Warranties and service contracts at Swant Graber

The short answer

New-vehicle factory warranties

*Ram's 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Care extension applies to 2026 model year Ram trucks (excluding fully electric) bought new at retail by the first owner; later owners keep 5 years/60,000 miles (5 years/100,000 diesel). Ram's 2027 light-duty booklet lists 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain with no extension. For other 2027 models, the warranty booklet for that vehicle controls; we'll show it to you before you sign.

Warranty work on Chevrolet, Ram and Dodge is done at Swant Graber Motors; Ford at Swant Graber Ford. We don't service electric vehicles, so EV warranty work goes to an EV-certified dealer for that brand.

Used vehicles: our coverage and certified programs

Swant Graber used coverage: 45 days / 5,000 miles powertrain, on used units 10 model years or newer with under 150,000 miles. See dealer for details.

• CarBravo, at Swant Graber Motors: CarBravo certified vehicles (under 10 model years and 100,000 miles) carry a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty with no deductible; BravoBudget vehicles carry a 30-day/1,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Swant Graber Motors honors CarBravo's 10-day/500-mile Vehicle Exchange Program. GM's conditions apply: within 10 days or 500 miles of purchase, whichever comes first; it's a vehicle exchange only, not a refund; limitations apply. More on CarBravo.
• Ford Blue Advantage, at Swant Graber Ford: Gold Certified (Ford models up to 6 years old, under 80,000 miles) adds a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive and 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty. Blue Certified (up to 10 years old, under 150,000 miles) adds a 90-day/4,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty.

Swant Graber Ford participates in the 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee; Ford's conditions apply: return within 14 days or 1,000 miles of the original sale date, whichever comes first, in the same condition as sold. More on Ford Blue Advantage.
• Remaining factory warranty: a newer used vehicle may still have factory coverage. Ask us to check by VIN.

Every used vehicle has a Wisconsin Buyers Guide on the window showing the warranty that applies, or that it's sold as-is.

Service contracts we offer

A service contract (often called an "extended warranty") pays for covered repairs after a mechanical breakdown, under the contract's terms. Under Wisconsin dealer rules, service contracts aren't warranties, but they follow the same written-disclosure rules. We offer three providers. Descriptions come from each provider's published materials; the contract you sign controls.

CNA National Warranty (VSC Care)

• Powertrain Advantage Care+Plus: stated-component coverage of the engine, transmission and drivetrain assembly, including turbochargers, transfer case and 4WD actuator.
• Vehicle Value Care+Plus and Mechanical Advantage Care+Plus: middle tiers that add systems such as fuel, cooling, electrical, steering, brakes, climate control and suspension, and then electronics.
• Automotive Preferred Care+Plus: exclusionary coverage; CNA lists the parts that aren't covered (for example brake pads and rotors, body panels, glass and the exhaust system).
• Benefits CNA lists: roadside up to $50 and towing up to $150 per occurrence, rental reimbursement up to $50 a day ($350 max), trip-interruption reimbursement, and up to $100 toward a factory-warranty deductible. Coverage is honored at licensed repair facilities in the U.S. and Canada and is secondary to the manufacturer's warranty.
• CNA also has Certified+Plus plans for manufacturer-certified vehicles and EVSC for electric vehicles.

Ford Protect Extended Service Plans

• PowertrainCARE (29 components), BaseCARE (84), ExtraCARE (113) and PremiumCARE (1,000+). Each tier includes the one below it.
• New-vehicle plans run up to 10 years or 175,000 miles. Used plans are available on Ford and other makes, typically from 1 year/10,000 miles up to 6 years/75,000 miles, starting at the signature date and current mileage; eligibility depends on model year and mileage.
• Ford also lists upgrade plans for Ford Blue Advantage Gold and Blue certified vehicles.
• Plans include 24-hour roadside assistance and are transferable (transfer fee applies).

National Auto Care (NAC)

• Pinnacle: NAC's most comprehensive, exclusionary agreement, for vehicles 10 years old or newer with up to 156,000 miles at purchase.
• Preferred: stated-component coverage for vehicles up to 15 years old and 156,000 miles, with options such as personal-use snowplow and commercial use (surcharges apply).
• Elite series (Powertrain, Standard, Premium Elite): stated-component plans; Premium Elite lists no mileage or year restriction.
• NAC has merged with EasyCare; the claims and customer-service number is printed on your agreement.

Optional, and never required for financing

Service contracts are optional. You can buy, lease or finance a vehicle at Swant Graber without one, and it's never a condition of financing approval. CNA's own materials say it plainly: "You may purchase or lease a vehicle without this product."

• If you choose one, it's listed separately on your purchase contract, as Wisconsin rules require.
• Ask to read the contract before you sign: deductible, exclusions, cancellation and refund terms, transfer rules, and where repairs can be done.
• A service contract doesn't replace the factory warranty. While factory coverage lasts, it pays first.
• We don't list prices here; they depend on the vehicle, its mileage, the plan and the deductible. Ask our finance office for a written quote.
