Edmunds article: Third-Party Extended Warranty Scams
|
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.

So buy only a manuf. backed ext. warr.

Replying to: bekins2 (Sep 26, 2009 6:41 pm) Well, the Lacrosse has excellent reliability ratings. So, I wouldn't worry about buying an extended warranty. If you absolutely have to have one, try to get one through G.M/your dealership. Most people here suggest staying away from aftermarket/3rd party warranties.
