Every new car you buy comes with a warranty, which protects you in case of a problem with the parts or the workmanship. But not all warranties are created equal, and every manufacturer has a different policy. Today, we’ll have a look at the new car warranty you can expect to receive when you come to the Kia dealer.
What Can You Expect from Your Kia Dealer’s Car Warranty?
When you shop at the brand-name dealership, you always get the manufacturer’s warranty on new Kia vehicles. This is considered one of the best in the industry because your car’s parts are covered for 5-10 years. Some other manufacturers only offer a three-year warranty. What’s more, Kia also provides drivers with roadside assistance and reimbursement for trip interruptions related to components that are covered under the warranty.
10 Years of Coverage
Compared to other cars, the warranty you get on your Kia is outstanding. Your powertrain, which includes the engine, the axles, the transmission, the driveshaft, and the differential, is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.
For the first five years or 60,000 miles, you also get a basic limited warranty on the other components, and you’re on the Kia roadside assistance plan. For five years or 50,000 miles, you benefit from limited anti-perforation warranty, which covers you if your body sheet metal gets perforated due to corrosion.
Roadside Assistance
Everyone who buys a new car benefits from emergency roadside assistance. If you have a problem on the road, you can call one of the 17,000 trusted roadside assistance providers, who are able to help you around the clock. Minor issues such as a flat tire or a dead battery can be fixed at no charge, so you can ride your Kia with confidence.
Reimbursement for Trip Interruption
If something that is covered under your warranty breaks while you’re more than 150 miles away from home, you can get reimbursed for your expenses. The warranty covers various costs, such as your overnight stay, food-related expenses, and a rental car.
Should I Buy Extended Warranty?
At some point, even the best warranty runs out. So, is it worth getting extended coverage after the initial time period is up? In many cases, the answer is yes. Extended warranty could help you plan your expenses better, so you’re not stuck with an unexpected bill. This can make it easier for you to keep your Kia for longer, and it can facilitate budgeting. If you’re risk-averse and you’d like peace of mind, buying an extended warranty could be a great idea.
Kia cars come with a great warranty, which covers the parts for 5-10 years. What’s more, you gain access to emergency roadside assistance, and you’ll be reimbursed if you run into issues far away from your home. To find out more about the specific limited warranty that comes with your favorite Kia, you should reach out to the dealer.
