Replying to: eddie_r (May 21, 2008 8:07 am) You don't need to talk to "Randy" at Midwest Toyota in Hutchinson, Kansas. In fact in all the calls I have made to them, I have never spoken to anyone named Randy, but I have spoken to Mark, Jerry and another guy, whose name escapes me right now. It doesn't really matter which one you talk to, they will all give you the same information, and they are all very helpful. When you call, just ask for someone who can help you with an extended warranty. They sell so many of them, the receptionist will know right away who to connect you with. Also, try to call them later in the day, rather than in the morning or early afternoon. They are less busy then and it may be easier to get someone on the phone right away. Otherwise, leave a VM and someone will get back to you within 24 hours usually. If you're not sure you have the right phone number (and since the HOST is cracking down on things like phone numbers in these postings -- something that makes no sense to me when it is a business number and free advertising for them. How can that be an invasion of privacy?!  ), just google Midwest Superstore Hutchinson, and you will find their 800 number on the homepage. (I'd say google Midwest Toyota Hutchinson, but I couldn't find the 800 number on that site.)

Chris, I am currently in the process of researching the best extended warranty for my 2007 TCH, which runs out of factory warranty in a few months. If you have compared your offerings to Mid West Toyota, Warranty Direct & Nation Warranty Corp., and find that you are competitive, I am willing to consider you in the mix - hence, not adverse to dealing via the net. Cheap isn't always best, from what I have found so far, and "reasonable" or "competitively priced" is much more attractive verbage to both the informed and uninformed. I am finding that the bottom line is not only cost, but thoroughness of coverage offered. Dan |

From what I've heard from the guys at Midwest Toyota, Hutchinson, Kansas, there is a big market for extended warranties from Toyota, at prices much lower than the average dealer is selling them for. Apparently, they sell zillions of them and it is mostly through "word-of-mouth" and on forums like this one. If you read back through the postings, you will find prices people have paid for their Toyota warranties at Midwest. And when you're comparing the cost of the various Toyota warranties, the price is the only difference, so the cheapest price is the best price. Personally, I would be more leery buying a third party warranty from someone online, even if it was cheaper than the Toyota product. I think the idea of selling them on a special website is probably a good one, but I think that forums like this work because it is consumers sharing information with other consumers and I don't think anybody wants it to turn into ads.

The forums cannot be used to buy or sell anything so please don't start any transactions here. Any postings along those lines will have to be removed, so I thought a little advance warning might be in order!

Well, apparently some of the posts have been removed by the Host because they had too much information on them (phone numbers), so some of the ones that had prices are no longer available. I already bought my warranty from Midwest Toyota for my new 2008 Camry Hybrid, and I got the Platinum 7/75, 0% ded. for $619. I would have purchased the 7/100 for $964, but I only drive about 10K a year, so I didn't need the extra miles. I hope that helps some. |

Has anyone bought a prepaid maintenance plan? I did here is the info on what I received in the mail. 1. The Camry hybrid does not require much - oil change and tire rotation - lube of key chassis parts ( not sure what that means ) 19 point inspection - 11 times / every 5000 miles 2. At 15K and 45K clean cabin air filter 3. At 30K replace cabin air filter, engine air filter, inspect ball joints, brakes lines hoses etc. note inspect, says nothing about replace.... Seems like they do a bunch of inspections. For $1100, or $100 per visit. Is this a so so deal even at SF Bay Area prices? |
