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.

Re: Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

Save your money!! Historically only about ONE PERCENT of all
manufactures extended service plans, ever pay out more than
the cost of the plan and its deductibles. If it were me I would
put the price of the warranty in an interest bearing bank
account. If you have a covered repair draw the repair cost, less
what the deductible would have had to pay, to pay for the repair.
The odds are you will come out way ahead. IF you believe you
will beat the odds, then buy one sold by the manufacture. Few
dealers or repair shops will honour after market warrantees
because of their many restrictions. You have to pay the bill,
then seek reimbursement from the warranty seller.

Re: Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

Extremely good advice:

Except for the payment!

Most paid before we had the car finished.

Some were PIS'a, but the State Insurance Commission of Pennsylvania oversees
the Extended Warranty Companies, and licenses the sellers, mostly the used
car dealers not affiliated with a car company for the aftermarket brands.

Call the State Insurance Commission, send the complaint with a copy to the
warranty company. See how fast they resolve it.

Re: Warranty Direct or other warranties
 

I believe you missed the point of my post. 'Historically only
about ONE PERCENT of all manufactures extended service plans,
ever pay out more than the cost of the plan and its
deductibles.' I was referring to the fact that even the best of
warranties from manufactures paying just claims are not a good
investment. On average 99% never pay out what they COST, let
alone more than they cost. Believing one will save money buying
an extended warranty is a fallacy.
