What is the Mercedes-Benz Warranty?

Mercedes-Benz Warranty

One of the perks of purchasing a new Mercedes-Benz is reaping the benefits of the Mercedes-Benz warranty. When you purchase a new Mercedes-Benz, it’s protected by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Warranty. This warranty covers material and craftsmanship defects for 48 months or 50,000 miles. If you want additional coverage, you can opt for the extended warranty later down the road. You can also enjoy comprehensive coverage if you choose a pre-owned model. Read on to learn more about your Mercedes-Benz warranty options and what you can expect from a new or pre-owned car.

Mercedes-Benz Warranty on New Vehicles

Let’s say you’re driving through St. Louis in your new Mercedes-Benz. You’re driving on Interstate 64 near the STL Zoo, and someone side-swipes your vehicle on the interstate. You get the body damage repaired, but a month later, one of the parts on the engine falls into disrepair, and your car won’t start. The Mercedes-Benz warranty on new vehicles protects you from most types of damage and repair issues. Again, the Mercedes-Benz factory warranty covers material and craftsmanship defects for 48 months or 50,000 miles — whichever comes first. This new Mercedes-Benz warranty coverage spans many areas, including powertrain, corrosion perforation, and roadside assistance. Here’s a list of what’s not covered under the Mercedes-Benz warranty:

• Brake pads
• Wheel alignment and balancing
• Wiper blades and inserts
• Batteries for remote controls (including the keyless EASY ENTRY® system)
• Glass

It’s worth noting that the Mercedes-Benz warranty may not cover everything that can potentially go wrong in your new vehicle. One of the best examples of incidents that aren’t covered are high water damage after torrential downpours. These expenses need to be paid out of pocket.

Mercedes-Benz Warranty Coverage in St. Louis

After the initial Mercedes-Benz warranty on new vehicles tapers off, the Mercedes-Benz extended warranty will kick in. This coverage option gives drivers one, two, or three years of added protection — up to 100,000 miles, depending on what’s most sensible for them. In addition to extended Mercedes-Benz warranty coverage, this warranty includes several benefits for the driver, such as:

• Help keep the market value
• Transferable if the owner sells the car
• 100% refundable if canceled before the expiration of the New Vehicle Warranty
• Service by Mercedes-Benz technicians
• Access to the latest diagnostic equipment and software
• No deductibles
• Honored at more than 350 authorized Mercedes-Benz dealerships

Pre-Owned Limited Warranty Coverage

In many cases, when Clayton drivers buy a CPO Mercedes-Benz, the vehicle still has some time left on its New Vehicle Limited Warranty. After that warranty expires, the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Warranty will begin, delivering coverage for another 12 months with unlimited miles. What’s more? This warranty covers all of the following areas throughout its duration:

• Engine components
• Steering
• Suspension
• Electrical system
• Climate control system
• Brakes
• And more!
