      Do You Know What Your Car Warranty Should Cover?

      Mondo Admin / 23-05-2024 / Financial News

      Do You Know What Your Car Warranty Should Cover? Top 3 Things You Need To Know

      Are you prepared for expensive repair costs if your vehicle suddenly breaks down? If your car is new and still covered by the Factory Warranty, you’re safe—for now. But what happens when that warranty expires?

      Unless you have an Extended Car Warranty when your vehicle is no longer protected by the standard Factory Warranty, you’ll be left paying hefty bills for mechanical breakdowns and electrical failures on your own.

      An Extended Car Warranty is your safety net against the unforeseen risk of parts failing, extending beyond the routine service plan or a wear and tear maintenance plan.

      However, many drivers are often left in the dark about what their car warranty covers, so we’re breaking down the top three things you need to know about your car warranty and helping you navigate the fine print.

      Your extended car warranty needs to cover: 

      1.Parts

      If you don’t have spare cash to cover the cost of a new battery, water pump, clutch kit, compressor unit, or alternator, you’ll be left carless. These are some of the most common car parts prone to failure, and some of them can cost over R10,000 each, before labour.

      However, with an Extended Car Warranty, when your car experiences mechanical or electrical problems, you're financially protected.

      An Extended Car Warranty not only covers the costs of common parts but also safeguards you against the costs of repairing or replacing the most expensive components, such as complete engines and gearboxes, which can set you back tens of thousands of Rands.


      2.Labour

      When it comes to vehicle repairs, it's not just the cost of parts that add up—it's also the expense of skilled labour. That's why an Extended Car Warranty covers the associated labour costs.

      To ensure that repairs are carried out by reputable professionals, the warranty stipulates that labour must be performed by your preferred RMI (Retail Motor Industry Organisation) approved repair centre. RMI-certified professionals assure that the job will be done to the highest industry standards of quality, so you can get back on the road with confidence knowing you’re safe and protected.


      3.Transport & towing 

      Towing and transportation services can be expensive if paid out of pocket, often exceeding R1 000 upfront, depending on the distance you need to travel. By having these benefits built into your motor warranty, you save a significant amount of money.

      With this service in place, you can breathe easier knowing that you won't be left stranded on the side of the road in the event of a breakdown. Plus, coordinating a tow or finding a rental car can be time-consuming and complicated, especially when you’re in the middle of an emergency. This service typically covers the cost of towing your vehicle to the nearest authorised repair facility, ensuring you’re not left alone to handle the logistics during a stressful situation.

