| Thanks - in reading more on this forum, I have gone ahead and cancelled the service contract I purchased and will be recieving a full refund credited to my loan - I would rather use already established savings to pay for any car repairs that might come up then take a chance with this contract that would probably wind up being more of a headache anyways. Thanks for your advice. | |

This is a an article about US Fidelis and a class action suit filed against them. They are thieves.

I have noted some (to me) extremely disparaging posts re this firm. My very recent experience has been a very positive one. On a 2001 VW Cabrio both front window regulators had broken w/in a month, and there were two semi-expensive repairs required to get the Check Engine Light to stay reset. To make it short the bill at an independent was $ 1720. It was paid without a whimper. The repair shop handled all the calls, I paid him, and my Warranty Direct check arrived in about a week. The only oddity was that they did not pay the Florida Sales Tax, but this was disclosed early on in the process.

Replying to: vanalder (Sep 27, 2009 3:42 am) So you had warranty coverage on an 8 year old,almost 9 year old car ? How many miles did your VW have? Highly unusual to have any warranty coverage on an 8yr/9yr old car unless its a Hyundai/Kia 10yr/100k mile Powertrain warranty.And how much and when did you pay for the Warranty Direct warranty? Thanks.

Replying to: deltheking (Sep 27, 2009 9:50 am) As suggested here before,always always buy an original manufacturer backed Extended warr.Even after GM and Chrysler went bankrupt,the govt. backed their warr.Will it ever happen with an aftermarket warr??Hell,never.. So buy only a manuf. backed ext. warr.
