Toyota’s Comprehensive Warranty and Maintenance Programs

As everything gets more expensive, from parts to labor to routine maintenance, drivers really don’t like surprises. Every day, as we help drivers at our Toyota dealership pick out their ideal models and finalize payment packages, we face the same questions: “What kind of warranty comes with this?” and “Is maintenance included?” We understand the concern. When issues come up with a vehicle, the repair costs can suddenly skyrocket. Not everybody has the budget to handle major problems. Plus, many drivers dread the process of taking a car to several mechanics and getting multiple quotes. Toyota gets that, which is why the brand offers drivers a comprehensive menu of warranty and maintenance options.

Toyota’s warranty and maintenance packages are available for drivers of brand-new and used vehicles. The factory warranties are designed to keep your Toyota on the road for years to come without impacting your budget. Meanwhile, the standard and optional maintenance plans cover everything from routine maintenance to roadside assistance, and there are options for cars with different mileage and ages. It’s something we’re proud to tell our shoppers about because it gives them the peace of mind of knowing that they won't be completely blindsided by repair costs. Here is a look at the maintenance and warranty package options for Toyota shoppers.

Toyota Warranty Plans

Toyota New Vehicle Warranty

Toyota gives every driver of a new model a generous warranty on critical components. Drivers of new Toyotas enjoy a 60-month or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, which will cover items like the engine, transmission, and all-wheel drive systems. They also get a basic warranty that covers the non-powertrain components and lasts for 36 months or 36,000 miles. Finally, there is a corrosion warranty that covers the vehicle for 60 months and unlimited miles and emissions coverage, the terms of which vary per state.

Toyota Hybrid Warranty

Recently, Toyota has enhanced the warranties for its hybrid vehicles. All vehicles made starting in 2020 now have hybrid battery warranties that last for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Additionally, the other parts of the hybrid system are covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. As Toyota continues to add to its hybrid lineup with electrified powertrains for models like the Tundra, Tacoma, and Land Cruiser, drivers will find peace of mind in these hybrid-specific warranties.

ToyotaCare

ToyotaCare is the base-level maintenance package, and it comes with every brand-new Toyota model, whether you buy or lease your vehicle. This package will cover routine maintenance for the first two years or 25,000 miles and comes at no cost to the shopper. The coverage includes oil and filter changes to keep your engine properly lubricated. It will also cover tire rotations to ensure that all four of your tires are wearing at the same rate for a balanced drive.

Our Toyota technicians will also inspect the fluids in your car and top them off when necessary. Plus, your vehicle will get a multi-point inspection with each service, during which time factory-trained technicians will look over every nook and cranny of your Toyota to check for any issues. After their inspection, they’ll give you their report and make any necessary recommendations. Should you need parts replaced under the warranty, you’ll get genuine Toyota parts, so you know they’ll work seamlessly with your model.

Drivers with ToyotaCare also get 24/7 roadside assistance for the first two years and unlimited miles. When incidents happen on the road, it’s nice to know that you can call for assistance and not worry about the cost. With Toyota’s 24/7 roadside assistance, you’ll get no-cost battery jump starts, emergency fuel delivery, towing, winching, and lockout protection. If your car dies, you run out of fuel, or you simply lock yourself out, help will be on the way with a simple call — and you won’t face a surprise bill.

ToyotaCare Plus

ToyotaCare Plus is a great choice for those who want protection for longer than the standard ToyotaCare plan offers. It lasts for up to five years or 75,000 miles from the date the vehicle was sold. While standard ToyotaCare is for brand-new cars, this option is also available for those purchasing a gently used Toyota.

In order to qualify for this plan, a used vehicle must have fewer than 31,000 miles on it and be within 37 months of the vehicle’s first use. When you look at these numbers, you can see that this is a popular plan for people who buy a recently turned-in lease. With many leases running for 36 months, we regularly turn around and sell these vehicles while they’re still within that 37-month window.

Drivers can choose the length and terms of their plan. There is a three-year plan with a duration of 35,000 or 45,000 miles, a four-year plan with a duration of 45,000 or 60,000 miles, and a five-year plan with a duration of 55,000 or 75,000 miles. All of these options cover the same routine maintenance as the ToyotaCare plan and provide 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the plan.

Toyota Service Care

What options do drivers have when they purchase a used vehicle with more than 31,000 miles on it? Or when they’ve simply been driving their car for so long that their ToyotaCare or ToyotaCare Plus plan expires? They can purchase Toyota Service Care.

Most Toyota vehicles, regardless of mileage, are eligible for Toyota Service Care. This is a prepaid maintenance plan that lasts for two years and unlimited miles. It will get you the same factory-recommended routine services and 24/7 roadside assistance (even if someone else is driving the vehicle when an issue occurs) as ToyotaCare.

We like to recommend this plan to our customers who don’t want to have to remember to put money aside each month for routine service. We know that life gets busy, and sometimes, people neglect to budget for things like oil changes and fluid top-offs. Plus, because this plan includes roadside assistance, it saves drivers the trouble of purchasing a third-party membership for things like towing, emergency fuel delivery, and similar services.
