Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

Has anyone had any experience with "WarrantyDirect" or any other aftermarket
auto warranty companies?

Re: Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

I do some work on cars that have aftermarket extended warrantties:

For the most part, most pay, but only book time, as most shops charge, but
they never pay the shop's labor rate. They pay low ball labor rates, and
would rather install used than overhaul an assembly.

Other than that, they are regulated by the state insurance commission of
your state. If they play, you call the state insurance commission, and they
will put them in line.

I hope this helps?

If you have a more specific question, please do not hesitate to post it
here.

Re: Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

What happens when they go out of business the day your transmission fails.
If you are going to get an extended warranty get it from the manufacturer.
Even if a 3rd party warranty company has to put up a bond with the state
insurance regulator (may not be true in every state) it probably won't cover
all claims. One went out of business in NC a while back and it was a mess
for customers.

I've had Warranty Direct for three and a half years and they paid $75
with no problems for rental car (during a factory warranty repair) and
also paid the regular rate of the Ford Dealer to rebuild the
differential ($860). They didn't pay for the new fluid and gasket,
about $50. I paid around $1300 for the warranty and have recovered
about $1000. It runs another 3.5 years or 100K miles.

Bought Mazda pickup (new) which came with "aftermarket", i.e.
non-Mazda warranty. Warranty company went out of business before end
of warranty.
Beware - these are scams to avoid warranty claims.
