Identify Hidden Vehicle Coverage Gaps

Most drivers assume their warranty or protection plan covers more than it actually does.
SmartBuyer reveals the truth—so you never get blindsided by unexpected repair costs.

Before They Turn into Expensive Repair Bills.

Coverage gaps exist
because protection plans are confusing and vague.

Insurance, warranties, and extended plans are filled with exclusions. They describe coverage by categories—not by actual vehicle components—making it nearly impossible to understand what’s really protected.

Why coverage gaps are expensive:
  • High-failure parts like sensors, electronics, and cooling components often aren’t included

  • Many plans exclude labor, subcomponents, or “wear and tear” items

  • Small uncovered parts can create large repair bills

  • Fine print hides the most expensive exclusions.

THE BIG PROBLEM

Why drivers are blindsided:
  • Contracts aren’t designed to be clear

  • No tool maps protection to real vehicle parts

  • People assume “most things” are covered

  • The truth is usually discovered at the repair shop, not before

SmartBuyer changes that by showing you exactly where the gaps are—before anything breaks.

Why it matters:

You get complete transparency into what your protection plan actually covers—so you can prevent unexpected expenses.

Decode Your Vehicle

SmartBuyer analyzes all major vehicle systems—engine, drivetrain, electronics, cooling, AC, suspension, sensors, and more—providing clear explanations of each component along with typical repair costs so you know what matters most.

Step 2
Compare Components to Your Coverage

After you upload your warranty or insurance documents, SmartBuyer automatically maps each vehicle component to your plan’s terms, making it easy to see what’s covered, what isn’t, and where coverage may be limited.

Step 3
Get Your Gap Report

You receive a personalized, color-coded report that highlights hidden exclusions, partial coverage, uncovered or high-risk components, estimated repair costs, and priority items—presented in a clear, visual format that’s easy to understand.

A Breakdown Example

Here’s a simple example of where SmartBuyer makes a difference:

  • A VW owner gets a flat tire and assumes it’s covered by their protection plan.

  • At the shop, they discover tire replacement isn’t included — only “road hazard” events are.

  • The unexpected bill: $400 out of pocket.

  • With SmartBuyer, this uncovered component would have shown up immediately in the Gap Report, along with the typical replacement cost.

  • The driver could have planned ahead or chosen additional coverage—avoiding the surprise expense entirely.
