Automotive extended warranty, also known as a service contract, is a type of protection plan that covers the cost of repairs or replacement of certain parts and systems in a vehicle after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. This type of warranty is typically purchased separately from the vehicle and is provided by the manufacturer, dealership, or third-party providers. The manufacturer's warranty, also known as the factory warranty, is a guarantee that covers the cost of repairs for a certain period of time or mileage, usually for three to five years or up to a certain number of miles driven.

However, once this warranty expires, the vehicle owner is responsible for any repairs or replacements needed, which are costly. Extended warranties often come with different levels of coverage, ranging from original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket or third-party administrators. These include coverage for parts such as the engine, transmission, electrical systems, and air conditioning. Some extended warranties also include roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, and other benefits.

The word, ‘supply chain’, refers to all procedures involved in transforming an idea into a tangible good or service, through a series of intermediate production, distribution, and disposal phases. These procedures include production, distribution, design, marketing, and customer support services.

While COVID-19 has affected nearly every aspect of the economy, the automotive industry is amongst the most affected ones. The industry is still coping with the dual effects of declining sales and rising costs, which have put OEMs and suppliers in a difficult financial position. Due to consecutive lockdowns, social distancing norms, and a decrease in global demand for new vehicles, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the auto extended warranty market. Severe lockdowns and shutdowns halted customer movement and severely disrupted automotive warranty companies, which were major factors in the decline of automobile extended warranties during the pandemic.

Several customers were unable to service vehicles that were due for maintenance because of the worldwide lockdown. Different four-wheeler and two-wheeler companies announced an extension on the warranty and service schedule for all of their vehicles for a specific amount of time in order to reduce the losses. The majority of them offered warranty extensions of at least 1 month and often 3 months. For instance, Jaguar Land Rover announced an extension to its customers' service and warranty on April 30, 2020. Service schedule intervals were increased by two months 3,200 kilometers. Owners whose extended warranties expired between March 23 and the end of the lockdown were also given due consideration. These owners had the right to warranty claims for repairs for up to 1,000 kilometers or 30 days following the lifting of the lockdown. Furthermore, Royal Enfield announced a two-month extension on April 13, 2020, for RE owners whose free services and warranties expire between March 22 and April 14, 2020. These measures were adopted by the car manufacturers in order to handle the dip in demand post-COVID-19.
