Autobahn Warranty FAQs
Six years, unlimited miles, parts and labor. Here is exactly how it works, what it covers, and what it does not.
The short version, before the detail
Every qualifying repair we carry out is covered for six years and unlimited miles on both parts and labor, and that coverage transfers to the next owner if you sell the car.
Batteries we supply and install carry their own four-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Everything below is the detail underneath those two sentences, in the order people usually ask about it.
A six-year, unlimited-mile limited warranty on parts and labor, covering qualifying repairs and the components we install. If a covered part fails through a defect, or through our workmanship, we make it right at no charge for both the part and the labor to fit it.
Six years from the date of each repair, with no mileage cap at all. Coverage runs per repair, dated from the day that work was completed, so a repair carried out this year is covered into the next decade no matter how much you drive.
Keep the vehicle on its maintenance schedule: service every 7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, and stay current on the maintenance that protects each repair. Service with us and it is logged automatically. If a service is done elsewhere, keep the receipt and send it to us so your history stays complete and your coverage stays in force.
Contact us first, and bring the vehicle to us before authorizing any outside repair, because unauthorized outside work is not covered. We confirm the concern before repairing so we treat the actual cause rather than a symptom. Your maintenance records are already on file with us, so the covered part and the labor are handled at no charge.
Yes. Batteries we supply and install carry a four-year, unlimited-mile warranty against defect and failure, provided the rest of the electrical system is sound. A battery drained by another component, such as a failing alternator or a parasitic draw from a faulty module, is not a battery defect and is not covered. We will diagnose it and show you the true cause either way.
Normal wear items such as brake pads, rotors, tires, wiper blades, filters and belts. Customer-supplied parts. Abuse, neglect or accident damage. Incorrect or contaminated fluids. Racing, track or off-road use. Aftermarket modifications and tuning. Environmental damage such as flood, fire or corrosion. Pre-existing conditions. And repairs or tampering by another shop on a covered component.
Yes, and it is worth real money at resale. Both the six-year repair warranty and the four-year battery warranty transfer to a subsequent private owner for the balance of the term. To activate the transfer, the new owner must bring the vehicle to us within 45 days of the sale date for an inspection and to be registered in our system. The service history carries over once they are registered.
It qualifies as long as the repair was performed here, involved new parts and proper installation, and coverage has been kept active through the maintenance requirements above. Keep your original repair invoice as proof. If you are unsure where a particular repair stands, call us and we will look it up.
Ask us before you need it.
If you want to know whether a specific repair on your car is covered, call and we will tell you plainly rather than leave you reading the small print.
