Extended warranties. Just my 2 cents. They promise the world but SO under deliver in almost every case. I manage a maintenance and repair shop. Have for 20 years with the same company that is 400 locations at current count.

What extended warranty companies don't tell you is many shops don't want to work with them because they all have access to Mitchell, or All Data etc, and know cost on especially dealer parts so they wont let a shop make a dime on the parts. Not 10% even. So a lot of shops don't want to take a job because its just not profitable at all.

In my experience the warranty customer has to shop 5-6 places to find a place that will take the job if they are really slow.

I guess I'm just old school. Most true "defects" are going to happen within 3/36.

The warranties that used car buyers get screwed on are the worst.

Rant off lol
