Jeep Wrangler Extended Warranty
The Jeep Wrangler is America's most iconic off-roader — built for adventure and rugged terrain. But the Wrangler's demanding use cases, complex drivetrain, and high repair costs make extended warranty coverage especially valuable. Athena Auto Protection protects Wrangler owners from the shop bills that come with hard use.

Jeep Wrangler Extended Warranty FAQ
New Jeep Wranglers come with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. After those expire, all repair costs are your responsibility. Athena extends that protection.
Common Wrangler issues include transfer case leaks and failure, 8-speed transmission shudder and hesitation, differential wear (especially on lifted or off-road models), cooling system leaks, and A/C compressor failures. Repairs range from $900 to $5,500+.
Most Jeep Wrangler model years with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible, including JK (2007–2018) and JL (2018+) generations. Contact us for a specific eligibility check.
Athena covers mechanical breakdowns from internal component failures — not damage from accidents, collisions, or off-road impacts. Coverage is for mechanical failure, not abuse or accident-related damage.
Plans for a Jeep Wrangler typically start at $45–$100 per month depending on age, mileage, and coverage tier. Call (833) 251-9786 for a free personalized quote.
