## Understanding GMC Warranty Coverage

New GMC vehicles come with comprehensive coverage designed to give you confidence in your purchase:

**Basic (Bumper-to-Bumper) Warranty**  
Covers most components and systems for a set period and mileage.

**Powertrain Warranty**  
Protects the engine, transmission, transfer case, and drivetrain for a longer term and higher mileage.

**Other Protections**  
Rust perforation, roadside assistance, and other benefits vary by model and year.

## What's Not Covered

Routine maintenance (oil changes, filters, wiper blades) and wear items (brakes, tires) are typically your responsibility. Damage from accidents, misuse, or lack of maintenance isn't covered.

## Your Best Resource

Your warranty document outlines all terms, limits, and exclusions. Our Finance and Service teams at Bareford GMC can explain your coverage in detail and help you understand what's included. Call **(804) 445-2810** with questions, or ask when you pick up your vehicle. We want you fully confident in your protection.
