What is a Car Warranty?

Choosing a Cadillac extended warranty is one of the last decisions customers make when they go through the car buying process. A warranty through Zeigler Cadillac of Lincolnwood establishes a partnership between you and our expert team of Cadillac dealers. This warranty contract means Cadillac stands behind its superior engineering and craftsmanship to produce vehicles our customers can depend on.

Don’t complete your new car research without an understanding of car warranties and how warranties can be redeemed. Knowing the ins and outs of warranties can help you save money and thoroughly maintain your premium vehicle.

Car Warranty Basics

A car warranty is a repair agreement between the vehicle manufacturer and the buyer. What is covered by these agreements can vary, but contracts often rely on the age and mileage of the Cadillac vehicle to be serviced.

These contracts mean a manufacturer is confident the parts and operations of a late-model vehicle should last for a specified duration of time or mileage endured. If something does break within these sets of ranges, the manufacturer considers it a serious enough indiscretion that they will cover the cost of repairs.

Several Cadillac warranties offer low financial risk to new buyers. New Cadillac vehicles benefit from a four-year, 50,000-mile limited bumper-to-bumper warranty. In addition, Cadillac offers a six-year, 70,000-mile warranty for powertrain repairs for defects to transmission, engine or other drive systems. More warranties are available for parts and extended warranties.

How to Use a Warranty

Save yourself from out-of-pocket costs by redeeming your warranty when it’s time for repairs. If a component has malfunctioned prematurely, the manufacturer will cover the cost. Warranties cannot be used in the event of an accident or for normal wear and tear.

The team at our Cadillac dealership in Lincolnwood, IL can help drivers redeem their warranty. Make sure you have reviewed the current mileage and model year of your vehicle, as well as the terms of your warranty as described in the owner’s manual.
