#84 of 109 that's me, dumb as a box o' rocks... by mitzij Aug 08, 2007 (6:16 am)
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.
#85 of 109 Does any1 know a good, Dependable Extended Warranty provider? by ralphcast Dec 07, 2007 (7:59 pm)
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?

Replying to: ralphcast (Dec 07, 2007 7:59 pm) Stay away from those companies, they are Mechanical Breakdown only. That means that the part has to break completely to be covered, and trust me I was a manager for a claims department of a company that was the same and it makes a HUGE difference. Try warranty direct, not only do they cover wear and tear, they are the warranty company so you get real answers from the people that have to back it up. Add to that their reputation in the industry and the fact they sell directly thru dealers, you can't go wrong. be sure NOT to buy on price, you know the saying "you get what you pay for." well if you base a purchase on price, that can be very true!
#87 of 109 Royal Administrations Contract Is "Exclusionary Coverage" by ralphcast Dec 07, 2007 (8:25 pm)
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....

Replying to: ralphcast (Dec 07, 2007 7:59 pm) What kind of quotes have you been getting for the Factory plan on the Lincoln?
#89 of 109 I Have 2 different quotes 4 the Lincoln by ralphcast Dec 08, 2007 (8:26 pm)
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?

Replying to: ralphcast (Dec 08, 2007 8:26 pm) I am not familiar with either of those companies but if you would like to shoot an email to the address in my profile with the particulars on the Lincoln (VIN, Miles, and your time/mileage requirements) I could give you some ideas on a Factory Plan. May not be less expensive then what you are looking at but you never know. Replies to this message: ralphcast (Dec 09, 2007 4:09 pm) joel0622 (Dec 10, 2007 10:14 am)

Replying to: joel0622 (Dec 09, 2007 8:32 am) Well I wouldnt want 2 give my VIN but Its a 2005 Lincoln Navigator with about 50k on the odometer. I would like 2 get the most coverage and longest term available. I was going 2 trade it in but my son really likes it and I think I'm going 2 let him have it.

Replying to: ralphcast (Dec 09, 2007 4:09 pm) If you are getting warranty quotes with out supplying the VIN # be very careful. Leaves allot of room for mistakes.   Good luck in your search
