What's covered, in plain English

Warranty & service contract

Updated

Every Mountville vehicle comes with a free 30-day limited warranty. An 18-month service contract is available too: it's optional, nearly every customer adds it, and its cost is financed with the vehicle. Here's exactly what's covered, what isn't, and how to use it.

Standard warranty

30 days / 1,000 miles

Free with every vehicle. We pay 100% of parts and 100% of labor on covered repairs in the first 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first.

What's covered:
  • ✓ Engine: internal lubricated parts
  • ✓ Transmission: internal lubricated parts
  • ✓ Differential: internal lubricated parts

It's a limited warranty, written on the Buyers Guide you sign at delivery.

Service contract

18 months / 24,000 miles

Optional. $100 deductible per visit. Its cost is financed with the vehicle.

What's covered:
  • ✓ Engine. All internal lubricated parts, plus intake and exhaust manifolds, radiator, water pump, thermostat, fuel pump, valve covers, oil pan, timing belt and cover, engine mounts, flywheel, harmonic balancer, belt tensioner and idler pulleys.
  • ✓ Transmission. All internal lubricated parts, plus torque converter, transmission mounts, oil pan and vacuum modulator.
  • ✓ Transfer case. All internal lubricated parts, plus engagement parts and four-wheel-drive hub assemblies.
  • ✓ Drive axle. All internal lubricated parts, plus axle shafts and bearings, CV joints and boots, universal joints and center support bearing.
  • ✓ Electrical. Starter, alternator and ignition cylinder.
  • ✓ Fluids and filters when a covered repair needs them.

The engine block, cylinder head and the transmission, transfer case and axle housings are covered when a covered internal part fails and damages them.

How we treat your first 30 days

The first month is real, everyday driving, and that's when anything we missed shows up. If something comes up with safety, drivability or inspection, or an everyday item like the heat, A/C or radio, tell us right away. We want to know, and we'll take a look and work with you on it.

The written warranty above is what's guaranteed. This is simply how we do business.

Important: not bumper-to-bumper.

These coverages focus on the most expensive failure points. They do not cover: brakes, tires, batteries, hoses, A/C compressors, body damage, glass, or routine maintenance. Read the documents you sign at delivery for full terms.

If something breaks

Here's exactly what to do.

  1. 1
    Stop driving if it's serious. If the engine is making bad noises, transmission is slipping, or check engine light is flashing, pull over and call.
  2. 2
    Contact Katalina immediately. 717-681-9610 ext. 108 or text 717-340-9060. She handles all service issues. Earlier is better; don't wait days.
  3. 3
    Get a written estimate before work begins. If you're using an outside repair facility, the shop must send a written estimate to Katalina for pre-authorization. Labor rate cap is $120/hour.
  4. 4
    Keep printed maintenance receipts. Your service contract requires you to keep up with regular maintenance and have printed receipts (with your name, vehicle info, VIN, mileage). Handwritten receipts aren't accepted.
Warranty & service contract questions

Honest answers.

What does the 30-day limited warranty cover?
The internal lubricated parts of the engine, transmission, and differential. We pay 100% of parts and labor for covered repairs during the first 30 days or 1,000 miles, whichever comes first. If one of those parts fails in that window, it's on us.
What does the 18-month service contract cover?
Engine, transmission, transfer case and drive axle (all internal lubricated parts, plus parts like the water pump, radiator, fuel pump, torque converter, axle shafts and CV joints), and key electrical components (starter, alternator, ignition cylinder). Coverage runs 18 months or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. There's a $100 deductible per visit. It's optional, and nearly every customer adds it.
Is it bumper-to-bumper coverage?
No. We're upfront about that. The coverage focuses on the most expensive failure points (engine, drivetrain, key electrical). Wear items (brakes, tires, batteries, A/C compressors), body damage, glass, and routine maintenance are not covered.
Where can I get covered repairs done?
You can use our service team (contact Katalina at 717-681-9610 ext. 108) or any licensed repair facility. For outside facilities, the labor rate is capped at $120/hour, and you must get a written estimate to Katalina BEFORE work begins so we can pre-authorize.
Do I need to keep up with maintenance?
Yes. To keep the service contract valid, you need to keep up with regular maintenance (oil changes, etc.) and keep printed receipts. Receipts must show your name, vehicle info, VIN, and mileage. Handwritten receipts won't be accepted.
How do I file a claim?
Call or text Katalina at 717-681-9610 ext. 108 (or text 717-340-9060) the moment something goes wrong. She handles all service issues directly. Don't wait; earlier is better.
Do I pay extra for the warranty and service contract?
The 30-day limited warranty is included free, no charge. The 18-month service contract is optional and has a cost. Nearly every customer adds it. If you do, the cost is listed on your contract and financed with the vehicle, so there's nothing extra due at signing.
