Alfa Romeo drivers have three extended warranty options and one tire coverage option through Mopar, a parts and service provider owned by the same parent company. Here’s a breakdown of each plan’s coverage terms:

Available warranty plans and coverage terms may vary by dealership. Your vehicle generally needs to be within certain age and mileage limits to be eligible for coverage, and these restrictions may also vary by location. There may be an additional charge if you purchase a plan after 1 year/12,000 miles.

Here’s a summary of the vehicle components each Alfa Romeo extended warranty covers:

The road hazard tire and wheel plan pays to repair or replace tires and wheels damaged by things like potholes and curbs. Plans last between two and seven years. To be eligible for coverage, vehicles must be no more than 10 model years old and have no more than 100,000 miles.

Mopar requires that covered repairs be done at an Alfa Romeo dealership, or if there isn’t one available, a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram or Fiat® dealer. This differs from third-party extended auto warranty providers like Endurance, which let you take your vehicle to any licensed mechanic.

The Powertrain Care, Added Care Plus and Maximum Care plans are transferable, so the new owner would have coverage if you sold your car before the warranty expired. There’s a $50 fee for this in most states.

All vehicle service contracts have exclusions, and Mopar is no different. Here’s a look at some of the things the company’s extended car warranties don’t cover:

When you buy a Mopar vehicle protection plan for your Alfa Romeo, the contract will list all of the exclusions.

Along with covering many repair costs, a Mopar extended warranty comes with the following perks:

We got a quote for an 8-year/125,000-mile Maximum Care plan for a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia for $4,290. You’d have a $200 down payment, 24 interest-free payments of $170.42 and a $100 deductible.

We also got a quote for a 2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio under the Added Care Plus plan with a $200 deductible and coverage terms of 7 years/unlimited miles. With a $200 down payment, monthly payments would be $135.83. If you paid in full, the up-front cost would be $3,460.

Finally, we were quoted $2,960 up front or $115 per month for a 7-year/unlimited-mile powertrain warranty with a $200 down payment and a $100 deductible. We were also quoted $485 for the road hazard tire and wheel plan, with coverage terms of 7 years/unlimited miles. All quotes were for vehicles with 12,001 to 36,000 miles.

Coverage, costs and payment options may differ based on where you buy a plan. Your price will also depend on several factors, including these:

We use RepairPal to help determine how reliable a vehicle brand is. However, the repair estimation website only has information about one Alfa Romeo model: the Giulia. The site estimates drivers should expect to pay an average of $834 annually for maintenance and repairs. While this vehicle is more expensive to maintain on average than Lexus vehicles ($551), luxury brands like BMW ($968) and Porsche ($1,192) tend to have higher repair bills.

Alfa Romeo is a luxury and performance brand, so parts can be more expensive. Given their higher repair costs, it could be wise to have an extended vehicle warranty to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

When you buy a new Alfa Romeo, you’ll receive a 4-year/50,000-mile basic limited warranty with emergency roadside assistance. Your factory warranty excludes routine maintenance and wear-and-tear components.

A CPO Alfa Romeo comes with a 5-year/100,000-mile Maximum Care limited warranty. It covers more than 5,000 components and has a $0 deductible. You can also extend coverage for as long as you have your vehicle.

A Mopar extended warranty might not be the best option for your Alfa Romeo, so you may be considering third-party companies. Here are some things to keep in mind about independent warranty providers:

Compare extended auto warranty providers to determine which one offers you the best fit in regards to pricing and coverage levels.

Unlike many third-party providers, Endurance offers coverage for luxury brands like Alfa Romeo. Endurance allows you to have covered repairs done at any shop certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE®) instead of limiting you to an Alfa Romeo dealership. The company’s plans may also be more affordable than an Alfa Romeo extended warranty from Mopar.
