The Chrysler Voyager is one of those vehicles that changed the American automotive landscape forever. The Voyager, along with the similar Dodge Caravan, introduced American automobile owners to the concept of the minivan. With front wheel drive, a low floor, ample amounts of interior and cargo space and a form factor that made it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, the Voyager became one of the most popular vehicles to own in the United States. The Chrysler Voyager, formerly known as the Plymouth Voyager, was slotted below the upscale town and country minivan during its time in production from 2000 to 2003. Offered in both short wheelbase and long wheelbase versions, the Voyager featured a 3.3-liter six-cylinder engine and a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine as popular powertrain choices.
Your Voyager may have come with a new car warranty that offers comprehensive coverage of most powertrain components. However, such warranties only last for a set number years or a set number of miles, whichever came first. When the new car warranty expires, you may end up paying for automotive repair bills out-of-pocket. These bills can become very expensive as the parts and labor costs add up – parts such as the alternator, air-conditioning compressor, water pump, fuel pump and CV joints can cost up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have replaced. If you have to replace the engine or transmission, you could easily spend up to $1000 on parts alone.
There are plenty of ways to save on automotive repairs. One good way to do just that is to have an extended warranty on your Chrysler Voyager. Having an extended warranty not only gives you peace of mind, but also helps you save money by taking care the repair cost you may have had to handle out-of-pocket. Having that type of coverage helps keep money in your pocket while keeping your Voyager on the road where it belongs. An extended warranty is available from a number of third-party companies for small monthly or yearly premium, and with most extended warranties, you will have to pay a deductible when you file a repair claim. In addition, you also receive extra features such as free roadside assistance and 24 hour towing, the freedom to choose your own repair facility and a free or reduced cost rental for the duration of the repair.
