Brave the Holidays with a GM Warranty | Smith Motors
With the upcoming holiday season, there is plenty to look forward to. During these festive times, we often travel to see family members who live near and far away. Imagine securing your home, packing your vehicle, and hitting the road, only to have your car breakdown. This means the end of your holiday plans, right? Well, it doesn’t have to be! With a GM Warranty, your holiday plans (along with money) can be saved.
A GM Warranty Can Save You Thousands of Dollars
With holiday expenses like traveling and gift buying racking up, an unexpected repair can not only be inconvenient, but devastating as well. An engine repair could cost up to $6,000 dollars, and a transmission fix could run up to $5,800 dollars. Imagine paying for these expenses out of pocket. With a GM Warranty, you have the ability to service your vehicle quickly and conveniently at any GM dealership throughout the country and Canada. By possessing a warranty, you will only have to pay a small, affordable deductible in order to have your vehicle up and running again.
What benefits Come With a GMEPP Platinum Warranty Plan?

What Protection Does a GMEPP Silver Warranty Offer?
Those who still desire thorough coverage, yet do not need the additional benefits of a Platinum Plan, can choose a Silver GMEPP Warranty. A Silver Plan covers nine major areas within your vehicle, including damage incurred through “wear and tear.” By protecting your vehicle’s powertrain, the most expensive components in your vehicle are covered. Parts covered by the Silver Warranty include:
- Engine
- Front / Rear-wheel-drive assemblies
- Transmission / Transaxle
- Fuel system
- Front Suspension
- Steering system
- Vehicle manufacturer-installed air conditioning systems
- Braking system components
- Electrical and computer systems
By covering “wear and tear” and the main powertrain within your vehicle, you will have peace of mind knowing that any GM dealership will repair your vehicle if a covered incident occurs.
What Roadside Benefits are Available with Both Plans?
With a GM warranty, you are never alone on the road! 24/7 roadside assistance is available to help you anywhere in the US, by simply calling a toll-free number. Roadside services include:
- Flat tire change
- Towing
- Battery jump
- Locksmith/Key service (not available in Kansas)
- Out-of-gas fuel delivery
A GM Warranty also offers $40 dollars a day for rental services or public transportation if your vehicle is disabled, with up to $175 dollars per visit, if your vehicle is accepted for repairs covered by the warranty. The total limit can also be increased to $280 dollars per visit if the repair is delayed due to waiting for a part.
When Does my GM Warranty Begin?
Your GM warranty will begin from your current odometer mileage and from the date of your contract purchase. You will have options concerning the number of miles you want covered or the amount of time you would like to insure your vehicle for. Once the time is reached or the miles are met, your warranty will end.
How Much Will a GM Warranty Cost Me?
Warranties are divided into two price categories: new and used. A new vehicle is classified by having up to 12 months of service and up to 12,000 miles on the odometer. A used vehicle is classified by being in service for more than 12 months and having more than 12,000 miles on the odometer. Since prices vary due to vehicle make/model, age, and mileage, contact Smith Motors for a free GM warranty quote.
If Necessary, Can I Transfer My Warranty?
Absolutely. You can easily transfer your existing warranty to a new owner when selling your vehicle or you can cancel your warranty plan and receive a prorated refund.
