What is a Pontiac Extended Warranty?A GM Pontiac service contract is a promise to perform (or pay for) certain repairs of services. Most consumers call this a "GM Pontiac Extended Warranty", however a GM Pontiac service contract is not a extended warranty as defined by federal law. The separate and additional cost distinguishes a service contract from a GM warranty. A General Motors Protection Plan (GMPP) may be arranged at any time and always costs extra; a GM Pontiac factory warranty comes with a new GM Pontiac and is included in the original price of the vehicle. Are you thinking about extending coverage on your Pontiac?If you are purchasing a GM Pontiac, or if you already own one, you may be thinking about getting some level of extended coverage beyond the normal GM Pontiac factory warranty. Although GM Pontiac's are generally very reliable vehicles, a General Motors Protection Plan, commonly referred to as a GM Pontiac extended warranty, may provide you with extra protection to offer you the peace of mind you are looking for. GMPP for your GM Pontiac can provide coverage that goes beyond the factory warranty of your vehicle, providing years of added protection. These General Motors Protection Plans (GMPP) are accepted nationwide at all GM dealers, and also afford you with most of the benefits provided with a new car purchase.

Their is only one factory backed protection plan, namely the GMPP - General Motors Protection Plan, in which is not a warranty at all, it is a service contract with a promise to perform (or pay for) mechanical breakdown.
