BUICK FACTORY WARRANTY INFORMATION:

Whenever you buy or even lease a new Buick, you get access to what Buick calls their “Buick Protection Program.” What this coverage does is fully back your vehicle with Buick’s “Zero Deductible New Vehicle Limited Warranty.”

BUICK NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY

Buick 4-year/50,000-mile† Bumper-to-Bumper

Buick 6-year/70,000-mile† Powertrain Limited Warranty with no deductible

Buick 6-year/70,000-mile† 24/7 Roadside Assistance

Buick 6-year/70,000-mile† Courtesy Transportation

Buick 8-year/100,000-mile† eAssist Coverage

First Two Maintenance Visits Are Complimentary

Powertrain coverage 6 years/70,000 miles

Note that Buick does not provide powertrain warranty coverage to used or certified pre-owned Buick vehicles. Only new Buick owners qualify for this coverage and it must be the original owner. These powertrain warranty parts include the most vital components to keep your car, truck, or SUV running.

That includes the following parts:

• Engine
• Transmission/Transaxle
• Transfer Case
• Drive Systems

Buick, and their parent company GM, consider their warranty as a quality assurance rather than protection from breakdown costs. They have a brand reputation to maintain and want to make sure that every new Buick delivers what Buick promises. That’s why it’s still important to look into more options for extending your warranty once your coverage from Buick and GM expires.

How Limited is a New Buick Warranty?

You bought that Buick because it is one of the best-reviewed luxury vehicles in America. Those reviews stem from the reliability and a unique design that improves with each year. That means the longer you hold onto a Buick, the price to repair it will only go up.

Buick’s aren’t like other GM-made vehicles, they’re a lot closer to European and Asian-made luxury cars. That’s why Buick owners are more likely to pay for expensive repairs. This is especially true after the 6-years or 70,000-miles factory warranty ends.

Because Buick is are an American brand, most repair facilities nation-wide should have or at least easy access to Buick parts and components. However, these parts will usually be priced like premium or luxury products. After all, the Buick name comes at a cost.

the factory warranty expires. Not only is driving without protection an unnecessary risk, but Buick drivers will also be facing higher repair costs that most American-made vehicles should they drive without coverage.

That’s why every Buick owner should strongly consider supplementing the assurance that comes from Buick’s factory coverage with extended vehicle protection from a reputable third-party provider.

How Much Does a Buick Extended Auto Warranty Cost?

In recent years, the Buick Envision managed to become one of the top 5 best-selling new vehicles in America (hottest selling vehicles in America). It was initially developed for the Chinese market for its exceptional gas mileage and reliability as well as efficient emissions output.

This is why it became available for sale in the US market. Unfortunately, plans to continue the sale of the Chinese-manufactured vehicle in the US are still up in the air, even after high sales were reported. This does not affect this car’s life, but that does mean that support and comprehensive coverage for it in the future is less and less likely to be available with each passing year.

If you follow Consumer Reports, the most common Buick repairs tend to occur after the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. Consumer Reports also notes the high price for repairs since GM builds Buicks to use exclusively compatible parts.

It is common among drivers and even auto industry experts to refer to a mechanical or electrical breakdown as “the unexpected.” And while Buick might just be one of the most confident automakers in the world, unfortunately every car – including Buicks, can and will break down over time.

Most Common Repairs on Popular Buick Vehicles:

–              Roadmaster (Water Pump Replacement)

–              Terraza (Alternator Replacement)

–              Verano (Head Gasket Replacement)

If you look at the repairs listed above, they may not seem like that big of an issue. But trust us, they are a big deal. Beyond being vital components of a car that needs to drive, these repairs can cost hundreds of dollars or more, depending on the severity of your repair.

In the following example, we will use a Buick Verano, since it is one of Buick’s most consistent-selling cars according to USA Today:

Repair Costs for Most Volkswagen Common Repairs (Buick Verano):

Water Pump Replacement	from $511 to $918
Head Gasket Replacement	from $709 to $1343
Oil Pump Replacement	from $834 to $1401
Alternator Replacement	from $351 to $500
Door Window Motor Replacement	from $186 to $235
Starter Replacement	from $235 to $455

This also means that the price of repairs and even general maintenance will continue to rise with every mile driven.

Once the Buick warranty expires, the burden falls on the driver to pay out of pocket for major repairs.

cost for these repairs can begin in the hundreds and potentially increase upwards of thousands of dollars. That’s the kind of expense that no Buick owner would reasonably expect. And yet the unthinkable happens, no Buick driver should be left vulnerable to the high cost of repair bills. That is why they should consider vehicle protection.

Shopping for Buick Extended Car Warranties

Buick drivers like luxury but prefer it with an American-made twist. A Buick driver isn’t like other drivers, and that is why there should be a Buick protection plan that goes beyond the scope of a GM vehicle warranty to suit a Buick’s driver’s unique driving habits and coverage needs.

Third-Party companies, like Endurance, focus solely on vehicle protection. That is why they are not limited the way the industry limits automakers. There are available options for both new and used vehicle owners from third-party companies can go further and be fully customizable compared to automakers like GM.

A Buick vehicle protection plan would not only cover the same repairs that Buick and GM’s manufacturer’s warranty are designed for, but they can also cover more depending on what your Buick car, SUV, or Crossover qualifies.

Endurance makes it their business to protect Buick drivers from both the high cost of repairs and eventual vehicle breakdowns. Endurance also strives to exist as an option for when the terms of a factory warranty seem inflexible or are just plain unavailable for drivers.

Extended Buick Warranty or Direct Coverage from Endurance?

General Motors is one of the largest automotive companies in the world, and as such, they have tremendous resources when it comes to ensuring that Buick lives up to its name. And that is the big reason why Buick warranties are primarily focused on ensuring confidence in their cars, and not protecting vehicles from breakdowns.

Buick and GM would prefer you purchase a new Buick rather than continue to drive the one you already purchased past the manufacturer’s warranty has expired. And that is why Endurance works to provide coverage options to only add to that confidence for the road ahead.

*A Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) is often referred to as an “extended auto warranty”, but is not a warranty.  A VSC does, however, provide repair coverage for your vehicle after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. A VSC is a contract between you and an administrator that states what’s a covered repair and what’s not. Endurance is an administrator of VSCs and does not sell warranties.*
