When you buy a new car at Paretti Mazda, it is backed with robust warranty coverage. Whether you’re a current owner or prospective buyer, knowing what’s covered and when is worthwhile. Fortunately, a knowledgeable Metairie Mazda dealer is qualified and prepared to answer any questions you have.

What Kind of Warranty Comes with a New MAZDA Car?

Multiple warranties cover your new Mazda car, but two deserve close attention. A three-year/36,000-mile New Car Limited Warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty protect any factory-installed parts of your vehicle against defects in material and manufacture. One covers the powertrain and related components, while the other covers everything not addressed by separate and specialized warranties.

When Can I Use My MAZDA Warranty?

“Limited” is doing some heavy lifting in both warranties’ cases. While they’ll cover defects and repairs if something fails through no fault of your own, there are specific circumstances a warranty will not address.

  • Misuse of the vehicle
  • Exceeding the tow rating or towing with a vehicle that isn’t tow-rated
  • Repairs stemming from the use of non-OEM parts
  • Failure to maintain the vehicle
  • Routine maintenance

Do Pre-Owned Cars Get Warranty Coverage?

In some cases, yes. The warranties we have mentioned are transferable. If you sell your vehicle while it is still under warranty, the remaining coverage is transferred to the new owner.

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned cars can also come with additional coverage that you won’t find on the typical used car. You get a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty when you buy one of these Mazda models; your Mazda dealer will disclose the program’s terms and conditions.
