What Does the Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty Actually Cover?

The bumper-to-bumper warranty on a new Chevrolet covers most components against defects in materials or workmanship for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes things like the audio system, air conditioning, electrical components, and other parts that aren't related to the engine or drivetrain. Normal wear items like brake pads, wiper blades, and bulbs usually aren't included.

How Long Does the Powertrain Warranty Last?

Chevrolet backs the engine, transmission, and drive systems with a 5 year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. This covers internal components that could fail due to defects, giving owners some extra protection during their Piney Run Park visits on the parts that are the most expensive to repair.

Is There Coverage for Corrosion or Rust?

Yes. Chevrolet includes corrosion protection for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. As for rust, there is protection for 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This applies specifically to sheet metal that rusts through from the inside out, not surface rust caused by stone chips or road debris.

Does the Warranty Include Roadside Assistance?

New Chevrolet vehicles come with roadside assistance for the same term as the powertrain warranty, so 5 years or 60,000 miles in most cases. This typically covers things like towing, flat tire changes, lockout service, jump starts, and fuel delivery if you run out on the road.

What About Electric and Hybrid Vehicles?

Chevrolet EVs carry a separate battery warranty, generally 8 years or 100,000 miles, covering defects in the battery pack and other major electric drive components. This is longer than the standard powertrain term because battery durability tends to be a bigger concern for EV buyers.

Is the Warranty Transferable If I Sell the Car?

Yes. The remaining bumper-to-bumper and powertrain coverage transfers to a new owner if the vehicle is sold before the terms expire. This can be a selling point when it's time to trade in or sell privately, since the next buyer still gets factory-backed protection for their Old Washington Road drives.

Are There Any Deductibles?

Chevrolet's standard new vehicle warranty doesn't carry a deductible for covered repairs. Owners typically just bring the vehicle to our nearby dealership, and the cost of parts and labor for a covered issue is handled without an out of pocket charge.

What Voids the Warranty?

Modifications to the vehicle, use of aftermarket parts that cause damage, lack of required maintenance, and damage from accidents or misuse can all void specific parts of the coverage. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance and using approved service records helps avoid disputes if a claim comes up later.

Can I Extend the Coverage Beyond the Factory Terms?

Yes. Chevrolet offers extended protection plans that can stretch bumper to bumper coverage further, sometimes up to 5 years or 60,000 miles or beyond depending on the plan chosen. These are optional and priced separately from the standard included warranty. Speak with our dealership team if you have any further questions!