The Samsung Galaxy A36 is built for fast, reliable everyday use, while the Samsung Galaxy A26 keeps things efficient and simple.Camera-wise, the Samsung Galaxy A56 leads with a top-tier setup, but the Samsung Galaxy A36 and Samsung Galaxy A26 still impress with quality shots.Let’s help you find your perfect match.Display and BuildThe new A Series line-up brings a noticeable upgrade in design. The Samsung Galaxy A56, A36 and A26 are all lighter, slimmer and sleeker than their predecessors. Just holding one, you’ll feel the difference.Samsung has stepped up its game with better materials, improved displays and finishes that look more premium across the board.Samsung Galaxy A56Each of the three new devices come in four “awesome” colours. With the top end A56, you can pick from Awesome Graphite, Awesome Pink, Awesome Light Grey and Awesome Olive. This smartphone oozes subtle class. While the rear is pretty minimalist, the metal frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ add both durability and style. With IP67 protection, the Samsung Galaxy A56 can handle splashes and dust impressively. The 6.7-inch FHD+ Super AMOLED display is a touch larger than its predecessor and absolutely shines when it comes to colour and clarity. With a silky-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, everything from streaming to gaming to your late-night doom-scrolling feels ultra-fluid and responsive.Samsung Galaxy A36The mid-tier option, the Samsung Galaxy A36 has a polished finish that looks high-end without bumping up the price. This device is available in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Lime, Awesome White and Awesome Black. It’s thinner and lighter than the Samsung Galaxy A35 but with a bigger 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display that now includes a 120Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth visuals. It also carries the same IP67 rating, so spills and dust won’t slow you down.Samsung Galaxy A26Don’t let the price fool you, this entry-level gem holds its own. Available in Awesome Mint, Awesome Peach Pink, Awesome White and Awesome Black, the Samsung Galaxy A26 sports the same generous 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display and 120Hz refresh rate as its siblings. With IP67 resistance, it’s tough enough for life’s little accidents like a coffee spill or a beach day gone wrong.PerformanceWhile at first glance, these smartphones might look similar, dig a little deeper and you’ll find some key differences in how they handle your day-to-day needs.Samsung Galaxy A56Power users, this one’s for you. The Samsung Galaxy A56 comes equipped with Samsung’s Exynos 1580 chipset, backed by 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. It’s built to deliver smooth multitasking, fast app launches and solid gaming performance. While there’s no option for external storage, that 128GB should be more than enough for the average user. From managing work on the go to a weekend binge-a-thon, the Samsung Galaxy A56 seems to cover it all easily.Samsung Galaxy A36The Samsung Galaxy A36 hits a sweet spot between performance and price. It runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 8GB RAM and a massive 256GB internal storage. No external storage here either, but with that many Gigabytes standard its not really needed. Whether you're checking emails, switching between social apps or doing a bit of gaming, the Samsung Galaxy A36 keeps pace without overheating or lagging. It’s ideal for someone who wants reliable speed without going full premium.Samsung Galaxy A26This is where affordability meets functionality. The Samsung Galaxy A26 packs in the Exynos 1380 chipset along with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. But here's the bonus. This device includes external storage support up to 2TB, which is rare in the budget smartphone range. That makes it a great fit for users who want the flexibility to store plenty of photos, videos and offline content. While it won’t compete with the Samsung Galaxy A56 for speed, it’s a dependable choice for calls, messages, light app use and casual browsing.CameraWe all love good camera specs because that makes for great pictures. The new Galaxy A series delivers in this department. All three models bring solid camera setups.Samsung Galaxy A56The Samsung Galaxy A56 is built for the content creators and selfie pros. The main camera is a versatile triple-lens setup. A 50MP main camera that automatically recognises elements like skies, faces and skin tones to fine-tune your shots, a 12MP ultra-wide for those epic landscapes and a 5MP macro for close-up detail. And photobombers? A thing of the past now thanks to the Object Eraser feature that lets you clean up your background with a single tap. Motion Photos make it easy to pick the best expression for each person in your group shots. And up front, the 12MP selfie camera delivers sharp contrast and rich detail so every selfie hits the mark.Samsung Galaxy A36The Samsung Galaxy A36 also packs a triple-lens rear camera setup. This time with a 50MP wide-angle, 8MP ultra-wide and 5MP macro camera that covers you whether you're capturing sweeping views or small details. On the front, the 13MP selfie camera delivers crisp, bright shots every time. While it shares some specs with last year’s Samsung Galaxy A25, new additions like Photo Remaster automatically enhance your pics with improved clarity and colour, giving every shot that extra edge.Samsung Galaxy A26Even though it’s the cheaper of the three, the Samsung Galaxy A26 brings a dependable triple-lens camera system to your pocket, featuring a 50MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP depth lens perfect for everything from sweeping landscapes to sharp portrait shots and up front, you get the 13MP selfie camera that handles close up easily.Battery LifeWhen it comes to battery life, the Samsung A series gives you plenty of power to get through the day without constantly reaching for the charger.Samsung Galaxy A56The Samsung Galaxy A56 comes with a 5000mAh battery, offering up to 29 hours of video playback. This is an upgrade from the A55, which delivered 28 hours.Samsung Galaxy A36The Samsung Galaxy A36 matches the Samsung Galaxy A56 with the same 5000mAh battery, also offering up to 29 hours of video playback, up from 26 hours on the A35. So, if you're looking for long-lasting power with a solid performance boost, the Samsung Galaxy A36 is a great middle ground.Samsung Galaxy A26On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy A26 offers a 5000mAh battery, but with up to 17 hours of video playback, a bit of a dip from the Samsung A25, which could manage 21 hours. This is mainly down to the fact that the processor on the A26 is the more powerful of the two. But even though it’s not as long-lasting as its higher-end siblings, the Samsung Galaxy A26 still provides solid battery life for everyday use.ConclusionEach Samsung smartphone in the Galaxy A range offers something special depending on your needs and budget. The Galaxy A56 should be your go-to if you want top-tier performance, a stunning camera and a sleek design all rolled into one powerful device. If you're after a solid balance between performance and value, the Galaxy A36 delivers with its versatile camera and dependable all-around performance. On a tighter budget?

