The Most Expensive Car Repairs (and How to Avoid Paying for Them)

1. Engine Replacement – $4,000 to $8,000+

Your car’s engine is the heart of the vehicle — and when it fails, the repair bill can be massive.

A full engine replacement often costs more than many used cars on the road today. Even smaller repairs like timing chain failures or head gasket replacements can easily reach $2,000 to $3,000.

With exclusionary warranty coverage through Cuvrd, your engine repairs are covered — so you’re not stuck choosing between your car and your wallet.

2. Transmission Repair or Replacement – $3,000 to $6,000

The transmission is one of the most complex and costly components in your vehicle. Whether it’s an automatic, CVT, or dual-clutch transmission, a rebuild or replacement can easily cost several thousand dollars.

A powertrain or exclusionary extended warranty covers the transmission and drivetrain — saving you from one of the most expensive repair categories in the industry.

3. Hybrid Battery Replacement – $4,000 to $7,000

Electric and hybrid vehicles save fuel but can cost big when the high-voltage battery needs replacing.

While most hybrid batteries are built to last, they eventually wear out, and hybrid battery replacement costs can be eye-opening.

A Cuvrd partner warranty can include hybrid system coverage, helping you stay protected as EV and hybrid technology continues to evolve.

4. Air Suspension System – $1,500 to $5,000

Luxury vehicles and SUVs often use air suspension systems for a smoother ride. When an airbag or compressor fails, the repair bill can quickly climb into the thousands.

That’s why choosing inclusionary or exclusionary coverage that includes suspension components is a smart move for high-end and high-mileage vehicles.

5. Infotainment and Electronic Systems – $1,200 to $3,500

Touchscreens, sensors, cameras, and computers make modern cars safer and more enjoyable — but also more expensive to fix.

Even a simple ecm or infotainment unit replacement can cost thousands.

Exclusionary coverage through Cuvrd helps protect against electrical and high-tech component failures that older warranties often skip.
