// EXTENDED WARRANTY

Is a Blazer extended warranty worth it?

Probably not. The Chevrolet Blazer's 11% major repair probability over 5 years is below the segment average β€” 89 out of 100 owners won't hit a repair that exceeds the warranty cost. The most reliable years to buy are the 2022, 2023, and 2025. The exception: if you're buying a 2019, 2020, and 2024, check the known issues before deciding.