      Comparing the HONOR X9c and HONOR X7c? Discover which budget-friendly smartphone offers the best durability, battery life, camera and performance in this in-depth showdown. Find the perfect HONOR device for your needs!HONOR X9c vs. HONOR X7c: A Budget Smartphone ShowdownThrow them, boil them, dunk them in ice – the HONOR X9c and HONOR X7c seem to be indestructible.Or are they?We’re pitting two of HONOR’s latest devices – the HONOR X9c and HONOR X7c- against each other to see which one stands out.Whether you’re after durability, long-lasting battery life, or a capable camera, these two smartphones bring their A-game. But how do they measure up in a side-by-side comparison? And more importantly, which one’s the better fit for you?We’re putting both smartphones to the test, so if you’re on the hunt for your next device, keep reading to find out which HONOR model emerges victorious.The True Durability ChampionThe HONOR X9c isn’t just tough, it’s built for extremes. HONOR even calls it “unbreakable,” a claim that was recently put to the test during the phone’s launch. Guests were invited to use the phone to break wood, hammer a nail into a board and even throw it into water. It was submerged in boiling water, dunked in ice and still came out working perfectly!Designed to function in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 55°C, the HONOR X9c proved its resilience in real-world scenarios. With ultra-tempered glass protection, it resists scratches and survives drops from up to 2 meters. Its IP65 rating ensures solid dust and water resistance, continuing to function after being submerged in 25cm of water for up to 5 minutes.The HONOR X7c, while still reliable, isn’t quite as tough. It features a standard glass display and an IP64 rating, making it resistant to dust and light splashes but lacking the same level of drop protection as the HONOR X9c. However, it does offer 5-star drop resistance and has passed a 3-minute washing test, proving it can handle everyday mishaps.When it comes to durability, the HONOR X9c clearly takes the lead. Its “unbreakable” design, ability to endure extreme conditions and top-tier protection features set it apart from the HONOR X7c. While the HONOR X7c remains a sturdy option for daily use, the HONOR X9c’s tougher build and superior resistance to drops, temperature extremes and water make it the best choice for those who require a phone that can truly handle life’s challenges. If you're someone who values durability above all else, the HONOR X9c is the clear winner in this category, offering peace of mind and reliability in even the harshest environments.HONOR X9c vs. HONOR X7c comparison: DesignWith a sleek 6.78-inch OLED display, the HONOR X9c delivers vibrant colours, deep blacks and crisp visuals, making it perfect for streaming, gaming and browsing. Whether you're watching your favourite shows or scrolling social media, the OLED technology enhances every detail for a more immersive viewing experience. The 120Hz refresh rate is another plus, ensuring fluid interactions and providing a seamless experience.Beyond performance, the HONOR X9c makes a statement with its sleek design. Available in Black and Jade Cyan, it blends sophistication and durability, making it a standout device for users who appreciate both style and strength.For a budget-friendly option, the HONOR X7c features a 6.77-inch LCD screen, offering clear visuals for everyday tasks. While great for casual browsing, messaging and video calls, it lacks the deep contrast that comes with OLED tech.On the outside, the HONOR X7c comes in Midnight Black and Forest Green.It’s an incredibly stylish, dependable choice for those who want a capable smartphone at an affordable price. However, if display quality is a priority, the HONOR X9c comes out on top again.HONOR X9c vs. HONOR X7c comparison: Camera FeaturesWhen it comes to photography, both the HONOR X9c and HONOR X7c deliver solid performance but each has its own strengths.The HONOR X9c stands out with a 108MP main camera that captures sharp detail even in low light. