The Mitsubishi warranty coverage is among the best in the industry
Introduction
One thing that I have learned to pay attention to before I buy a car, is to check what kind of warranty is offered. In the time that you own your vehicle there are many things that could go wrong with it, and some can happen right after buying the car. A good warranty will mean that you will be covered in case something goes wrong with your car, and thus end up saving a lot of money in the future.
I remember being so excited after buying my last car, but at the same time having the mental debate as to whether to invest in better warranties offered at my local dealer. I ended up purchasing an additional Powertrain warranty for $1200 dollars and it ended up saving me money instantly. About a month after buying the car the transmission needed to be replaced and the cost was estimated at over $2,200. While I never assumed anything would happen to the car so soon after buying it, spending the few extra money on an extended warranty ended up saving me over $1,000 dollars in the first month of owning my beloved Jeep. So if you take anything away from this, take the following: Warranty matter!
I constantly find myself writing about Toyota models, which always leads to writing about how great Toyota’s warranty is, so why not check on Mitsubishi’s? What I found is that I might have to start tooting Mitsubishi’s warranty, as it really is among the best in the industry.
Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi’s new car warranty offers more years of coverage to car buyers than most of its competitors. It’s mileage and length of ownership limits are on par with the car industry's best warranty offers.
Mitsubishi's new car warranty includes the following benefits (Note: there are a few exceptions): a five-year/60,000-mile fully transferable New Vehicle Limited Warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, a seven-year/100,000-mile anti-corrosion/perforation Limited Warranty and five years/unlimited miles of Roadside Assistance.
Powertrain
The Powertrain warranty is set up to take care of all the moving parts of your vehicles engine and transmission. Parts such as the engine mounts, head gaskets, the torque converter, oil pump, water pump, and transmission are all covered under the Powertrain warranty. For complete coverage details check your vehicles owner's manual.
Roadside Assistance
One of the best aspects of the Mitsubishi warranty coverage is roadside assistance. Wherever you are in the United States, you will be covered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Some of the services included in the roadside assistance coverage include towing your car, emergency fuel assistance and fluid delivery.
How many times have you listened to your music too long and drained your battery? Or how about the time you left the reading light on all night and your car wouldn’t start? With roadside assistance you are covered for these situations. Simply call them and someone will come jump-start your battery right away.
There is also a flat-tire service for those covered with roadside assistance, as well as many more features.
Your roadside assistance coverage will begin when you purchase your vehicle and will be good for five years, regardless of how many miles you have on your Mitsubishi.
One cool feature of Mitsubishi’s roadside assistance coverage is that it also includes trip interruption as part of your coverage. Let’s say you have to tow your vehicle (Note: It has to be for a warrantable condition), if you are located over 150 miles away from home and the vehicle has to spend the night somewhere else, Mitsubishi's Roadside Assistance Plan will reimburse you for your documented expenses to include meals, lodging and transportation. You will be covered for up to $175 per day for a up to three days.
Additional Coverage
Mitsubishi takes their coverage even further by offering additional warranty coverage which includes the following: If you have a defective battery Mitsubishi will replace it for free during the first 24 months. So basically, if there is anything wrong with your battery in the first two YEARS of owning the car, you are covered. The cost of labor to test, remove and install the warranty replacement battery is covered under the warranty.
Conclusion
Mitsubishi proved that it offers quality outside of their vehicle making by offering one of the best warranties in the industry. Mitsubishi’s are very reliable and with a strong warranty such as theirs, I will keep them in mind on my next trip to the dealer.
