Right, with a 3rd party warranty nobody will honor it. My nephew just
had this problem with a extended warranty he bought on a Chevy Blazer.
The Chevy dealer near his home refused to honor it as it wasn't a Chevy
warranty. He had to drive 50 miles to the dealer where he bought the
vehicle and the warranty.

The last extended warranty I had was on my Astro van through Allstate.
I'd take it somewhere to be serviced and the warranty company would
provide the dealer with a credit card number. Never had a problem.

I got my Hyundai Factory extended warranty in 2002 for $1050 , the dealer
added in his lifetime lof's .....I have been every 3 months now and figure I
have
ate up half of the price so far.

Plan on keeping it for the 10 years , my wife has 7200k for 3 1/2 years , still
runs like new.
Retired.
If it ain't broke I don't fix it !

Waste of money. You'd be better off putting that $1k towards paying off
your car faster or putting it in the bank towards future repairs if
you're that worried. You might never have a problem & then the money
will still be available unlike if you buy the warranty. 5yr/60k bumper
to bumper & 10yr/100k powertrain is better than what most other car
companies offer anyways. The extended warranty makes even less sense if
you get rid of your car around the 5 or 6 year mark. Course most people
will probably exceed 100k before they keep the car 10 years.

our 2001 accent developed noisy lifters
at around the end of the original warranty.
foretunately this car was purchased w/a extended bumper to bumper
warranty to cover the veh for 10/100k.
the dealer still tried to weasel out of the free repair by stating
mobil 1 oil was insufficient for hyundai engines. also the dealer
questioned our maintainance of the car. showing our receipts etc
silenced him.
the dealers try to bully customers into having maint performed only
by them and then double dipping by charging the factory
and customer for work performed.

why wouldn't you change the filter and trans fluid at the recommended
mileage?(30k?)
its a simple and inexpensive procedure for a do it yourselfer. bought
our fluid and filter from the dealer using a discount coupon they mailed
to us.
also,its cheap insurance to protect your investment and one less
excuse for the dealer to blame you should you actually develop trans
probs.
then he bills you a small amount to show he's a nice guy while also
billing the factory for actual work.
our highway mileage is a consistant 45-50mpg city is about 27mpg
we intend to keep our accent the full10years.