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) ensures steady shots and smooth videos, even with shaky hands. A 5MP wide lens is perfect for group shots and landscapes, while the 16MP front camera delivers crisp selfies. AI-powered enhancements adjust every shot, bringing out vibrant colours and rich detail.The HONOR X7c also has a 108MP main camera for high-resolution images. However, it lacks OIS, so low-light shots and videos may not be as sharp. Instead of an ultra-wide lens, it includes a 2MP depth sensor for a nice bokeh effect, making portraits pop. The 8MP front camera provides good quality for everyday selfies.If low-light photography and video stability are priorities, the HONOR X9c is the victor here. But if you're looking for a budget-friendly option with a more-than-decent camera, the HONOR X7c still delivers excellent results.HONOR X9c vs. HONOR X7c comparison: Battery &amp; ChargingThe HONOR X9c packs a 6600mAh battery with 66W SuperCharge, delivering impressive longevity. With up to three days of battery life, it provides 25.8 hours of online video playback and 48.4 hours of music streaming – perfect for entertainment on the go. Whether you're binge-watching a show or navigating a busy schedule, the HONOR X9c keeps up without constant recharging.The HONOR X7c, while slightly less powerful, still stays powered up all day with its 6000mAh Super Durable battery and 35W SuperCharge. It delivers 24 hours of video streaming, 59 hours of music playback, or 46 hours of call time. For those who rely on their phones for mainly calls, Ultra Power Saving Mode ensures you have at least 2% battery which can last for an impressive 75 minutes of talk time – a real lifesaver in critical or unexpected moments.For heavy users who are always on the go, the HONOR X9c’s battery life is a significant advantage. Whether you're streaming content, playing games or using apps, you won’t have to worry about running out of power.The HONOR X7c’s battery life may not be as long lasting but still impressive – especially for a budget device.It may not last as long during heavy usage, but you still get 14-hour online streaming and 59 hours music playback, to name a few.Even though the HONOR X9c goes that extra mile, you won’t be left powerless with either one of these devices, so we’re calling this a tie!HONOR X9c vs. HONOR X7c comparison:&nbsp;Storage &amp; PerformanceBoth devices offer 256GB of storage, giving you plenty of space for apps, photos and videos – perfect if you prefer keeping everything on your smartphone rather than relying on the cloud.But when it comes to performance, the HONOR X9c takes the lead with its Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, delivering faster speeds and better efficiency. Whether you're multitasking or using demanding apps, the experience is smooth and responsive.The HONOR X7c, powered by the Snapdragon 685, handles everyday tasks well but doesn’t quite match the performance of the HONOR X9c. While it's a solid option for basic use, you may notice a difference with heavier apps.If you’re looking for a future-proof smartphone with superior multitasking capabilities, the HONOR X9c stands out. But if your needs are simpler and you want a reliable, budget-friendly option, the HONOR X7c still delivers solid value.For mobile gamers, the HONOR X9c’s upgraded chipset ensures smoother gameplay with reduced lag, making it better suited for fast-paced games.

With enhanced durability, advanced cameras, and faster processing, it can handle whatever life throws your way.HONOR X7c: A reliable, budget-friendly option with solid performance for everyday tasks. It delivers great specs and durability without the added cost, making it ideal for users who don’t need extreme protection but still want a capable smartphone.Overall verdict:Both the HONOR X9c and HONOR X7c offer great value, and while the final choice depends on your needs, our winner in this head-to-head is the HONOR X9c – because how often can you find a phone that can take this much punishment and come out working on the other side?Ready for an HONORable upgrade?
