#1336 of 3113 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 3113 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.
#1342 of 3113 FYI: Must buy New Car EW by 6000 miles by stevehecht Dec 11, 2006 (5:27 pm)
I just learned this today, and thought I would pass it on. After 6000 miles the rates start going up since it is not considered "new" anymore.
#1343 of 3113 2007 Odyssey Warranty by ag2006 Dec 12, 2006 (1:09 pm)
Folks on the forum,   Ten days back I bought a 2007 Odyssey (in CA state) and fell for HC warranty offered by dealer.   Now I do know that I have 60 days to get full refund. My question is - is it easy to cancel the current HC warranty coverage (I haven't even received HC warranty package yet) and instead buy it from other good warranty sources discussed on this forum ?   Is it possible to do so ? From what I have read on this forum, even though I am based in CA, I can buy HC from online sources mentioned on the forum. Is my understanding right ?   Please respond   Thanks   AGC Replies to this message: qbrozen (Dec 12, 2006 1:15 pm) ag2006 (Dec 12, 2006 1:32 pm) dwynne (Dec 12, 2006 6:32 pm) dwynne (Dec 12, 2006 6:27 pm)

Replying to: ag2006 (Dec 12, 2006 1:09 pm) Before worrying about all of that, why not just print out the prices you see online and go back to your dealer to ask for a pricematch? Let them know that you will be cancelling if they won't give you a similar price you can get elsewhere. If it were me, I'd take it from that dealer even if it was within $100 just so I didn't have to go through all the hassle and paperwork of cancelling and rebuying elsewhere.

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 12, 2006 1:15 pm) Thanks for the suggestion qbrozen. I will certainly try this option.   Coming back to questions I posed, is it possible to do all that ?   Another additional question - 8 years quotes - these begun from date car/van was purchased or form the date warranty was purchased ?   Thanks again   AG Replies to this message: dwynne (Dec 12, 2006 6:32 pm)
