When you buy a new or used GM vehicle, choosing the right warranty coverage is one of the smartest decisions you can make. Factory warranties offer a great starting point, but many drivers want added peace of mind after that coverage ends — which is where a MasterTech™ warranty comes in. Wilkinson Chevrolet Buick GMC breaks down some of the GM warranty options.

What the Factory Warranty Covers (and What It Doesn’t)

Most new GM vehicles come with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. These factory warranties cover major components but only for a limited time. Once those terms expire, you’re responsible for repair costs unless you’ve added extended protection.

If you plan to keep your vehicle for more than a few years or put on a lot of miles, it’s worth considering additional coverage. A MasterTech™ warranty can help fill that gap by covering critical systems that are no longer protected by the original warranty.

How a MasterTech™ Warranty Extends Protection

A MasterTech™ warranty offers extended service coverage tailored to your needs. It can include protection for the engine, transmission, air conditioning, suspension, steering, electrical systems, and more, depending on the level of plan you select.

Unlike basic powertrain-only plans, MasterTech™ coverage is customizable and available for both new and pre-owned vehicles. Some plans also include added benefits like roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement, and travel interruption protection, making it a well-rounded option for everyday drivers.

This warranty can be financed along with your vehicle, and because it’s backed by trained technicians and approved repair facilities, it offers both flexibility and peace of mind long after the factory warranty expires.
