Extended Warranties

[Bily Lovec]

What was W4W reason for not paying the claim.....

they said the stuff wasnt covered, I took the policy & high-lighted where it was covered and sent it back to them.

They are still denying it.

I bought mine 7/yr up to 112,000 miles from carmax and it was only 2,700 but there is a $50 deductible so far they have fixed everything down to a tear in the leather that was there before I bought it.

Has anyone here used Warranty Direct?

BTW: I PM'd Slam here, asked him if we can get this stickied.

Good idea to get this stickied. How about synopsizing our experiences with extended warranties to list by company, vehicle, price, coverage, and quality of experience?

Direct Buy Warranty

I am the proud new owner of a 2007 LR3 and I am about to purchase a 5-yr extended warranty from DBW. I foud them on the Internet and they will cover everything except maintenance. Does anyone have experience with this company? Will they pay out? Any other suggestions besides Ford ESC? Mine doesn't qualify.

Thanks,

Did you get your LR from Carnac too?

I would say run away as fast as you can from DBW, a quick google search finds enough info to support this.

also, once again, AVOID warranties4wheels.com, they have enough loopholes in their paperwork to avoid paying almost anything.

OK, I did run form Direct Buy Warranty, but I hope it wasn't a mistake. The coverage was comprehensive and the salesman was talking a great game. It was surprising how they kept bringing the price for my coverage down and even extending the coverage to 7yr and unlimited miles! ALSO, they were going to send me a $500 gas card after 30 days. I was very close to purchasing it but it just didn't feel right. I ended up going with a warranty company that my independent dealer was offering. It was for only 4 yr/ 48,000 and $1000 more but I think it will be better when its time to take it to the shop.

I got burned on that gas card scam by a Hyundai dealer. Sounds like u did the right thing. They would only pay ou 10$ at a time and u had to wait 3-4 weeks to make another gas claim. Boo!
