Questions shoppers ask

Which brand of skates & skateboards has the best warranty?

On paper, Globe scores highest, with no full coverage but some parts covered to lifetime. Landyachtz covers everything longest, at 1 year.

Is a long warranty on skates & skateboards really that long?

Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.

Do I need to register to get the warranty?

None of the 6 brands require registration for their basic coverage. Registering can still get you recall notices. Keep your receipt either way.
