Wear-and-tear items-like brake pads, wiper blades, air filters, and batteries-are typically considered maintenance consumables and aren't covered by factory warranty. These parts wear out naturally with use and are your responsibility to replace.

However, if a component fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect (not normal wear), warranty may cover it. For example, if a battery dies far before its expected lifespan due to a defect, that's different from normal aging.

Our service team can help you understand which items are maintenance and which might be warranty-covered. Regular maintenance keeps your vehicle running reliably. Call (779) 600-2956 to discuss your specific situation or schedule maintenance.
