If you’ve just bought a new GMC, congratulations! You’ve made a great decision, and we know you’re going to enjoy your new GMC for years. One of the most important things you can do as a new GMC owner is to understand what protection comes with it. The GMC Manufacturer's Warranty protects you from the moment you drive off the lot in Mansfield, Massachusetts, but many buyers still have questions about what it covers, how long it lasts, and what to do when something goes wrong. Here’s a look at the answers to the most common questions about the GMC Manufacturer's Warranty. What Does the GMC Manufacturer's Warranty Cover? The GMC Manufacturer's Warranty is a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship on most components of your new vehicle. This includes the engine, transmission, electrical systems, and much of what makes your GMC run the way it should. It is worth knowing that wear items, such as brake pads, wiper blades, and tires, are generally not included. Those are considered normal maintenance items rather than manufacturing defects. How Long Does the GMC Warranty Last? The standard GMC Manufacturer's Warranty includes a 3-year or 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, whichever comes first. In addition, GMC provides a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, which covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components. Is the GMC Warranty Transferable? Yes, any new vehicle limited warranty that is active at the time of the sale will transfer to the new owner. If you are buying a certified used GMC, it may come with its own separate limited warranty coverage, which is worth asking about when you visit. What Is Not Covered Under the GMC Manufacturer's Warranty? While the GMC Warranty covers a wide range of components, there are some exclusions to be aware of. Damage caused by accidents, misuse, or failure to follow recommended maintenance schedules is generally not covered. Aftermarket modifications can also affect your warranty coverage, so it is smart to check before making any changes to your vehicle. Regular upkeep, such as oil changes and tire rotations, will not only keep your GMC running well but also help ensure your warranty remains valid. How Do I Use My GMC Warranty? Getting a repair under your GMC limited warranty is easy. If you experience an issue that you believe is covered, simply bring your vehicle to an authorized GMC dealer. A Certified Service technician will inspect the vehicle and determine whether the repair falls under warranty coverage. Keep records of your maintenance visits, as these can be helpful if any questions arise during a warranty claim. GMC Certified Service technicians are factory-trained and use genuine GMC parts, so you can feel confident that any warranty repairs are done right.
