ABT NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY

ABT Sportsline GmbH will provide a 2-year warranty within the scope of the factory warranty after initial delivery of the vehicle up to 100,000 km in accordance with the ABT warranty guidelines (only valid in the following countries: Austria, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Poland). A mobility guarantee and a claim for a replacement vehicle are not included in the warranty. The ABT warranty is included in the price of the performance upgrade.

If, for example, the performance upgrade from ABT Sportsline GmbH is installed on a vehicle 10 months after initial registration, ABT Sportsline GmbH will assume the manufacturer’s factory warranty for the remaining 14 months up to a maximum of 100,000 km after the initial delivery of the vehicle.

In addition, the ABT extended warranty is available for AUDI, VW, SEAT and CUPRA vehicles with a factory extended warranty. This must be concluded at the time of the provision of services.

The ABT Sportsline extended warranty will incur additional costs depending on your vehicle’s kW output or group. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us or your VW, AUDI, SKODA or SEAT dealer.
