Understanding Chevrolet’s Warranty Coverage

Before answering some frequently asked questions about Chevrolet’s manufacturer warranty, it’s important we outline exactly what this coverage involves.

Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty

This warranty covers your entire Chevrolet vehicle and protects you against any kind of manufacturing defects. It lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. If something’s wrong with your Chevy, you won’t have to pay for the labor and replacement parts that’ll go into fixing your issue. It doesn’t cover routine maintenance operations, normal operational noise, or any damage that results from mishandling the vehicle.

Powertrain Limited Warranty

This will cover you in case you encounter any powertrain issues during the first five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. The exact components it covers include:

• Engine parts: Such as the engine block, cylinder heads, timing gears, manifolds, oil pumps, and electrical components
• Transmission components: Including all electrical parts, seals, and gaskets
• Drive systems: Such as shafts, joints, bearings, and all internally lubricated parts

However, it won’t cover elements that are only adjacent to the powertrain. These include radiators, cooling lines, sensors, connectors, and wiring.

Emission Control Systems Warranty

This Chevrolet warranty ensures that your vehicle will meet specific emissions requirements. The Federal Emissions Control Warranty will cover all emissions-related components on cars and light-duty pickup trucks for two years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. Heavy-duty trucks have a longer warranty that stretches over five years or 50,000 miles.

Roadside Assistance

Chevrolet works with local businesses to provide roadside assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The exact duration varies, but typical coverage lasts five years or 60,000 miles. In case something goes wrong with your Chevy, you’ll get complimentary towing to the nearest Chevrolet dealer, a vehicle unlock service if you need it, plus quick fixes such as flat tire changes, battery recharging, and even emergency fuel delivery. In some cases, you can take advantage of courtesy transportation while your Chevy is being repaired, if the respective repairs are covered by your warranty.

Corrosion and Rust-Through Protection

You won’t have to worry about your Chevrolet getting corrosion during its first years on the road. All metal components are covered by Chevrolet’s corrosion warranty for three years or 36,000 miles. Your new vehicle also comes with a Chevrolet rust warranty, which covers holes made by excessive corrosion, for up to six years or 100,000 miles. This is particularly relevant in Florida, where you’re likely living in a high-humidity environment or coastal area.

First Maintenance Visit

Finally, your warranty also covers your first maintenance visit, as long as you do it at a certified dealership within your first year on the road. You’ll get a complimentary oil change, tire rotation, and multipoint inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chevrolet’s Warranty

The following are some questions drivers often ask regarding Chevrolet’s warranty coverage

Is My Chevrolet Warranty Coverage Transferable?

Yes, a Chevy vehicle’s warranty is transferable. This may interest you if you ever decide to sell, or if you’re planning on buying a slightly used one. You don’t have to do anything when selling or buying a Chevrolet; the warranty protection will transfer automatically at no extra cost. If you’ve recently bought a Chevrolet that’s still under warranty, we advise you to contact your local Chevrolet dealer. That way, you can make sure they have you in their database, so if you ever need warranty coverage, you’ll be able to get it quickly and easily.

What Is a Chevrolet Extended Warranty?

A Chevrolet extended warranty is an optional service that you can purchase through Chevy dealers such as Allen Turner Chevrolet. It can give you additional peace of mind by extending the terms of your original warranty. Coverage terms are available for up to eight years or 100,000 miles, but you can usually discuss the exact terms with your dealership to tailor a plan that fits your budget and specific needs.

What Do I Do in Case I Need a Warranty Repair?

These are the steps to take to benefit from a Chevrolet warranty repair:

1. Find your nearest Chevrolet dealer and contact them to schedule a service appointment. At Allen Turner Chevrolet, our service department in Crestview, Florida, provides an efficient and stress-free experience; you can even book an appointment online.
2. Make sure to bring all necessary documents with you, including your vehicle’s proof of ownership and registration, plus your warranty booklet.
3. Visit the dealership and let the Chevrolet technicians diagnose the issue. You may have to pay a diagnosis fee, but it’ll be reimbursed if the technicians conclude that the issue is covered by your warranty.
4. Authorize the repair and discuss the next steps with the dealership staff; they’ll let you know which parts need to be ordered and how long it should take to get your Chevrolet back on the road. Depending on your specific coverage, you may also get a loaner car to use while yours is in the shop.
5. Review your repair and drive away in your Chevrolet.

What Won’t Be Covered by My Chevrolet Warranty?

Some of the repairs that aren’t covered by your Chevrolet warranty include:

• Parts that are prone to wear out, such as windshield wipers and brake pads
• Damage from various external sources, such as weather phenomena, theft, and accidents
• Damage caused by improper use, including putting in low-quality fuel, installing improper modifications, and not performing regular maintenance operations on time
• Regular maintenance operations after your first maintenance visit
