GM has announced that the entire 2016 Chevrolet and GMC lineup in the United States will have its warranty reduced from 100,000 miles (just over 160,000 km) to 60,000 miles (96,561 km). The five-year period, however, was maintained. In addition, the number of free services has been reduced from four to two - including for Buick customers.
"Through research, we found that when buying a new vehicle, maintenance and warranty are at the bottom of the list of reasons for consumers to choose a brand," said a statement distributed across the network. of dealerships, signed by Chevrolet Vice President Brian Sweeney and GMC Vice President Duncan Aldred."As a result, we decided to match our competitors, reviewing the current offer and aligning ourselves with the needs and expectations of our customers."
Other brands like Ford, Honda and Toyota also offer a five-year or 60,000-mile warranty on the powertrain. GM plans to reinvest the amount saved from the warranty reduction into other retail programs.
