[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16687584, member: 21786"] MOST extended warranties are a scam. I deal with them on the daily and I can count on one hand how many have been good to work with and actually follow normal industry standards. By far the best I have used was Zurich, which if you don't know, Zurich owns Farmers Insurance so they are probably the biggest out there, but I rarely ever get warranties from them. I'm working a claim right now through The Mechanic warranty company. Thought they were going to be legit but I was wrong. They have dragged out the claim for a month now and their policy is that they never call the customer or the repair facility, you have to call them for any updates and that will land you a 30min minimum hold time no matter when you call. That's bullshit and the first sign I knew they were going to be scammers. On Thursday I left a call back number for them to reach out to me (this was the 3rd time I tried to leave a call back, the first two times they never called) and about an hour later a call comes through and I see it is their number, but before I could even pick up the phone the person on the other line hung up. Dishonest insurance companies and adjusters do this all the time. They say they called or have been calling and that no one is answering. This claim has got to the point where the dealer called me and told me to send them the estimate because they are likely going to just cover the costs for the customer since the warranty company is not doing anything to help the customer who paid $4100 for the highest Platinum plan. You have to really do your homework with these companies and you can't always trust that a good dealer is going to carry a legit warranty company. The big one going around, Car Shield, is trash also.
