After the limited manufacturer warranty on your Chevy runs out, what happens if your vehicle needs an unexpected repair at your Chevy dealer? To reduce the cost of repairs and routine maintenance, many drivers turn to an extended warranty. A longer warranty period on your Chevrolet can protect your budget and keep your vehicle roadworthy.

The additional warranty coverage from Chevy is called the Chevrolet Protection Plan. This plan offers flexible terms and allows drivers to select a deductible that best suits their budget. In general, the Chevrolet Protection Plan can cover up to 1,500 vehicle components based on which tier level you select.

Powertrain

The Powertrain plan offers the most basic level of coverage for essential vehicle components. Specifically, this plan will cover your engine, transmission, and drive axles. If you drive a hybrid or electric vehicle, the electric motor will also be covered under this plan.

Silver

The Silver plan builds on the coverage offered by the Powertrain plan. In addition to everything covered by the first tier, the Silver plan also covers the front suspension, rear suspension, steering system, electrical system, brakes, and climate control. 

Platinum

The Platinum plan is the most comprehensive, with terms lasting for as long as eight years or up to 100,000 miles. Along with all the components covered by the Silver plan, the Platinum plan will also cover your vehicle’s audio system, navigation system, and high-tech components. 

Can You Sign Up for Other Plans At Your Chevy Dealer?

You can sign up for several other Chevrolet Protection Plans to customize your preferred level of vehicle protection. Many drivers mix and match protection plan programs for well-rounded protection. The other available plans are EV Protection, EV Pre-Paid Maintenance, GAP Coverage, Pre-Paid Maintenance, Tire & Wheel Protection, Advanced Protection, and XS Wear Lease Protection. 

The Tire & Wheel Protection plan can help with repairs for damage caused by covered road hazards. This plan is a good addition since other protection plans do not cover wheels and tires at all. If you drive an EV, getting a protection plan focused on electric vehicles is a good idea, since the repair needs of an EV are unique. The Advanced Protection and XS Wear Protection Plans are ideal to cover wear and tear damage. 

Are There Other Perks?

Chevrolet drivers can enjoy generous perks with their protection plans. The benefits built into your protection plan are roadside assistance, trip interruption coverage, and rental car coverage. Additionally, these protection plans are transferable to another private party within one month of vehicle resale.

Extending the coverage of your warranty period with a Chevrolet Protection Plan can give you peace of mind and significantly reduce the cost of vehicle repairs. To learn more about protection plans, get in touch with Hansen Motor Co today.
