Extended Auto Warranty in Birmingham, AL — Coverage, Plans & Claims
Birmingham drivers can protect their vehicles with Athena Auto Protection's extended warranty plans. Birmingham's industrial heritage and working-class economy mean vehicles are used harder and held longer than the national average — with pickup trucks and SUVs making up a larger share of the fleet than in most Southern cities. With 580K registered vehicles in the metro area, an average vehicle age of 13.0 years, and shop labor rates averaging $95/hr, cost protection matters. Athena offers a $100 flat deductible, 48-hour claim processing, and the freedom to use any licensed repair facility in Birmingham or anywhere in Alabama.
