More than a Promise: Exploring the Comprehensive Subaru Warranty Coverage
When you purchase a Subaru, you’re investing in more than just a vehicle; you’re securing peace of mind for the road ahead. Subaru’s comprehensive warranty programs are designed to offer robust protection, ensuring that you can drive with confidence.
Understanding Subaru’s Warranty Coverage
What is included in Subaru’s warranty coverage?
Subaru’s factory warranty is a testament to its commitment to quality and reliability. This warranty covers essential components and services for 5 years or 150,000 km, whichever comes first. It includes coverage for the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and major mechanical and electrical systems. This extensive coverage ensures that any manufacturing defects are addressed without additional costs to you, providing peace of mind from the moment you drive off the lot.
Aftermarket Extended Warranty Plans
For those looking for additional protection, extended warranty plans are available through F&I at all of our dealerships. These are third-party warranties that extend coverage beyond the standard warranty period. These plans provide further protection for critical components, ensuring that your Subaru remains in excellent condition for longer. Extended warranty options include various levels of coverage, allowing you to choose the plan that best suits your needs.
Just an important note: The extended warranty is only activated once the original warranty has expired and will only apply to pre-owned vehicles.
Unpacking Subaru’s Warranty Coverage
Subaru’s warranty coverage includes a wide range of components to keep your vehicle running smoothly. This comprehensive coverage addresses potential issues with the engine, transmission, electrical systems, and more. The warranty also includes Subaru’s EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology, adding an extra layer of safety to your driving experience.
While Subaru’s warranty offers extensive coverage, it’s important to understand the limitations and exclusions. Routine maintenance costs, wear-and-tear items, and damage resulting from neglect or unauthorised modifications are not covered. Additionally, actions that deviate from Subaru’s recommended maintenance schedule or the use of non-genuine parts may void the warranty.
When it comes to Subaru’s original warranty and extended warranties, there are a few differentiating factors that are important to note. The main difference is that the Subaru warranty comes with every new car and can be transferred to a new owner, as long as it hasn’t expired. Extended warranties are offered by a third party but have different products that will fit the customer’s budget and offer warranties for expensive repairs.
