Description
Did you know that the standard Factory Warranty expires at 3 years and/or 36,000 Miles (whichever comes first)? If you buy a used Toyota from an Authorized Toyota Dealership that has not undergone a full Toyota 160-point minimum Quality Assurance Inspection, then you are only covered by the warranty that is provided by that dealership upon purchase. Ask for details on how to have that pre-owned Toyota Certified and how to obtain the Guaranteed “Used Toyota Warranty” to insure your vehicle is covered up to no cost to yourself for most repairs. (Please read all warranty details and exclusions)
If you are planning on keeping your vehicle for the long haul and want to protect yourself from the possibility of expensive repairs, you’ll want to make sure your vehicle is covered by a comprehensive factory authorized extended warranty.

Toyota drivers may be dismayed to find that there are exceptions to their factory warranty coverage. Damage resulting from fire or theft is excluded, as are breakdowns from using fluids or fuel not specified in your owner’s manual. Here are some other causes of damage that won’t be covered under your factory warranty:
- Airborne chemicals
- Tree sap
- Road debris (including stone chips)
- Salt
- Damage from storms like hail, floods, wind storms, or lightning
- Water contamination
It’s also good to note that tires are not covered by Toyota’s factory warranty and are instead covered by the tiremaker.
The ToyotaCare No Cost Maintenance Plan provides added incentive to new Toyota drivers by covering maintenance costs for 2 years/25,000 miles and free roadside service for 2 years/unlimited mileage. However, this service is not extended beyond the initial two years. After expiration, expect to pay out of pocket for an oil change, tire rotation, inspection, or fluid level adjustment.
Finally, Toyota drivers will need to plan for “normal wear and tear” expenses like engine tune-ups, spark plug or fuse replacements, wiper blade repairs, brake pad issues, and cosmetic problems, none of which are covered under the basic Toyota warranty. This includes noises and vibrations your car may make, but also cosmetic conditions or deterioration caused by normal wear and tear on the road.
Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV)
Toyota models younger than 6 years old and with less than 65,000 miles are eligible for a used vehicle certification. To qualify as a Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV), vehicles undergo a 160-point car inspection and a review of a CARFAX report. TCUVs come with a unique used Toyota warranty that begins at the date of purchase and includes many of the same types of coverage as new car warranties:
- 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Comprehensive Warranty for basic repairs and replacements
- 7-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty
- 8-year/100,000-mile Factory Hybrid Vehicle Battery Warranty
- 8-year/100,000-mile Fuel Cell Vehicle Warranty
- 1 year of roadside assistance
