costs for all of their cars in the initial sale price.

WHY JAGUAR’S NEED VEHICLE PROTECTION

Jaguar is a name that is synonymous with British luxury and style. They have been considered, next to Aston Martin, to be the symbol of British engineering for decades. Once upon a time they even supplied cars to the Queen, the Queen Mother, and Prince Charles.

Yet Jaguar is consistently plagued with the issue of dependability. They may have prestigious build quality and style, but they always rank low when it comes to reliability. Jaguar vehicles break down frequently and easily and the price to have those repairs taken care of is quite high.

While many automotive publications claim that the reliability of Jaguar is changing for the better, it was only two years ago when Jaguar started providing industry-consistent factory warranties for their cars. Jaguar is a decades-old institution, but they don’t quite know how to match the prestige of their nameplate with the demands of drivers who want a vehicle that performs as well as it looks.

Jaguars are an investment and we mean that in both good and bad ways. They need some sort of way to have the expected repairs AND unexpected repairs covered when they need them to be. Jaguar adheres to the industry minimum which is why shopping for third-party provided coverage is more important for their cars than other luxury vehicles.

HOW MUCH DOES AN JAGUAR EXTENDED WARRANTY COST?

Jaguar cars are among the most expensive to buy and even more expensive to own. They constantly rank low on reliability ratings. The cost of repair and replacement parts are incredibly high.

For an understanding of this, take a look at the most common Jaguar (across all current models) repairs:

  1. Alternator replacement—$687 to $1,499
  2. Water pump replacement—$953 to $3,805
  3. Head gasket replacement—$1,631 to $3,828

The irony is that breakdowns are considered unexpected, but Jaguars are expected to break down. So why leave yourself open especially once Jaguar stops paying for repairs? Jaguars, can and will break down over time, don’t get caught footing the bill! The key to owning a Jaguar is to have total protection for your vehicle.

JAGUAR VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR JAGUAR WARRANTY COVERAGE:

There are only a handful of Jaguar models in the US marketplace. The brand does this to make their cars rarer, similar to limited runs of other luxury items. Of their six main models, only four of them (the F-Type, F-Pace, S-Type and XJR) still qualify for Jaguar’s new vehicle warranty.

We can continue to support new and used Jaguar vehicles that no longer qualify for the Jaguar extended warranty.

F-Type XJ S-Type
XJR F-Pace XKR

 

Jaguar has gone through several overhauls in their lineups. They frequently discontinue vehicles and most of their models are merely different trims for the six that we listed above. Endurance can provide coverage to the vehicles listed above and many discontinued models as well.

CAN YOU GET A BUMPER TO BUMPER JAGUAR WARRANTY ON NEW AND USED VEHICLES?

If you have a Jaguar, there’s no question, you need extended vehicle protection. You will be using it for all the costly repairs that come with owning a Jaguar. And the best part of opting for one provided by a third-party company, like Endurance, is that coverage is available for all new and used Jaguar vehicles.

In addition to cutting the cost of Jaguar repairs, here is what else you get with a Jaguar protection plan:

  • Peace of mind—You never know when or where a Jaguar will have issues. If thinking about the inevitable costly car repairs keeps you up at night instead opt to for that extra safety net to put your mind at ease.
  • Long-term value— Jaguars is a difficult car to keep but most owners plan on keeping them for a long time. It is for this reason that extended coverage helps make the cost of Jaguar ownership more affordable over time without diminishing the value of the cars themselves.
  • Increased resale value—Just because your Jaguar is less expensive to own doesn’t mean it is less valuable. An extended protection plan makes it more in demand for resale and allows owners to actually raise the price when selling the car.
  • Additional services—Every protection plan will come with competitive benefits packages on par with automakers like 24-hour roadside assistance and rental cars.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING A JAGUAR EXTENDED WARRANTY:

Jaguar loves its air of mystique and exclusivity. That’s why they “encourage” Jaguar owners to keep using their dealerships and services for all repair work. However, it’s more beneficial for Jaguar owners to be able to take their car anywhere, whenever they need serious work done. Jaguar dealers are notorious for controlling prices, especially once the factory warranty is over.

AVERAGE REPAIR COSTS FOR A JAGUAR XJ (FROM REPAIR PAL, UPDATED AUGUST 2018):

Water Pump Replacement from $1273 to $1384
Head Gasket Replacement from $2191 to $3361
Oil Pump Replacement from $1795 to $2837
Alternator Replacement from $867 to $882
Door Window Motor Replacement from $392 to $544
Starter Replacement from $920 to $939

JAGUAR EXTENDED WARRANTY OR THIRD-PARTY VEHICLE PROTECTION?

You may believe that it is probably better to buy an extended warranty for a Jaguar directly from the manufacturer. However, not only does Jaguar give owners a handful of restrictions and term limits, but they also overcharge for this warranty.

They are increasing the cost of ownership of their cars because they want you to believe that their warranties are your only option for coverage. The truth is Jaguar-provided plans simply can’t compare to third-party offerings.

As a direct provider of vehicle protection, Endurance, can offer drivers affordable plans with competitive rates for the absolute longest coverage terms.

Coverage from Endurance can cover repairs for the following components:

  • Air Conditioner
  • Brake Systems
  • Cooling System
  • Drive Axle Assembly
  • Electronic Components
  • Engine
  • Front & Rear Suspension
  • Fuel System
  • Transfer Unit
  • Transmission
  • Turbocharger / Supercharger

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING JAGUAR VEHICLE PROTECTION FROM ENDURANCE?

Jaguar customers run into issues with their vehicles regularly and with alarming frequency. However, Endurance is ready for those. We know what the common big-ticket repairs are on every Jaguar model and how much they can and should cost for owners.

Endurance will give Jaguars every option and advantage they need to keep their car up and running. We get it: Jaguars are a status symbol. That is why it is deeply important for every Jaguar driver to have one that works. They should also have every perks and privilege that vehicle owners of other cars get from their automakers that Jaguar simply doesn’t have:

  • Payment options for any budget.
  • Award-winning customer service.
  • Your choice of a licensed mechanic.
  • Claims paid directly to the repair centers.
  • A risk-free 30-day trial period with a money-back guarantee

Jaguar only recently increased the scope of its warranty. Unfortunately, this was primarily aimed at attracting new car buyers as opposed to helping them save money on repairs

A Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) is often referred to as an "auto warranty" or an "extended car warranty," but it is not a warranty. A VSC does, however, provide repair coverage for your vehicle after the manufacturer’s car warranty expires. A VSC is a contract between you and a VSC provider or administrator that states what is a covered repair and what is not.
