Once you have a Honda Care, they display your VIN number in the nationwide database that shows you have the coverage. So no matter what dealership you go to for service, they immediately know. Furthermore, the repair shop has every incentive, to make sure that I get all warranty repairs that I need, because they get paid by Honda Care for all of their charges. They have NO incentive not to get you your repairs. They make money on every legitimate repair. I don't even sign any additional paperwork or have to file any claims. The dealership does it all. You're under the misguided impression that somebody is there thinking up excuses as to why they can't pay. It works exactly the opposite of that. They scour my car to make sure that I have every repair I need. Top notch service.

I checked Saccucci and Hyannis and both are not selling to California right now. Does anybody know of any way for us who live in California to get the cheap warranty price without slugging it out with the dealer?

| You are correct and I had not considered more than one vehicle at a time. But we would still need to know aspesisteve 's age and length of ownership of his 5 Honda's. The last is the real key. Has he owned any long enough to get into the zone where mechanical breakdowns occur even with a good car. Also a reply to my query if any were leases. While CR maybe real owners in the real world, it is also an overview of EW's by all manufacturers not just Honda and those sold at retail prices. The excerpts from the Edmunds forum , maintenance and repair Honda Accord 2003-2007 were also real world and real people. | |

Replying to: duke23 (Jun 12, 2008 7:39 pm) This happened in late March. See post 2269 for more information. The only way I know for Californians to get around this, is if they have a second home in another state, they can order the warranty there, and once you own the warranty, Honda will honor it at any dealership. |

As a service advisor at a Chevy store, I can safely say that the vast majority of people who come through here with service contracts see little return of their 'investment'. A relative handfull have had enough claims to merit the cost of a contract. The evil engine or transmission replacement that F&I people scare customers with (yes, it's a scare tactic) is rare, usually caused by poor maintenance rather than a defect. I consider 'peace of mind' to be of little value when you're handing your power over to someone else. I don't want anyone else to decide how my car gets fixed, when, where, or with what parts. With a manufacturer-backed contract, there is less worry that shortcuts will be taken, but there is still that chance. That does not give me peace of mind, it gives me a headache. |
