Shopping for a Cadillac Extended Warranty?

A Cadillac is a luxury vehicle that requires diligent care—and great vehicle coverage. No matter model, consider a Cadillac extended warranty that offers exceptional protection for the duration of your vehicle’s life, which will extend far beyond the factory warranty term.

The car insurance and warranty experts at CARCHEX can answer all your questions—what’s covered, how much warranty plans cost, and how to find the best plan for your budget, needs, and driving habits. Keep reading to learn more about the Cadillac extended warranty options, also called vehicle service contracts, for your vehicle.

Cadillac Warranty Coverage at a Glance

Before deciding on a Cadillac extended warranty, you should understand what’s covered under your factory warranty. Here’s what you get with a Cadillac manufacturer’s warranty:

• 4-year/50,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty—This warranty covers the cost to repair or replace any defects in materials or workmanship original to the car. Parts and labor are included, and the warranty is fully transferable to a second owner.
• 6-year/70,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty—This covers the cost to repair or replace any defects in materials or workmanship of the engine, transmission, and drive systems.
• 6-year/70,000-mile Roadside Assistance—This 24/7 service includes towing, lockout services, refueling, Dealer Technician Roadside services, and other perks.
• 6- year/70,000-mile Courtesy Transportation—Cadillac will provide another means of travel or reimbursement if your car breaks down due to a covered repair.
• Limited Parts Warranty—There are three different parts warranties that cover different Genuine Cadillac parts:
  • 24-Month/Unlimited-Mile Limited Parts Warranty
  • Limited Lifetime Parts Warranty
  • 12-Month/Unlimited Parts Warranty

Once these warranties expire, you’re on the hook for expensive repairs. Fortunately, third-party providers such as CARCHEX offer flexible Cadillac extended warranty coverage options that can protect you long after your factory warranty period ends.

Cadillac Extended Warranty Coverage

General Motors offers a Cadillac extended warranty for all new Cadillac vehicles at the time of purchase. This warranty acts as an extension of the Cadillac four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. It covers many of the same parts and does not include a deductible.

Cadillac extended warranty coverage can add an additional two years and 20,000 miles of protection (bringing your total warranty coverage to six years and 70,000 miles). While this contract cannot be canceled, it can be transferred to new owners.

Why Cadillac Owners Need an Extended Warranty

What do you do when your Cadillac factory warranty ends? An untimely repair expense can make a huge dent in your budget and leave you to choose between vehicle safety and finances.

It all comes down to vehicle reliability and repair costs—the two most important factors when considering additional protection with a Cadillac extended warranty.

Cadillac Vehicle Reliability

Cadillac’s reliability is fine, but it’s not outstanding. J.D. Power awarded Cadillac with one quality award in 2019. RepairPal ranks Cadillac a 3.5 out of 5.0, above average in terms of reliability. However, over the past several years, there have been recalls for multiple models.

Common Cadillac Repair Costs

Maintaining the prestige of your Cadillac can be costly. Cadillac happens to be among the most expensive brands to repair, costing owners more than $12,000 (on average) over 10 years of ownership.

Regular car maintenance is expected on all vehicles, but a breakdown is always an unwanted surprise. When deciding whether Cadillac extended warranty protection would be a smart investment to help you cover these expenses, consider these average costs of common Cadillac repairs:

• Cadillac DeVille water pump replacement costs between $329 and $506
• Cadillac Escalade EXT Suspension shock or strut assembly replacement costs between $2,193 and $2,214
• Cadillac DeVille power window regulator replacement costs about $1,860
• Cadillac Fleetwood fuel injector replacement costs between $1,583 and $1,851
• Cadillac Escalade wheel hub assembly replacement costs as much as $1,038

The average annual cost for Cadillac SRX car maintenance and minor repairs is $734. Unfortunately, many breakdowns are unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared with an extended auto warranty.

Who Should Provide Your Extended Cadillac Protection?

General Motors has Cadillac extended warranty plans, but you may benefit more from a service contract purchased through a third-party provider. You can still select factory-level coverage, but often for a lower price and with fewer restrictions.
