Unless under warranty, I can almost see that, but not for anything else. an hour, come on now. I got a quote once for a heater core change in my 1996 Blazer, they said 9 hours and would come to almost ,000 for parts and labor. I bought a manual and heater core at Auto-Zone for and changed it myself in less than 3 hours. No special tools required and I never did one before.

I am looking to extend my warranty on my auto. The dealership is much more expensive than what I could get online, but how do you know who is reputable? Can someone reccomend a good one?

Ok, I think I was basically "talked into" buying an extended auto warranty. It’s 7 yrs/100,000 Platinum Coverage with a {content} deductible. It’s supposed to cover the engine, transmission, electrical, a/c, lots of stuff. It cost ,560 and was added into the amount I financed.

I was thinking about canceling but the dealer probably would not be very helpful.

So, now that I have this warranty, do you think it’s worth it anyway?

One bright spot is that in the event that I NEVER have to use this warranty, I get my 00 back. Of course, that’s after I pay interest on it! Still, it’s something.

What do you all think? Did I make a bad deal?

Needless to say, with people like myself hanging onto my car longer than normal, in fact, on average, I researched that people are now keeping their vehicles for average of 9.2 years, which is my profile. Looking at the new car market dropping like a rock, I can see this to be true.

My question is, how many people who have purchased an extended warranty have benefited from having done so? I have been researching the industry, and I can see that online warranty companies are more cost effective than shopping at car dealers, so given the fact I am now educated enough to have defined which extended auto warranty would suit my driving needs, now I would like a little feedback from others who have benefited from their extended warranties.

Knowing there is a huge profit in extended warranties purchased retail at the auto dealers, never mind AAA which I am a member of, I starting reseaching online warranty companies and got quotes for what I was looking for. What I found was a company which allowed you to become a free distributor and access to discount wholesale extended warranties for less than all the others, even my AAA quote.

Sadly, most don’t trust the car dealers, so I asked myself, who can you trust in the auto industry? Well, I figured it out, I only trust myself, so I became a free distributor with Warranties-For-Less and will purchase my warranty from myself. But I wanted some feedback first on how others benefited from their decision. Peace of mind and protection from unexpected repair bills which can break anyone’s budget these days are my primary reasons for wanting a warranty, what was your reasons?

Thanks, Mike
