Chevrolet backs new vehicles with comprehensive coverage that protects your investment.

**Basic warranty** typically covers defects in materials and workmanship for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This includes most components except wear items like brakes and tires.

**Powertrain warranty** extends to 5 years or 60,000 miles and covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain-the costly stuff.

**What's not covered:** Routine maintenance (oil changes, filter replacements), wear items (brake pads, wiper blades, light bulbs), and damage from accidents, misuse, or modification.

**Your warranty documents** outline exact terms. Keeping up with scheduled maintenance at Castle Chevrolet of Villa Park's Service Department helps protect your coverage.

**Want specifics?** Call us at (630) 279-5200 or check your warranty paperwork. Our Service and Finance teams can walk you through what's covered and how to make a claim if needed.
