GAC Motor South Africa Rolls Out Lifetime Engine Warranty

It’s Warranty Time!

GAC Motor just launched what could be the most fearless promise in the auto industry – an actual lifetime warranty on its engines. Not "ten years," not "until the cows come home," but a forever-and-always, "we’ve got your back" guarantee. This means that, for the entire time your GAC engine is in your possession, GAC Motor has sworn an oath to keep it purring like a cat in a sunbeam. And South Africa, it seems, is delighted to test this promise!

Forget the traditional warranties where they quietly tiptoe away after a few years, hoping you didn’t notice. GAC Motor's Lifetime Engine Warranty is here to turn the whole thing upside down. Salvador Caetano, GAC Motor South Africa’s partner, and GAC Motor are redefining "service for life" with an attitude that says, "We trust our engines so much, we’re willing to stick around until…well, until one of us gives up." Spoiler: it’s not the engine.

GAC Motor’s Big Promise – Honesty, Trust, and a Bit of Bravery

This isn’t just a little marketing gimmick. GAC Motor seems to be out to make some serious friends on the road. It’s a bold strategy that might make other automakers gulp, especially those whose warranties end somewhere between “oh, it’s still new” and “right when things start getting interesting.” But here, GAC is looking every South African in the eye and saying, “No problem, we got you. For life.”

Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind. GAC's one condition: To keep that sacred, shiny lifetime warranty intact, all servicing and repairs have to be done at GAC Motor authorized service centres with GAC-approved parts. Understandable – if you’re getting a lifetime warranty, it probably shouldn’t involve cousin Steve from down the street with a wrench, a can of oil, and a YouTube tutorial.

The Fine Print: GAC’s Lifetime Warranty – A Quick Read (We Promise)

Alright, so here's the deal: this lifetime warranty applies only to the original owner of the vehicle, which means that once you hand over the keys, the warranty doesn’t tag along. And while that may have resale implications, if you plan to stick with your GAC Motor for life, it’s like getting a pet that never grows old or loses its charm. You’ll just need to keep a traceable service record with GAC’s authorized centers – a pretty small price for peace of mind.

Building GAC Nation, One Service Center at a Time

Here’s where it gets even better: GAC Motor’s warranty will be backed by an expanding network of dealerships and service centers all over South Africa. So, whether you’re in the heart of Joburg or out on the coast, chances are you won’t have to travel far to find a GAC Motor specialist ready to care for your beloved engine.

They’re planning to roll out these centers over the next three years, which means GAC Motor service will soon be as common as your nearest coffee shop. "Warranty support" will be right around the corner, and with any luck, these centers will offer coffee, free Wi-Fi, and maybe even a massage chair or two – we can dream, right?

Why GAC? Three Words: Craftsmanship, Durability, Quality

GAC Motor isn’t just offering a warranty – they’re offering peace of mind. With craftsmanship, durability, and quality, GAC promises an emotional bond with your car (yep, it’s in their release), one that’s built on high-performance engines, meticulous design, and a sprinkle of that special “we care” fairy dust.

And when they say “quality,” they’re not talking just bells and whistles. The GAC Group is China’s 5th largest automotive giant, running three cutting-edge production facilities and six research and development centers globally. So, if you’re putting down your trust in a GAC engine, rest assured it’s backed by some of the best automotive brains out there.

The Final Gear – Are You Ready for a Lifetime of Carefree Driving?

The whole thing might sound too good to be true, but that’s what GAC Motor is counting on. They want to be the South African car buyer’s dream come true – or at least, the car buyer who wants reliability, accountability, and a bit of adventure under the hood.

Leslie Ramsoomar, head of GAC Motor South Africa, captured it best: “We’re thrilled to bring this warranty to South Africa. We want motorists to feel the joy and security of a lifetime commitment to quality.” If you’ve been eyeing the Emzoom or Emkoo, GAC’s signature models, now might be the time to take the leap.

So, South Africa, the road to a forever warranty begins here. Grab your keys, visit a GAC showroom, and get ready to drive with a little more confidence – and a lot more warranty – than ever before.
