Automotive Service Contracts, Worth It?

 If you've bought a car from a dealership recently, especially a used car,  chances are you were handed something that was described to you as a great way to keep a major car repair from sending you to the poor house -- the service contract. These service contracts run the gamut of coverage, from insuring every system and aspect of your car or truck to paying you only if a total detonation of your engine occurs. I'm of the opinion that these contracts are almost never worth the money. The chances of an extremely high dollar repair becoming necessary aren't high enough to warrant the cost of the coverage. But don't take it from me, check out this article from the Better Business Bureau that will let you know exactly how wasteful these service contracts can be to your budget.
