Spread Out Age Warranty For Free

A new car warranty, also known as a manufacturer's warranty, helps pay for replacement parts or specific repairs during the stated warranty period. A new car warranty's length may vary by manufacturer, but most last at least three years or the first 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The 3-Year/36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty* provides bumper-to-bumper coverage for your vehicle, from the body to the electrical system. The warranty is also transferable, and it includes towing, if necessary.

Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically last between 3 years/36,000 miles and 5 years/60,000 miles, while powertrain warranties can extend up to 10 years/100,000 miles. Your factory warranty length depends on your car manufacturer, but it can be extended with a vehicle service contract.

The typical auto warranty coverage is 3 years/36,000 miles. That means the warranty would cover needed repairs in the first 3 years you own your car or for the first 36,000 miles you drive it, whichever comes first.

Powertrain: The powertrain warranty comes hand in hand with the bumper-to-bumper warranty, but it typically lasts a little longer; most automakers offer it for up to five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. It covers only the parts that make the vehicle go: the engine, transmission, and drivetrain.

All new cars have a warranty, which is effectively a guarantee from the manufacturer that if anything breaks or develops a fault, it will be replaced or repaired. The cover normally applies for three years or 60,000 miles, although there can be variations on this.
