 {{ :gamemanual:reports_expenses_warranties.png?direct&400|}}
+The Warranties and Parts Information report contains your parts revenues and expenses for every vehicle you sold in the last seven years. The game generates Warranties and Parts revenues from the quality ratings of your vehicles and the number of units you sell.

Over time, you will get fewer parts revenues as aftermarket suppliers take over from your OEM supplies.
