What Are The Different Extended Warranties You Can Purchase

It can be so exciting and sometimes nerve-racking to go to a dealership and buy a new or used vehicle, but one thing buyers need to be aware of is reliability. No matter how great a car is or even how reliable it has been for other people, things happen. Some vehicles are better than others, and things can go wrong. This is why car manufacturers give you a standard warranty for your new car, and some used cars can come with a warranty for a certain period of time, or the remainder of the warranty from when it was purchased new. 

No Warranty, More Problems

If you don’t have a warranty and something goes wrong, you could possibly be on the hook for thousands of dollars in service fees for many common and uncommon repairs. This is why an extended warranty is one of the best peace-of-mind purchases you can make when buying any car. Suppose you are buying a new or used car at a Chevrolet dealership. In that case, you can add that extra warranty cost into the overall purchase price of the vehicle, allowing you to worry less about putting up more money as a down payment or as an additional cost. Or, if you prefer, you can purchase a warranty after buying your car. 

Chevrolet Extended Warranties

Chevrolet offers customers three different options when it comes to an extended warranty: Powertrain, Silver, and Platinum Protection plans. They work alongside your factory warranty and can last as long as eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.

A Breakdown of Coverage

Below is a table breaking down all of what the Chevrolet extended warranty coverages provide.

A Warranty Is More Than Maintenance

Extended warranties aren’t just about ensuring you can get your vehicle serviced if something goes wrong. No, it’s also about the perks of day-to-day ownership and any inconveniences that happen. Roadside assistance is an important feature in any warranty, as are rental car coverage and trip interruption benefits. The Chevrolet extended warranties include all of those features. 

What Isn’t Covered

Remember that warranties do not cover regularly scheduled maintenance, such as brakes, oil changes, filter changes, fluid flushes, etc. If you neglect your vehicle’s maintenance and something goes wrong, that will not be covered either. There are other exclusions, and you should read the warranty contract and discuss it with your sales representative or the finance department to allow for detailed explanations. 

EV Warranty

If you have an electric Chevrolet, they also have an extended warranty program for EVs with up to eight years or 100,000 miles of extra coverage, and the plan types and coverage are very similar.
