Replying to: lasa (Mar 22, 2006 11:54 am) Depending on what the problem/repair is, you might get an independent shop to do the repair for less that the 1/2 the dealer repair that they seem to be offering. If not, them covering half or splitting it with you might be a reasonable offer. The big mistake was purchasing a 3rd party warranty. If you had purchased a GMPP warranty, then GM would still be on the hook. I guess some dealers push the 3rd party warranties because they get a better commission on them than the factory warranties.... Not a reason for any consumer to buy them, at least in my opinion. Sorry for your problem, but you have probably learned and expensive lesson. |

A bit confused here. I was googling on extend warranties and came up with 1Source Auto Warranty on Edmunds's website. Of course that caught my attention because of Edmuns reputation. On edmunds.com , I could not figure out why the 1Source Auto Warranty quiting system would not let you put in a car newer than 2002 nor does it have a website that I could find. So, I searched the forum on people's opinion of 1Source Auto Warranty and found out that 1Source Auto Warranty apparantly went out of business. So whats the scoop - why is a reuputable website like Edmunds doing with an out of business warranty company? Also, this now makes me question any reviews I may have read on warranty companies done on Edmunds so can anyone point me to a reputable warranty website for my use 2005 Chevy Colorado? I alrady checked GMPP and all I can say is WOW, they are really expensive. Too expensive for me. Thanks for any info anyone can provide

I haven't found any unbiased reviews of service contract companies on the web. I've spent alot of time looking. There are a blue-million sites advertising assorted companies, but no unbiased ones. They are all ruled by the almighty dollar. Buying a service contract is a crapshoot. Either you have enough claims paid to come out ahead, or you have wasted your money. You might get 'lucky' and have multiple problems with your 'GMC Colorado' and they'll all be covered. Or your might get stonewalled at every claim. Or the company might file bankruptcy. Or you wreck your truck and don't need the contract anymore. Or you might actually have a good truck and never need to file a claim. |
