| QUICK ANSWER
A comprehensive transmission warranty covers internal components AND the labor to repair them. The fine print to check: parts-only vs. parts-and-labor, maintenance requirements, severe-use exclusions, towing coverage during a claim, and transferability. Get every term in writing before work begins verbal warranties don’t survive disputes. Why us: We put warranty terms in writing with the estimate, before you approve anything. |
Covered vs. not covered — the typical pattern
- Usually covered: internal hard parts, clutches, torque converter, valve body, labor on covered failures
- Usually excluded: external causes (impact, flood), fluid-loss damage from road hazards, unrelated systems (mounts, axles, electronics outside the unit)
- Conditional: severe use (towing/commercial), covered when disclosed and built for, excluded when discovered later
Five questions to ask before signing
- Is labor covered, or parts only?
- What maintenance is required, and where can it be done?
- Is towing covered if a warranty failure strands me?
- Is the warranty transferable if I sell?
- Is coverage local or nationwide?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a ‘lifetime warranty’ better than 3yr/100k?
Read the terms, many ‘lifetime’ warranties are parts-only, loaded with maintenance traps, or limited to the original owner. A clean, comprehensive 3yr/100k often delivers more real protection than a hedged ‘lifetime.’
Does a warranty cover the rental car while mine is in the shop?
Almost never, and we do not offer loaner vehicles or any type of rental car reimbursement. Ask up front, it’s a fair question and a shop should answer it plainly.
