Warranty coverage is critically important for anyone interested in purchasing a new car. Although the manufacturer may implement many steps to boost quality assurance, problems may arise. Defective parts or other issues might require repairs, leaving a customer annoyed. To address such concerns, the manufacturer will typically offer warranty coverage. Customers should note the difference between powertrain warranties and bumper-to-bumper ones.

The powertrain warranty covers the engine and components that power the engine, such as the transmission, drive axle, and more. An example of a powertrain warranty duration could be seven years or 100,000 miles.

Bumper-to-bumper warranties cover scores of parts outside of those that comprise the powertrain. Everything from the windshield to the audio system might be part of a bumper-to-bumper warranty. Buyers should check the specifics of the warranty to see what falls under the coverage provisions. Also, it is essential to note that bumper-to-bumper warranties are typically shorter than powertrain coverage durations. Check out our inventory today at Lewis Motor Sales Inc in Lafayette, IN.
