#2706 of 2873 Re: 3rd party aftermarket warranty is junk,,,Factory warranty is Best [rnixon] by mitzij Apr 20, 2009 (11:29 am)
Replying to: rnixon (Apr 20, 2009 10:59 am) Most good aftermarket companies mirror factory coverage almost verbatim.   No. They don't. Their exclusions lists are longer, and the loopholes are bigger.    And I have seen very few that don't pay Chilton rates. To continually tell people different is irresponsible since it's just not true. Every company I have personally signed to a dealer has had no problems paying chilton rates.   That's not what my post said. Reread it.   Every agent of an aftermarket company has to deal with headache claims, that's part of their job. Anytime I've had trouble at, we call the agent and tell him to fix it, if he didn't fix it (and he always has) he wouldn't be there. Of course those are legitimate claims, but he's also made sure we got a lot paid that weren't necessarily valid claims. That's called good will claims, and that happens a lot, it rarely happens with factory because they are more cut and dry on issues like that.  Next you'll tell us SCCs are philanthropic organizations with no concern for profit.

Replying to: navigator808 (Apr 20, 2009 11:27 am) Considering the state of Mexico at the moment-I'd be surprised if there are any SCCs in the US that would be willing to cross the border.   Good luck in Mexico. Please come back in one piece.

Replying to: navigator808 (Apr 20, 2009 11:27 am) Are u temporarily driving in Mexico or permanently taking your vehicle there ? As far as I know,,,no ext warr. company will cover outside of USA. If what u are asking about is auto insurance when driving in Mexico,,that is a totally different issue.Quite a few company companies provide insurance while in Mexico.

Replying to: navigator808 (Apr 20, 2009 11:27 am) No one will reliably cover your car in Mexico, the propensity for fraud is too great.

How do you feel about AAA (Triple A) extended warranty?

Replying to: bubsy1 (Apr 19, 2009 4:30 pm) You might want to check with dealer, I know some dealers that offer walkaway insurance, regardless of the manufacturer. When a manufacturer does it, they are contracting with one of the companies that offer this protection. They are one of the third party providers that some on here seem to loathe so much. Yet those companies are the innovative ones, that particular type of insurance originated in canada and has been up there for years. Just read fine print, it's decent protection, but with everything else just follow the rules.
