Replying to: mitzij (Aug 07, 2007 8:52 am) I have called great lakes asking about prices for their policy and they told me straight out that they don't sell to the public, and that I had to go through a dealer or agent. I did read my contract and they don't even use a credit card to pay claims. Not to mention that on an earlier posting you said you bought a warranty through someone else and now your saying that you have a great lakes policy.. which is it? I have spoke with my dealership as well, and they have worked with great lakes on claims many times and don't have any problems with them at all. |

I never said I bought a vehicle service contract from anyone. The last time I blew my money on a service contract was when I was 18 and bought a CD player. It was a waste of $50. I have dealt with Great Lakes in my capacity as a service advisor at a car dealership. They are a royal pain in the you-know-what. I have read their contract because customers have given me copies of their contracts so that I can contact Great Lakes and handle their claims for them. It's the least consumer-beneficial one I've read to date. Now that I think about it, the last few have been 'we need to send you a check' irritations. So, you're right, they no longer do credit cards. Which is worse, because then, we have to wait a couple of weeks to get paid, as opposed to most service contracts paying within a day or two via credit card. It's amazing the difference between what a salesman will tell you about service contracts and what a service department will. If they're in bed with Great Lakes, don't expect an honest answer from either. Their website sure looks like they're willing to sell to the public. I won't post a link because I don't want to accidentally advertise for them. |

Im looking 2 get warranties 4 2 vehicles... My wife's Acura and My Lincoln, Ive done some research and am finding that most of these warranties arent what they claim 2 be... Ive always had my cars covered by the manufacturer or Dealer. I wasnt 2 happy when the Dealer told me he np longer sells the Warranties 4 Ultimate Warranty Co.? I found out that they R Bankrupt or Something...SERIOUS, Well, I had a good experience with them no matter what kind of trouble they are in now and need 2 replace them with something equally as good. Ive been quoted with NationWide/US, Great Lakes and Royal Administrations. Does anyone have any experience with them? Thanks

| I am well aware of the coverage because I have been informed by the brokers who offered all 3 companies. I have seen the contracts and am VERY interested in obtaining the "Exclusionary Coverage" by Royal OEM. It lists out what is NOT covered, So if its not listed ITS COVERED.... | |

Well, 4 the Lincoln I have been offered Great Lakes Titanium Advantage and Royal Administrations "PVP" Premier... Why do you ask? Do you have any experience with the warranty game?
