Imagine this: it’s Monday morning, and as you’re driving to work, your car makes an unusual noise. It’s been your reliable companion for years, but lately, it’s been showing its age. You’re not alone. We found that 72% of drivers owning vehicles older than four years*, it’s a reality many of us face.


Add to the fact that nearly a third of drivers have faced sudden mechanical or electrical failure*, and it’s clear that reliability isn’t just a consideration—it’s a critical factor for car owners.


That’s why we created the Warrantywise Reliability Index. Packed with model specific insights from our repair database such as average repair costs and age and mileage at time of fault. It’s designed to help you make smarter, more informed choices about the vehicles you drive.
