The Mtn View Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is a limited warranty that covers the key components that create power and deliver it to your wheels—engine, transmission, transfer case, and drive axles—for as long as you own your vehicle. It offers unlimited time and unlimited miles coverage on eligible vehicles purchased at participating Mtn View Auto Group dealerships.
This warranty is designed to protect you from the most expensive repair bills you might face during long‑term ownership. For example, industry data shows that average engine claims can exceed $3,000 and transmission claims over $4,500 from lifetime powertrain programs. With your Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, covered failures to these components are repaired or replaced, with parts and labor included, for a low deductible. That means you can focus on driving, not budgeting for major breakdowns.
In simple terms, if a covered internally lubricated part in your powertrain fails under normal use and you have followed the required maintenance, Mtn View will arrange for repair or replacement of the covered part. The coverage follows the vehicle for as long as you own it; once you sell or trade the vehicle, the coverage ends. This makes the warranty ideal for shoppers who plan to keep their car, truck, or SUV for many years.
Powertrain Coverage: Engine, Transmission, Drive Axle, and more
The Lifetime Powertrain Warranty focuses on the systems that keep your vehicle moving. A powertrain warranty generally covers the engine, transmission, and drive axle(s), the same core components identified by experts as the heart of a vehicle’s reliability. Mtn View’s coverage goes deep into these systems, including many related parts.

Engine (gasoline and diesel) coverage includes all internally lubricated parts inside the engine block and cylinder heads. Beyond that, it also includes non‑internally lubricated parts such as the water pump, fuel pump, valve covers, oil pan, dipstick and tube, timing belt, timing chain and cover, engine mounts, flywheel, ring gear, flex plate, harmonic balancer, belt tensioner, idler pulleys, intake and exhaust manifolds, and factory‑installed turbocharger or supercharger. The cylinder head, engine block, and rotor housings are covered when damaged by the failure of a covered internally lubricated part.
-
Transmission (automatic and manual, including automated manuals) coverage includes all internally lubricated parts inside the transmission case. It also extends to the transmission mounts, oil pan, dipstick and filler tube, and vacuum modulator on automatics, plus the clutch on automatically shifted manuals. The transmission case itself is covered when damaged due to a covered internal part failure.
-
Transfer case coverage includes all internally lubricated parts, as well as electronic and vacuum engagement parts and four‑wheel‑drive automatic, semi‑automatic, and manually operated hub assemblies. The transfer case housing is covered when damage results from a covered internal part failure.
-
Drive axle (front and/or rear) coverage includes all internally lubricated components inside the axle housing, plus axle shafts, axle bearings, constant‑velocity joints and boots, universal joints, and the center support bearing. The final drive housing is covered when damaged due to the failure of a covered internally lubricated part.

Fluids, Filters, and How Claims Work Under the Warranty
Beyond hard parts, the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty also recognizes that major repairs require fluids and filters to be replaced. Eligible claims include coolant, lubricants, and filters when they are required in connection with the repair or replacement of a covered component. That means when a covered repair is performed, the associated fluids and filters used to complete that job are also included under the warranty.
When a covered component fails, the process is straightforward. You contact the service department at a participating Mtn View Auto Group dealership, describe the concern, and schedule an inspection. After diagnosis confirms a covered failure, the dealership arranges the repair or replacement using qualified technicians and approved parts. You are responsible only for the low deductible—typically $100 per repair visit—while the warranty pays the remaining parts and labor costs for covered items.
Industry averages show that unexpected repairs can easily climb into four figures; many powertrain warranty programs report typical claims in the $1,000–$1,500 range for major components. Having a lifetime powertrain warranty in place means these big expenses are largely absorbed by the coverage, provided you have maintained the vehicle according to the terms of the warranty agreement.
It is important to retain records of your oil changes, fluid services, and other recommended maintenance. These records help verify that you have met the maintenance requirements if a claim is filed. Keeping organized documentation can make the claim process smoother and faster.
Key Lifetime Warranty Benefits Versus Typical Coverage
Most new vehicles come with a limited powertrain warranty from the manufacturer, often in the range of five years or 60,000 miles, though exact terms vary by brand. Once that coverage expires, you are responsible for the full cost of any powertrain repairs unless you have purchased an extended service contract. The Mtn View Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is designed to go far beyond those factory limits.
First, the coverage lasts for as long as you own the vehicle, with no time or mileage cap. Whether you put 60,000 miles or 260,000 miles on your car, the covered powertrain components remain protected, as long as the vehicle and repairs meet the program guidelines. This is especially valuable for drivers in the Chattanooga and North Georgia region who rely on their vehicles for long commutes or frequent highway travel.
Second, covered claims include both parts and labor. Powertrain work is specialized and labor‑intensive; labor can represent a significant portion of any repair bill. Knowing that both the replacement parts and the technician’s time are included, minus your deductible, helps remove uncertainty from your long‑term ownership costs.
Third, the warranty offers a simple, low deductible, commonly $100 per visit, even if the repair involves something as major as replacing the entire engine. For many drivers, this predictable out‑of‑pocket cost is easier to budget for than an unexpected $3,000–$4,500 engine repair.
Which Mtn View Stores Include the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty
The Mtn View Lifetime Powertrain Warranty program is offered at the following participating Mtn View Auto Group locations for eligible vehicle purchases:
- Mtn View Nissan of Chattanooga
- Mtn View Nissan of Cleveland
- Mtn View Nissan of Dalton
- Mtn View Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM

Availability, terms, and eligible vehicles may vary by dealership and over time, so be sure to contact each location directly to confirm current Lifetime Powertrain Warranty details before you buy.
Service for covered repairs should be coordinated through a participating Mtn View dealership’s service department. Your specific warranty paperwork, provided at the time of purchase, will outline any additional program administrators or contact numbers, but your local Mtn View store is your starting point whenever you have a concern about a covered component.
How to Keep Your Lifetime Warranty Valid and Protect Your Investment
To enjoy the full benefit of the Mtn View Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, it is essential to follow the maintenance and documentation requirements described in your warranty agreement. Like other powertrain warranties, coverage depends on completing all scheduled maintenance, such as oil and filter changes, transmission services, and other fluid replacements, at the intervals specified by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Best practice is to have maintenance performed at a Mtn View Auto Group service department, where your records are stored electronically and tied to your vehicle. If you choose another qualified service provider, always save detailed receipts that show the date, mileage, and services performed, as well as the fluids and parts used. These documents can be requested if you file a powertrain warranty claim.
Driving habits also matter. Avoid severe misuse, racing, or operating the vehicle beyond its rated capacities, as abuse can void coverage. Address dashboard warning lights and unusual noises promptly; delaying needed repairs can turn a minor issue into a major failure. When in doubt, contact your closest Mtn View dealership to ask whether a concern might involve a covered powertrain component.
Finally, consider whether additional coverage like a vehicle service contract makes sense for you. These contracts can complement your Lifetime Powertrain Warranty by adding protection for systems not included in the powertrain—such as air conditioning, electronics, and high‑tech safety features—while your lifetime powertrain coverage continues to safeguard the engine, transmission, transfer case, and drive axles for as long as you own your vehicle.
