GMC Warranty Frequently Asked Questions
When you invest in a truck or SUV built to work as hard as you do, you want to know what stands behind it. One of the most common questions from new and pre-owned buyers is simple: how long is the GMC factory warranty, and how does Certified Pre-Owned coverage stack on top? Our team at Lester Glenn GMC fields these questions every day, and here is a straightforward breakdown.
How Long Is the GMC Factory Warranty on a New Vehicle?
Every new GMC truck and SUV is backed by two main limited warranties from the factory. That includes a 3-year or 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty plus a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty, whichever comes first.
The bumper-to-bumper coverage handles defects in materials and workmanship across most systems, from climate control to electrical components. The powertrain warranty protects the engine, transmission, and drive systems, the hardware doing the heavy lifting on your job site or weekend haul.
What Else Is Included with New GMC Coverage?
New GMC ownership comes with more than just the two main warranties. Standard coverage also includes:
- Courtesy transportation during qualifying warranty repairs
- 24-hour Roadside Assistance
- The first scheduled maintenance visit
- A 6-year or 100,000-mile rust-through limited warranty
What Does the GMC Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?
Every Certified Pre-Owned GMC must be no more than six model years old, carry fewer than 75,000 miles, and pass a 172-point inspection before earning the CPO badge. Once certified, the vehicle gets two factory-backed warranties layered onto any remaining new-vehicle coverage.
CPO buyers receive a 12-month or 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and a 6-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty measured from the original in-service date. Both carry a $0 deductible and are usually fully transferable, protecting resale value down the road.
Are There Other CPO Benefits?
Yes. CPO buyers also get two included maintenance visits within two years or 24,000 miles, 24-hour roadside assistance for the powertrain warranty period, and a limited trial of OnStar® and SiriusXM services on eligible vehicles.
