Do warranties from the dealership cover tires?
The basic warranty of the vehicle does not cover brand-new tires. Instead, the tire manufacturer provides the guarantee, which is described in a booklet that should be in your new car’s glove box. The tire warranty covers manufacturing flaws or early tire wear. In case you need to file a warranty claim and are required to show that the tires were properly maintained, make sure to keep the tires adequately inflated and keep track of any tire rotation receipts you may have.
Warranty coverage can change
Benefits that are part of warranties may also change. An carmaker may provide a longer warranty or other special coverage, such as maintenance free, in an effort to increase sales. The coverage may be reduced if the automaker’s research reveals that a certain advantage isn’t luring customers to showrooms. For instance, Volvo provided five years of free maintenance in 2010. That has now been reduced to three years. Prior to the 2016 model year, GMC and Chevrolet vehicles were covered by a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The powertrain warranty is currently only valid for 60,000 kilometers. However, warranty modifications are not retroactive. If you require warranty-covered repairs or services, the coverage that was in effect for the model year of your car will be used.
Range of coverage
Volkswagen offers a six-year, 72,000-mile basic warranty as of the 2018 model year. This coverage, which is the longest-lasting among all brands, practically doubled the guarantee from the previous model years. Currently, the shortest standard warranty is three years or 36,000 miles, and it can be found on cars from manufacturers including Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Toyota. Manufacturers including Acura, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz, and Mini offer standard warranties that are four years or 50,000 miles long. Several automakers, including Genesis, Hyundai, Jaguar, and Kia, provide basic coverage for five years or 60,000 miles.
Roadside assistance
Almost all new-car warranties include roadside assistance, which is usually just as long as the standard warranty in duration. However, Toyota’s roadside assistance only lasts two years, despite the fact that the guarantee is for three years.
Extra coverage for EV and hybrid batteries
Electric or hybrid automobiles cannot function without their batteries, which are therefore quite expensive to replace. For instance, a Nissan Leaf battery costs $5,000. The good news is that federal emissions standards require EV and hybrid batteries to be warrantied for at least eight years or 100,000 miles even though battery components are not covered by the basic warranty. All succeeding owners are entitled to a complete transfer of this coverage.
‘Goodwill’ repair
Imagine that your vehicle’s pricey part fails, and your warranty has just run out. Usually, you’d have to make a payment. However, if the service manager at the dealership agrees, you can obtain a one-time exemption. The local dealership service staff has sole discretion over this act of goodwill. However, your chances of getting the maintenance done there will rise if you ask politely and have a history of doing so.
EDMUNDS SAYS: New-car warranties can vary from year to year and frequently depend on the brand. If warranties play a significant role in your decision to purchase a car, learn about the current warranty coverage.
The Package: 35/45k+
How Much Should The Entire Service Cost? Two oil changes at $100 each plus a replacement spark plug at $125 equals $325.
The 20/30/40/50k plan is the only one of the Audi Care plans that will even come close to being a fair deal if you decide to purchase one.
Even if any ASE-certified technician can perform the service for you, you will lose a little bit on the balance. However, if you value having a dealership perform the service, it can be worthwhile for you.
My advice is to always weigh your options when entering into a service agreement like this. It’s not as difficult to do things yourself as you would imagine, even for fundamentals like changing the oil.
Find an ASE-certified mechanic and ask for an estimate on the cost of the services listed in the Audi Care if you need to get your Audi serviced. You might be amazed at how much money you can save by having a mechanic work on it.
Why does an Audi warranty expire?
You can technically customize your vehicle. You can do whatever you want to it because you own it, but doing so could void your warranty. However, a federal law in the United States known as the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act expressly prevents producers from pressuring their customers to use their brand-name goods or a certain service. As stated in the act:
The use of any product-related item or service (except than those freebies given in accordance with the guarantee’s terms) that is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name is not a condition of any consumer product warrantor’s explicit or implied warranty.
In essence, the Act guarantees that customers won’t lose their warranty if they don’t take their cars to reputable dealers and shops for repairs and maintenance. Therefore, if you own an Audi, the Magnuson Moss Guarantee Act permits you to look for reasonably priced parts from other dealers without jeopardizing your Audi warranty.
But what if you want to tune your car rather than just fix or maintain it? The Federal Trade Commission takes the following stance on the matter:
The manufacturer or dealer has the right to refuse coverage for an aftermarket or recycled part and to charge you for any necessary repairs if it turns out that the aftermarket or recycled part was in fact flawed or improperly installed and it damaged another item that is covered by the warranty.
Therefore, if performance tuning your car results in an upgrade that breaks down a stock part, your dealer may void the warranty on that part. Audi cannot refuse to fix your car or breach your warranty, for instance, if you tune your engine and the next day your sound system stops operating.
