A warranty is your safety net-peace of mind that if something goes wrong, you're covered. Castle CDJR of Chesterton's vehicles come with strong protection, and we can help you understand exactly what you've got.

**New vehicle warranties:**
Every new Jeep, RAM, Dodge, and Chrysler includes the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty. Coverage typically includes defects in materials and workmanship for a set period and mileage. Exact terms depend on the brand and model.

**Used vehicle coverage:**
Pre-owned vehicles may carry remaining manufacturer warranty, or we offer options to extend protection. Ask our sales team what applies to the specific vehicle you're interested in.

**Extended warranties & service plans:**
You can purchase additional coverage beyond the base warranty for added peace of mind-especially useful for high-mileage or longer ownership.

**What's typically covered:**
- Engine, transmission, electrical systems
- Powertrain components
- Most mechanical parts (varies by plan)

**What's usually not:**
- Routine maintenance (oil, filters, brakes)
- Wear items (tires, wipers, batteries)
- Damage from accidents or misuse

Our sales and finance teams will explain warranty options and coverage details. Call (219) 250-9487 to discuss protection that fits your needs.
