When you invest in a new Chevrolet, knowing what is covered gives you real peace of mind. The Chevy warranty is one of the most comprehensive coverage packages available in the automotive industry today. Here is a straightforward breakdown of what the Chevrolet warranty covers and what it means for you as a new Chevrolet owner in Prosser and the Yakima Valley.
Chevrolet's New Car Warranty Coverage
Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty
3 Years or 36,000 Miles
The Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty covers your entire new Chevrolet for 3 years or 36,000 miles. This coverage includes defects in materials and workmanship on virtually all components. Most minor issues that arise during normal use are covered under this portion of the Chevrolet warranty.
Powertrain Limited Warranty
5 Years or 60,000 Miles
The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the most critical and expensive components of your new Chevrolet. Those components include the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage gives Chevrolet owners real long-term confidence in their investment.
Corrosion Warranty
6 Years or 100,000 Miles
The Chevy warranty provides corrosion protection for 6 years or 100,000 miles on all new vehicles. This coverage protects against rust perforation on body sheet metal panels. It is a meaningful benefit for Eastern Washington drivers who deal with road salt and harsh winter conditions.
Roadside Assistance
5 Years or 60,000 Miles
Every new Chevrolet comes with 5 years or 60,000 miles of complimentary roadside assistance. That coverage includes towing, flat tire assistance, jump-start service, lockout service, and fuel delivery. Whether you break down on I-82 or a remote Benton County road, Chevrolet has you covered.
Emissions Warranty
8 Years or 80,000 Miles
The Chevrolet warranty includes an emissions warranty covering key emission control components for 8 years or 80,000 miles. This coverage ensures your vehicle meets federal emissions standards throughout the entire coverage period.
Diesel Engine Coverage
5 Years or 100,000 Miles
Chevrolet provides extended powertrain coverage of 5 years or 100,000 miles specifically for diesel-powered vehicles. That is a significant benefit for Prosser and Yakima Valley farmers and contractors who rely on their diesel Chevrolet trucks every day.
Electric Vehicle Battery Coverage
8 Years or 100,000 Miles
If you purchase a new Chevrolet EV including the Equinox EV or Blazer EV, the high voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. That gives EV buyers in the Tri-Cities and Yakima Valley real long-term confidence in their investment.
