A new-vehicle warranty is your safety net-it covers factory defects and gives you peace of mind.

**What's Typically Covered**
Basic coverage (usually 3 years / 36,000 miles) protects the powertrain, electrical systems, and factory-installed components against defects. Powertrain coverage (often 5 years / 60,000 miles or longer) specifically covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Some components, like wear items (brakes, wiper blades, batteries), have shorter coverage or limited terms.

**What Voids Warranty**
Missing scheduled maintenance, using non-OEM parts, or ignoring recalls can void coverage. Keeping up with service at Bob Allen Motor Mall or an authorized dealership protects your warranty.

**Your Exact Terms**
Each brand and model has its own warranty structure. Your owner's documentation spells it out, and our Finance team can review your coverage in detail when you purchase.
