Lifetime Powertrain Warranty

The start of worry-free ownership begins at Chico Volkswagen.


Here at Chico Volkswagen - our value goes beyond the sale. We want you as a friend and a customer for life. Whether you're from Redding, Oroville, or local here in Chico. We want to provide a worry-free ownership experience by including our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty on all our new vehicles, as well as select used vehicles. At no additional cost.


Forever ever? Forever ever.

Our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty will cover your vehicle as long as you own it, for an unlimited time and unlimited miles.


Do I have to pay extra for it?

Absolutely not. We value our customers and want to have a happy relationship for life. Worry-free ownership + convenience is what we will bring to the table. At no additional cost.


What's the catch?

All you need to do is follow the Manufacturer’s Recommended Maintenance outlined in your vehicle's owner's manual & maintain records of routine Vehicle maintenance performed by you or others. You can take you vehicle anywhere for repairs. But, if you choose to get any work done through us - you won’t pay a deductible and we’d have all records on hand, further adding convenience. The total dollar benefits paid under this Warranty are limited to the Vehicle Purchase Price. The total dollar benefit paid for any given Covered Repair is limited to the average trade-in value of the Vehicle (excluding tax, title and license fees) immediately prior to the Mechanical Breakdown based on the then most recent National Automobile Dealer Associate Used Car Guide (or a comparable guide, if that guide has been discontinued). This Warranty may not be transferred or assigned.
