Car and home warranty in Ann Arbor, MI

Driving in Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor is a mid-size city, so drivers here tend to mix local trips with highway miles to neighboring towns. Highway miles add up quickly, which means the mileage limit on a factory warranty can arrive before the years run out. Ann Arbor is about 36 miles from Detroit, the largest city in Michigan on our list.

Road salt and freeze-thaw potholes are the defining conditions. Struts, control arms, wheel bearings and steering components wear faster on broken pavement. Rust itself is not a covered failure under a service contract, but the mechanical parts that wear out on rough, salted roads are.

Michigan uses a great deal of road salt and has some of the roughest pavement in the Midwest, a hard combination for suspension and steering parts.

Homes in Ann Arbor

The furnace or boiler is the system that matters most, running for five months or more. Frozen pipes are a seasonal risk, though freeze damage is typically excluded from home warranties and belongs with your homeowners insurance. Sump pumps are a common optional add-on in homes with basements.
