Cadillac Warranty Options

New Cadillacs come with several General Motors-backed warranties, including 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage, 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain coverage, rust and corrosion protection, roadside assistance, and courtesy transportation. For older and pre-owned Cadillacs with expired factory warranties, an extended warranty or Endurance vehicle service contract can help offset future repair and labor costs.
