What Is the Costco Auto Program?
The Costco Auto Program isn’t just for buying new cars — it’s a full suite of automotive benefits that includes discounts on parts, service, and accessories at select partner dealerships.

⚙️ Brake services
-
🔋 Battery testing and replacement
-
🧯 Fluid flushes and filter changes

How the Discounts Work
Members typically save 15% off parts, labor, and accessories at participating service centers, up to a maximum of $500 per visit.
That means you could save:
-
$45 on a $300 brake job
-
$75 on a $500 transmission service
-
$500 on a $3,500 repair bill
It’s simple to use:
-
Visit the Costco Auto Service page.
-
Enter your ZIP code to find nearby participating dealerships.
-
Schedule service through the dealer directly — just show your Costco membership card when you arrive.
No coupons, no fine print — just straightforward member pricing.
Other Automotive Savings for Costco Members
The Costco Auto Program also extends beyond repairs. Members can save money on:
-
🚘 New and pre-owned vehicle purchases through the Costco Auto Buying Program.
-
🛞 Tire purchases and installation from brands like Michelin, BFGoodrich, and Bridgestone — often including Costco’s free lifetime rotations, flat repairs, and balancing.
-
⛽ Fuel discounts at participating Costco gas stations, often among the lowest in town.
Add it all up, and your membership could easily save hundreds — even thousands — each year in automotive expenses.
Combine Costco Savings with Warranty Coverage for Maximum Protection
Even with discounts, major repairs can be expensive. That’s where a vehicle service contract (extended warranty) from Cuvrd can help.
With a Cuvrd partner warranty, you can:
-
✅ Cover costly mechanical failures
-
✅ Use your preferred service center (including Costco’s certified shops)
-
✅ Combine Costco discounts with warranty coverage for even greater savings
-
✅ Get 24/7 roadside assistance and rental benefits
It’s a powerful combination — everyday maintenance savings through Costco, and long-term protection through Cuvrd.
Bottom Line
Your Costco membership is good for a lot more than free samples and discounted groceries — it’s a smart way to save money on auto service and repairs all year long.
By pairing Costco’s exclusive member pricing with a Cuvrd vehicle protection plan, you can handle everything from oil changes to major engine repairs with confidence — and without breaking the bank.
Drive smart. Shop smart. Stay Cuvrd.
