How much factory warranty is left on your Volt?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Chevrolet Volt factory warranty
New Chevrolet vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Chevrolet dealer.
The Volt is no longer sold new in the US, so most examples are close to or beyond the end of factory coverage.
Why body style matters
Hatchbacks are mechanically close to small sedans, with one driven axle and modest weight. That generally keeps coverage affordable, though small turbocharged engines are increasingly common.
Plug-in hybrid system
A plug-in hybrid has the parts of a gas car and of an electric car: engine, transmission, a larger battery, an onboard charger and a charge port. Ask specifically whether the onboard charger and high-voltage components are covered.
About Chevrolet
Chevrolet's range runs from small crossovers to heavy-duty trucks, so the right coverage depends heavily on how the vehicle is used. Trucks that tow and haul put more load on the transmission, transfer case and axles.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Chevrolet Volt eligible for extended coverage?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle's year and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Because the Volt is no longer sold new, older examples may qualify only for powertrain-level plans.
Which coverage level fits a Chevrolet Volt?
If the plug-in hybrid system and transmission are your main concern, a powertrain plan covers them. If you also want air conditioning, electrical parts and electronics covered, look at a mid-level or comprehensive plan.
How much does a Chevrolet Volt extended warranty cost?
Price depends on the model year, mileage, coverage level, deductible and your ZIP code. Request a quote with your details for an actual price.
