#2658 of 2873 dealer warranty by mitzij Apr 17, 2009 (12:28 pm)
Most dealers sell aftermarket service contracts, as well as Manufacturer-backed plans. You'll notice those of us here who recommend mf-backed plans call them 'manufacturer-backed', not 'dealer'. 'Dealer warranty' is a bigger misnomer than 'extended warranty' in my book. Some dealerships sell service contracts that are only good at their shop, and are backed only by the owner of the 'ship.

Replying to: rnixon (Apr 17, 2009 11:34 am) Dude,, I am neither dishonest and I do know what I am talking. I have owned Toyota,Honda,Saturn,Dodge,Nissan cars ,,so I know quite a lot about cars .My profession is totally different from the car industry,,,unlike you .Just that cars have been a childhood hobby. Also soliciting business on this forum is illegal,,so please stop doing it Again folks here will tell u-- 3rd party warranties are junk,,,manuf. warr. are the best.You can use them at any dealer in US. Folks who visit these forums have genuine concerns about their cars and they are not brokers like u who come and spam these boards. Again ,,,folks here will tell u,, all 3rd party warranties are junk,crap,worthless-- and Original factory manuf . warr is always the best.Original is original,,duplicate is duplicate!!

You are clearly violating the terms of service by soliciting for business. If you don't see that, then you need help. I will be surprised if you are not banned by tomorrow morning.

#2662 of 2873 Why I will go with Geico Extended Warranty by mitchflorida Apr 18, 2009 (7:20 am)
It only costs $66 a year, covers everything except wear and tear, and has a $250 deductable. You can also wait until the car is one year old to purchase the coverage. I live in Florida, so it is impossible to get a really low rate on the Internet for a Honda factory warranty, you have to buy from a florida dealership, not out of state. The deductable is pretty high, but I dont expect to be using it except for emergencies anyway, Honda usually is pretty reliable. Has anyone filed a claim with Geico yet?

Replying to: mitchflorida (Apr 18, 2009 7:20 am) Geico only covers new cars -- you have to be the 1st owner of the car,bought new and I think within 6 months. So not an option for used cars. I am not sure of their coverage but I think it has lots of exclusions. You can get Honda ext.original factory warr. for a decent price online-- search google or search Honda forums online. My advice-- even if little higher,,go with Honda factory warr.Just MHO.

Replying to: mitzij (Apr 17, 2009 12:28 pm) Manufacturer backed in many cases, with a couple of exceptions, usually means manufacturer sponsored. Many manufacturers contract with other warranty companies to do their warranties. Those of you working in dealerships should know that if you've been doing this a while.

Replying to: deltheking (Apr 17, 2009 12:51 pm) So you finally let everyone know you're not in the car business. Well I am and I ACTUALLY know how well warranties pay and who pays, because I ACTUALLY work in that business. I ACTUALLY know that third parties pay dealers more and that we in the management make out better in the long run with aftermarkets. Not only because we get paid more but make more off of them. Just because you read and have personal experience makes you no more an expert in this business, that having the ability to eat and really knowing what good food, and calling yourself a culinary expert! I know a lot about a lot of things but I keep my expert advise to the industry I live in 6 days a week.

Replying to: deltheking (Apr 17, 2009 12:51 pm) Oh, and another thing, aftermarket warranties can generally be used anywhere there's a certified mechanic, not JUST that particular car lines dealer. I have had several customers in the last eleven years call me from the middle of nowhere and broken down. The warranty company allowed an uncertified mechanic to fix cars to get these people taken care of, because it had to be done, and two of those people were in Alaska, each over 200 miles from the nearest certified mechanic. So don't tell people the MF backed warranties are the only way to go. It clearly is not, Mr I don't work in the car industry but I'm going to talk like an expert.
