Does anyone have extended warranty policies on their cars?

[Daniela1982]

Have you ever had to use it, and if you did, what were the results? I would say avoid Car Shield. I have always been skeptical of these companies so never bought one. You would have to have some catastrophic thing happen to your drive train in order to make it worth the cost. But that's just my opinion, and this car repair shops too.

I do have it through Millennium. I've had to use it 4 times. 3rd time was the only time I felt like it wasn't needed. I have a $200 deductible. My first instance, my transmission started to jump between 1st and 2nd, and 2nd and 3rd. On the way to drop it off for this issue, it gave out and my heating and cooling system was shot. Got it fixed, dealer called, told me it was ready for pick up. Next day they called to say that the transmission issue was not fixed. At this point I have not had my vehicle for a week. The after market warranty did cover both of these. When all was said and done, I didn't have for my vehicle for about a month. The total bill was approximately $12,000. I paid $200 for my deductible.

Most recent is when I accelerate, there is a shake right around 20mph. Took it in, broken tire rod. Only paid my deductible again. Of course that wasn't the issue. Taking it in this weekend to get the motor mounts and transmission mounts fixed. You guessed it, I'm only paying my deductible. I'd say it's paid for itself by now.

You should also have been reimbursed for a car rental for a month.

The dealer gave me a loaner.

[Daniela1982]

That works too.

[Paulychicagoluv]

My plan only covers me to like 5 days or something close to that for a rental, and only $50 a day

in Mexico, yes...

the USA, no...

[Daniela1982]

In Mexico you don't need an extended warranty, you need theft insurance.

[NathanDavis]

life insurance... (KnockingOnWood)

[Massageman]

No extended warranties on ANYthing!

[Daniela1982]

Not even your walker?

I repair it myself. Seriously, I only needed to drag it out when my gout flared up a bit. Compared to some of the people at church, I'm not in such bad shape considering I'm > 70.

No way extended warranty is for suckers

All my cars are from 1980's , so no

[Daniela1982]

Surprised they are still running.

[888theGreat]

I keep them up. two from 1987, and one 1989. Not all of us can afford a Dodge with 800 horses. So we will use your car when we go to the zoo. lol

[888theGreat]

Just realized they are all older than you but one.

[Daniela1982]

Are you sure you don't have one older than YOU? 🤔

[888theGreat]

Need me to change your oil?

[888theGreat]

I never owned a model T Ford or horse and buggy
