Car Warranty Options from Your Kia Dealer in El Paso
There are various warranty options available with new, certified preowned and used vehicles available from your Kia dealer in El Paso. It is important to understand the differences in warranty programs, and what exactly is covered, in order to ensure you are obtaining the desired vehicle protection. Take the time to sit down with your Kia car dealer and review the warranty protection programs to determine the length of coverage and what systems are covered. Make sure to ask questions if you are not entirely sure whether a particular part or system is covered and whether you are responsible for any labor costs.

  • New Car Warranty Programs: All new Kia vehicles include a limited 10-year or 100,000 mile warranty on select mechanical systems. New car warranties cover a wide range of parts and equipment to protect your investment, whether you purchase the new Kia or lease it.
  • Used Car Warranty Programs: Certified preowned Kia vehicles normally include the remainder of the original factory warranty program. The original warranty is able to be transferred from the original owner to the new owner. The length of time left on the original warranty depends upon the model year or mileage on the vehicle. For other used car brands, there might be some time left on the original warranty. In cases where the original factory warranty has expired, the dealership sometimes provides a 3-month or specific mileage limited warranty.
  • Extended Warranty Programs: Extended warranties are a good investment to provide continued coverage after the original new car warranty has expired. They are available as an option on new, certified preowned, and used vehicles. The extended protection typically covers the same systems and components as the original warranty, up to a specific period of time, based upon the length of coverage purchased. It is highly recommended to purchase extended warranty protection for the length of your loan if you finance the vehicle and know the original warranty will run out before the car is paid off. Extended warranty programs may be included in the original car financing or purchased separately later.

It is important to note that normal wear-and-tear parts are not part of any warranty program. Items such as brake pads, wiper blades, oil filters, air filters, and tires are not typically covered. If you want to include non-warranty covered items, one viable option is to ask your El Paso Kia dealership about general automotive and preventative car maintenance prepaid programs. These programs are not warranty protection, but do allow you to ensure that oil changes, tire rotations, and other such preventive maintenance services are covered ahead of time. Just like extended warranty programs, car maintenance programs are available for varying lengths of time.
