So you want to pay a $100 deductible every time something needs fixing??? Why not just go for the 8yr/120k mi $0 deductible Honda Care from one of the online Honda dealers? Good at any Honda dealer, also gives Honda parts, has extra perks. You can transfer to new private party owner (if you want to sell the car on your own) for a small fee ($50 I think) or you can get a prorated refund if you want to cancel after 60 days

For online dealer links look a few posts back

I resisted, then purchased it for the "employee discount" price of $1,338 -- only because I can cancel within 60 days. Suggestions?? Thanks!
 
I would get a quote from one of the discount online Honda dealers such as:

and compare the price to what you got. They usually offer $0 deductible policies for a little more which is highly superior to the $100 deductibles. Plus you can also get the roadside assistance as well.

These are the same quotes I got. Did you end up buying this plan?

#3663 of 3776 When to buy? by hqly2001

Apr 14, 2012 (3:01 am)

If i wait untiil near 6 k to buy, will the contract be as of that date or will it be back dated as of the purchase date or in service date?
 
It might take me a year to reach 6k, so im wondering if. Can buy i a year later for 9 yrs total coverage.

If you buy before 6K it will be backdated to the date of the car purchase. If you buy after 6K it will start the date you buy the contract. HOWEVER, they won't sell you an 8 year after 6K. It appears the most they will sell after 6K is a 6 year, 120K miles for a 2012 and a 5 year/120K for a 2011. So for the maximum 8 year time, you'll want to buy before 6K.

#3665 of 3776 What is Sentinel? Should I add it? by drewskidouble

Apr 14, 2012 (11:40 pm)

Thanks in advance for everyone's contribution and the information about Honda Care, this helped me dodge a HUGE bullet when I purchase my 2012 Odyssey EX-L w/RES last week. As recommended, I went ahead and emailed the top three warranty dealers and got a return quote of $1295 (Saccucci/Bernardi) and $1270 from Hyannis.
 
BUT now I am also interested in the Sentinel Service. My current understanding is that it includes tire coverage, free oils changes as recommended by the vehicle maintenance minder, BUT I am confused about how it ties into Honda Care.
 
I know there are two types:
    Honda Care Sentinel 3/45. This premier plan provides both oil change and extensive component coverage for three years or 45,000 miles.
    Honda Care Sentinel Services™: This plan covers oil changes according to your vehicle’s Maintenance Minder.
 
Am I correct in thinking that the 2nd option, Sentinel Services, is bought in conjunction with a Honda Care plan, while the 1st option, Sentinel 3/45, is the oil change plan fused together with the shortest 3 year/45k honda care plan?
 
Also does anyone have an experience on how much each of these services typically run so I get a baseline for the price I should be hunting for.

Prepaid maintenance is usually a waste -- the first few years you'll just need oil changes, tire rotations, and air+cabin filters
 
The filters are easy, you can buy them and do them on your own -- look for Youtube videos if you don't know how
 
The oil changes -- you can do it on your own if you know how to or else just look at Honda dealer websites in your area to see what kind of coupons they have (I'm in Chicago and theres a dealer who always has online coupons so reg oil changes are <$20 & full syn oil is $35-$40) or look at independent shops to see how much they charge. For my 2011 Civic I went to the dealer for the first 2 oil changes just b/c it was cheap, but now I'm going to change my own oil since I picked up a bunch of cheap/free after rebate oil in the past couple months so it'll last me the next ~2 yrs. I'll go back to the dealer for an oil change around 30k-34k miles before my warranty is up so I can have them check the rest of the car and fix it if they find something

#3667 of 3776 Honda car vs Zurich extened warranty 8yr/120k by zenturyz

May 07, 2012 (9:14 am)

Bought a certified used 2008 Honda odyssey.
but yeah had 80k miles on it. which is when we see things falling apart.
 
I thought I got a good deal with the Extended warranty. It looks like I might have paid a li'l more.
The deal was supposed to be for Hondacar 120k miles.
 
when I got the papers to sign it was for Zurich.
 
Paid $1200 for 8 yr/120k mile $0 deductibl.
 
I got 60- more days to decide and cancel.
 
Please let me know if I got a good deal?
 
I was quoted $1295 for Honda care which was comparable to Zurich.

I would pay a little extra for the Honda. My Honda warranty works great. When the dealership sees that my vehicle has it, they're happy to fix whatever comes up. It's in their best interest because it's more money for them.
