The years follow the product
On Garagat, the warranty length is tied to the coating product. One garage sells GTECHNIQ with a 3, 5 or 7-year option; another lists coatings from 1 year up to 7 years, one product per tier. A longer tier is a different, more durable coating system, not just more of the same.
What the warranty covers
Listings describe cover for material-related defects, such as loss of clarity or the coating failing to bond. A coating warranty covers the product, not new scratches or stone chips, so ask the garage what is excluded. For chips, paint protection film is the stronger choice.
Maintenance keeps it working
Some packages include maintenance, for example two booster sessions with a 3-year coating. Ask whether the warranty depends on regular maintenance visits, and keep the paperwork.
Who sets the warranty
Each garage sets its own warranty terms, often backed by the coating brand, and Garagat helps with claims. After the work, you have a 2-day review window in the app to report anything that isn't right.
Choosing a tier
If you keep cars for two or three years, a 3-year coating may be all you need. If you plan to keep the car longer, compare the 5 and 7-year tiers, and remember that preparation, such as polishing first, matters as much as the product.
What voids a coating warranty
Warranties usually expect regular gentle washing and, on some tiers, maintenance visits. Harsh chemicals, abrasive polishing by someone else or skipped maintenance can affect a claim. Read the terms before you book.
Graphene and nano ceramic tiers
Some garages offer graphene or nano ceramic coatings with their own warranty lengths. Compare like with like: the product, the layers, the warranty years and what maintenance is included.
Questions drivers ask
What does a ceramic coating warranty cover?
Usually material defects in the coating, such as loss of gloss or the coating failing to bond. It doesn't cover new scratches or stone chips.
Is a 7-year ceramic coating worth it?
If you'll keep the car that long and follow the maintenance, yes. If you change cars every two or three years, a shorter tier may be enough.
Do I need maintenance for my ceramic coating?
Some warranties require it. Ask whether the package includes booster sessions and how often you should come back.
Who handles a coating warranty claim?
The garage that applied it, often backed by the coating brand. Keep your paperwork.
