Your new Chevy is built for long-term performance and durability, backed up by a comprehensive warranty and roadside assistance. But you may be wondering exactly what’s covered by your Chevrolet warranty and what’s not. There are several components of your new vehicle’s warranty, and we’ll discuss the major elements below. For specific warranty questions, the service department at your local Chevy dealership is the best source of information.
Bumper-to-Bumper Chevrolet Warranty
Covering your vehicle from front to back and top to bottom, the bumper-to-bumper warranty is comprehensive protection against problems that arise due to defects in materials or workmanship. This coverage is valid for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, and includes parts, labor, and towing to the nearest dealership for covered repairs.
Routine maintenance and replacement of tires, brake pads, and other consumable parts are not covered under this warranty. Also excluded are the vehicle’s normal characteristics, like minor noise or vibrations. If damage occurs because of a lack of proper maintenance or an accident, that damage is also excluded from coverage.
Powertrain Limited Warranty
Providing protection for the engine, transmission/transaxle and transfer case, and drive systems like universal joints, bearings, and internally lubricated parts, this coverage outlasts your vehicle’s bumper-to-bumper coverage. Although some vehicles offer different warranty terms, most Chevy vehicles include 5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever comes first) of powertrain protection. Components like radiators, wiring, hoses, and sensors are not covered by your powertrain warranty.
Additional Coverages
Your new Chevy’s warranty also includes a Roadside Assistance plan that’s available 24/7/365. This service can deliver fuel if you run out, jump start your battery, unlock your vehicle, or provide a tow to the nearest authorized dealer. The duration of this warranty can be found in your Roadside Assistance plan. Other protections included in your warranty coverage are: Corrosion Protection, Rust-Through Protection, Federal Emissions Control System Warranty, and California Emission Control System Warranty.
Warranty Service at your Chevy Dealership
In order to be eligible for warranty coverage, your vehicle needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a GM dealer. Repairs done at other shops may not be reimbursed. If you’re experiencing an issue with your Chevrolet, contact the service department at your local dealer. They will evaluate the vehicle and may be able to offer courtesy transportation options for covered repairs.
