Do I Need a GMC Extended Warranty? How to Know

One big reason why the GMC brand is so popular is the top-shelf warranty that protects every GMC automobile. But did you know there’s also a GMC extended warranty that countless owners count on for the perfect amount of extra protection? Robertson’s GMC discusses whether it could be right for you.

What Is the Standard GMC Warranty?

The standard warranty for every new GMC for sale comprises a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Ancillary components include a three-year/36,000-mile corrosion protection warranty and a complimentary first maintenance visit.

What Is the GMC Extended Warranty?

The GMC Extended Warranty is split into three tiers. The first is Powertrain, which covers some of the vehicle’s most essential components, e.g., the engine and transmission, for up to eight years/120,000 miles. The second tier, Silver, includes all of the parts in the Powertrain tier, as well as several additional components such as the suspension and climate control system.

The top tier, Platinum, combines Powertrain and Silver and then covers a fresh range of parts and systems, such as those included in the vehicle’s infotainment and safety groups.

Why Would I Need a GMC Extended Warranty?

There are a few reasons why you might want to purchase a GMC Extended Warranty from a Wareham, MA GMC dealer. One is if you plan on driving your vehicle beyond its 36,000-mile and 60,000-mile milestones. Since this is where the limited warranty and powertrain warranty expire, the extended warranty would help offset potentially expensive repairs going forward.

Another reason is if you don’t mind paying a monthly fee for the peace of mind that comes with an extended warranty. This is often preferable to rolling the dice and possibly having to pay a hefty out-of-pocket sum for an issue that occurs after the standard warranty expires.

A third reason is if you put a lot of miles on your car every year, and/or you use your vehicle for hard work in rugged environments. In both scenarios, the vehicle’s parts would “age” faster than if you were just driving on the weekends, thus justifying an extended warranty.
