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. |

HI, I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania I just found out that Smart choice 2000 is out of business, I bought my used car in march 2003 and I also purchased the warranty. SO I want to know when did they go out of business what year and date can somebody help me? I have a problem with my car now in 2006 and nobody wants to help me to pay the repair. I talked to my dealership that sold me the car and he said to me that it is not his fault the smart choice got my money not THE DEALERSHIP. I do not know what to do. I mean this is not fair WE all paid for it. CAn anyone help me I do not know what to do next, should I take legal action? Thank you Borjana

Replying to: tricia72 (Jun 09, 2006 8:08 am) Well its not ok....but it happens alot more than it should with aftermarket warranties. when considering your next extended warranty make sure it backed by an auto manufacturer and not some company that has no incentive to keep you as a happy customer. |

There is a class action suit involving an extended warranty under several names. Mine happens to be Smart Choice. I was contacted by lawyers tracking my contract through a purchase in Las Vegas NV and my relocation to New Mexico years ago. Perhaps all are located through their vehicle registration for updates on addresses of those who purchased such extended warranties. My advice is to do a search on the name of your extended warranty and “lawsuit” to find information regarding your State in which it was purchased. An example of the form to be filed on my behalf, here is the link: http://www.gilardi.com/rocker/php/claim_edit.php?session_id=1320245b15be8f36004.- 24335537 Again, this is a copy of the Las Vegas NV case. There may be justice after all.
