Replying to: tmcgilvray (Dec 06, 2006 3:22 pm) Sorry, I'm not too impressed with www.hondacaresource.com. They misquoted the 0% interest 7/0/120k fee charged by myhondawarranty.com at $955 when it is really $900 (with $25 admin fee and $25 HondaParts certificate). That is cheaper than the Bernardi rate at $900 with a $50 admin fee. If I'm not mistaken, Mr. McGilvray works at Bernardi.   Buyers beware!

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm) I wondered about the "owner" of myhondawarranty.com site. Did some fishing and found a name to whom the name is registered. The same name comes up as having connection with acuracarewarranty.com (and hondawarrantyinfo.com). Both sites may have the same web designer.   Acuracarewarranty.com has Bernadi as links in the header bar and clearly says it's maintained by same (http://www.hondawarrantyinfo.com/acura/).   Is there a connection between the sites and a particular dealer? Is the information on warranties from other sources correct? Replies to this message: gardinerr (Dec 07, 2006 9:15 am) dwynne (Dec 08, 2006 10:48 am) qwerty_oc (Dec 09, 2006 9:45 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 06, 2006 10:06 pm) I ASSUME the site is set up to pull quotes from the other online dealers periodically and I would think, automatically. I have no idea how often it checks, but I would guess any such system would not be goof-proof. Heck, if someone typed the prices in manually it is not likely to be right all the time .   Before someone buys they should check all the sources for the latest prices - for sure if you want to do something like finance the warranty purchase. It looks like it is neck and neck between Saccucci and Bernardi right now for the lowest prices - but I have not checked in a few days   Dennis

Replying to: imidazol97 (Dec 07, 2006 5:21 am) My name is Gardiner and I run MyHondaWarranty.com for Saccucci Honda. I watch these forums daily and when I saw this new website popping up, I too was concerned about the ownership.   The design aspects are very similiar to Bernardi Website. I sent the owner an e-mail with my contact info, and quickly got a phone call from him. The owner of the site previously worked for Bernardi, and did their warranty site design. He has started his own business and being familiar with the Honda Care internet market created this comparison shopping website. I will be meeting with him in the near future, and hope to work with him so we can provide accurate pricing information.   If anybody has any questions for me about my websites or Honda Care, please feel free to ask.   We are currently redesigning our Honda Care and Ford ESP Websites to make them more user friendly.

#1336 of 3093 HondaCare roadside assistance vs AAA by jimmibondi Dec 08, 2006 (9:40 am)
I have been debating buying the hondacare warranty. I think if it replaces half of my AAA coverage (for me and my wife), it is definitely worth it. Cursory reading of the benefits seem to indicate that the two are similar. Are they?   AAA sells it's membership to named individuals, not specific vehicles. If I get hondacare for my honda does anyone know how I can buy roadside assistance for my other car?

Replying to: gardinerr (Dec 07, 2006 9:15 am) Thanks for posting - and thanks for your low prices   I have not purchased from Saccucci - yet - when I needed coverage Bernardi or (farther back) another dealer was cheapest. Last time I did check, you appeared to be about the cheapest - and for sure if someone wanted to do the 0% finance deal I think you had the best deal.   Dennis Replies to this message: qwerty_oc (Dec 09, 2006 9:45 pm) dwynne (Dec 10, 2006 2:57 pm)

Replying to: dwynne (Dec 08, 2006 10:48 am) Has anyone had experience with purchasing through Saccucci/myhondawarranty, I purchased a new Pilot today and of course the finance person used all kinds of scare tactics to discourage me from buying the hondacare from them.

Replying to: qwerty_oc (Dec 09, 2006 9:45 pm) You can get HC from any Honda authorized dealer - and the ones that advertise cheap HC policies online (like Saccucci) are legit Honda dealers. You get the same HC contract and you can call the HC toll free number after you sign up (give it a couple of weeks), give them your VIN, and they will confirm your coverage.   There ARE folks on the web trying to sell bogus warranties and non-Honda warranties, but just be sure what you buy is the real deal from a real Honda dealer and you should be OK (note that many Honda dealers also sell non HC warranties for extra profit - so be sure it is HC). If it makes you feel better, use the Honda dealer locator to find Saccucci and call in on their main, listed number - then you know you are talking to a real Honda dealer.   At the time I purchased, I went with the lowest price - so I have not personally dealt with Saccucci but I would bet someone the forum have.   Dennis
#1340 of 3093 Does altered oil change schedule void warranties? by stevehecht Dec 10, 2006 (4:58 pm)
I am thinking of using AmSoil synthetic oil in my new V6 Accord. If I do, that means I won't have to do my oil changes at Honda's recommended intervals because the synthetic oil is changed 1x/year or every 25-35,000 miles depending on the oil selected. I know that choosing a particular brand or viscosity of oil different from Honda's recommendations cannot void the warranty, but what about when your service record shows oil changes every 25k miles instead of every 3750?

Replying to: stevehecht (Dec 10, 2006 4:58 pm) Nevermind, I just did a search for "oil changes" and #1277 answered pretty well. I think I'll call HondaCare myself and try to get a clearer picture.
