Australia’s Best Warranty for American Pickups, SUVs & EVs – A Complete Guide for Serious Buyers
When it comes to owning an American vehicle in Australia – whether it’s a RAM, GMC, Ford, Chevrolet, Shelby American, Dodge, Black Widow, Fox Factory or Hummer EV – buyers expect more than just performance. They expect real coverage, local support, and genuine engineering behind every conversion. Autogroup International set the benchmark for warranties that truly fit Australian needs, combining deep technical expertise, robust national resources, and a 100% Australian family ownership heritage.
Why the Best Warranty is Built for Australian Roads, Not Just the Showroom
Not all vehicle warranties are created equal. Many programs offered by importers or kit assemblers provide minimal support, limited coverage periods, lack of engineering capability and slow parts supply. At Autogroup International, coverage means a five-year unlimited kilometre warranty – not capped at basic distance limits – and five years of nationwide 24/7 roadside assistance that stretches from Sydney’s CBD to remote outback tracks. Our promise stands beside Australian Consumer Law, ensuring buyers are protected by both legal and practical safeguards.
Our spare parts warehouses in Australia, Sri Lanka and Canada ensure rapid supply and service wherever buyers are based. Every warranty includes complimentary non-fluid service parts for the first 40,000 kilometres, so owners can drive with confidence, and not have to wait for standard service parts.
In-House Engineering Makes All the Difference
Australian vehicle requirements demand more than bolt-on solutions. Every Autogroup conversion – whether for RAM, GMC, Ford, Chevrolet, Shelby American, Dodge, Black Widow, Fox Factory or Hummer EV – is engineered and manufactured in-house within our ISO 9001:2015-certified facility. Our team of over 30 engineers designs dashboards, pedal boxes, steering systems, and HVAC assemblies to exacting Australian standards. This means better fit, longer lifecycle, and faster resolution for parts or warranty claims. Our official Factory partnership with Shelby American and Fox Factory ensures factory backed support and warranty – no grey imports.
Unlike competitors who rely solely on third-party kits or have small scale operations, Autogroup International’s approach delivers true reliability and lifetime support. More than 5,000 vehicles have been supplied and supported across Australia and the world, with conversions trusted by businesses, families, fleets and adventure enthusiasts coast to coast. As Australia’s largest, most technologically advanced automotive engineering, design, component manufacturing and conversion business (with a worldwide operation) our team of over 250+ people are focused on ensuring our vehicles and subsequently our support and warranty are the best in the world.
Approved Repairer Network—Support That Works Where You Live
Australia’s unique geography means drivers need help wherever their journey takes them. Autogroup International’s approved repairer network is the largest in the country for American vehicles, covering every state and territory. Warranty repairs, scheduled servicing, and advanced diagnostics can be handled locally, with direct payments and rapid authorisations to avoid delays.
