Your Genesis factory warranty is your foundation-it covers manufacturing defects for a set period. An extended protection plan or extended warranty picks up where factory coverage ends, offering additional peace of mind for longer ownership and higher mileage. Extended plans can vary widely in what they cover, deductibles, and terms. Our finance team can walk you through your options, explain the differences, and help you choose the protection level that matches your needs and budget. Call (630) 598-9950 to discuss what's available for your vehicle.
