The Palmetto State shares in the national spotlight, with Charleston and Greenville consistently ranked among America’s friendliest cities. It’s mainly because the cobblestone streets of Charleston depict a rich heritage, and Fort Sumter excites the history enthusiasts and foodies to cherish the famous low-country cuisine. With year-long mild weather conditions, South Carolina offers miles of coastline, sandy beaches, and golf courses at Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head. Families love visiting the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, Falls Park in Greenville, and Saluda Shoals Park for recreational activities.
The tourism industry in South Carolina is huge, with major expenses of around $29 billion, and 200,000+ job opportunities attributed to the travel and hospitality of the tourists. Each season welcomes people from around the world to enjoy azaleas and plantation tours in spring, while autumn has beach weather and the World Cup of hunting. Annually, the Myrtle Beach resorts host over 20 million visitors, Hilton Head Island draws 2 million for its oak-lined bike paths, low-country cuisine, and championship golf, and the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor sees 150,000 visitors learning about West African-influenced arts & crafts.
South Carolina is also a major auto manufacturing hub, hosting the BMW plant at Spartanburg and the Volvo factory at Charleston. Rivian, the electric truck manufacturer, and battery plants have announced billions in investments. In 2022, nearly 192,000 new cars were sold, generating $950 million in state tax revenues. Also, with such a diverse sector, the demand for South Carolina workers in high-tech engineering and infrastructure improvements is high as well.
The Motor Vehicle Express Warranty Act for new vehicle owners only covers those “purchased and registered” in the state, excluding used cars. The Express warranties run out after 12 months, or if you have driven your vehicle 12,000 miles (whichever happens first). The defects you may encounter within that period entitle owners to repurchase, replacement, or repair through a free arbitration program. However, people seek help from companies offering extended warranty services for extended care. By law, manufacturers are bound to post Lemon Law posters at dealerships and provide clear procedural rights to customers, including written notice of defects and documentation of repair history.
South Carolinians experience a hot, humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and freezing winters. Hurricanes and tropical storms threaten the coast, with flood risks. The vehicles in Charleston, Beaufort, and along the Grand Strand face accelerated wear from salt air exposure, hence, protections for electrical systems and corrosion control for undercarriage to cater to humid environments are a must. In summer, South Carolina experiences temperatures above 90°F, asserting the need for advanced cooling systems to safeguard the air conditioning system and prevent thermal stress to the engine and tires. Also, since vehicles continue to move in high-tourism areas like Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Hilton Head, additional care is required, e.g., enhanced brake systems and measures to deal with transmission stress and wear-and-tear.
Since South Carolina drivers pay an average of $1,742 annually on vehicle maintenance and repairs, with each major repair costing between $1,200 to $5,000, it is wise to invest in a reliable auto warranty company. 67% of South Carolina drivers don't even have adequate savings to cover a major vehicle repair emergency.
