    The agent went over everything on my vehicle, and offered me discounts. I am in the 90 day waiting period. Carchex is available in WA state, whereas I get junk mail from other Vehicle warranty companies, that aren't licenses to do business in WA state. I suggest, people would check this out and see that Carchex is at the top of the list of BBB companies.

    Thank you for your review. We apologize for any frustration related to your denied claim. We will address your claim concerns.

    According to our records, a Silver Level Centennial plan was purchased for your Mercedes Benz on 1/5/2021. The coverage is for 5 Years and 100,000 additional miles. The plan includes a standard waiting period of 30 days and 1000 miles driven before claims can be filed and excludes pre-existing issues.

    On 1/27/2021, CARCHEX received a call from you regarding the process of starting a claim and asking what is covered. You expressed your vehicle was having issues with the AC system. Our representative explained the process and went over the coverage with you.

    On 2/16/2021, the claims administrator received a call from your repair shop asking to replace the AC compressor and the AC Receiver Dryer. During the claims process, the contract administrator received a copy of an invoice from your repair shop showing the vehicle was in the shop for these repairs on 1/27/2021.

    Because your repairs were needed prior to completing the waiting period, these repairs are considered pre-existing and denied for coverage.

    While we understand the frustration with having a denied claim, the claim was denied correctly based on the terms and conditions of the contract.

    If you have any further questions about this claim, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

    In case something happens and knowing the mileage of my truck, I decided to go with Carchex. It was really good dealing with their rep. He explained everything pretty much to me that I was wanting to know about the protection plans. But I thought that I would be able to get any type of protection plan but with the mileage I had, I was just placed in a certain package. That threw me for a loop. So I hope they're good should anything ever go down with my truck.

    The rate on the extended warranty that I got from Carchex was a little bit lower than the one that I initially went with. The first company I went with didn't even send me a confirmation or follow up to make sure I was doing okay after I paid the money. But it was amazing that Carchex did that. They care a little more. The rep I dealt with was great. I had to figure out a lot of stuff while she was on the phone and she was really patient. She allowed me to take my time and figure out everything and then she pretty much took care of everything. I had a pretty good experience with her.

She also sent me a couple of plans for me and she explained them clearly. So, that was really helpful.

    I thought it would just be kind of a prepaid maintenance plan. I did a lot of research into it and found that CARCHEX was recommended on a number of different sites, and the fact that they had what they called a bumper-to-bumper. Because we even found with the other warranty that we had up in Canada on our other car that oil fluids weren't covered if you were doing transmission fix. This one paid more for it, but it covered everything. We had a couple of little things that went wrong that ended up being pricey. They fixed my seat, got to a certain position and it would do whatever. I've had three or four repairs done through them now. They let me take it to where I wanted to, and then the dealership then just called them up and they made the payment directly through to the dealer, and that turned out really well for me.

    I would go in for my standard service, so normal maintenance and repairs is not covered, so standard oil. Transmission oil was the big one for me because it cost me almost $400 for other things underneath my old policy, because they didn't cover fluids and/or the gaskets. There was a problem with the transmission, they fixed the transmission, but the seals and the oil weren't covered. When I went to the CARCHEX one, I found that they had one that was complete. That was great. But normal wear and tear maintenance, batteries, wire, tires, whatever, that's normal. But if they find something that's significant on that vehicle, I would say, "Well, call CARCHEX because that should be covered underneath my warranty." So, they phone CARCHEX, they get it all, and I might have to leave my vehicle there for a couple of days for them to get that straightened away, but that's just a normal process through this.

    It was identified in there that if CARCHEX thinks that the garage is trying to take them, they have inspectors to go out and check on that, or at least phone them up and say, "Hey, send me pictures," and stuff like that that the dealership has to do. They look after themselves as well as me, and make sure that it is something that is really an item that should be covered under warranty and/or should be fixed. And that the value is there.

    I just signed in for another four years. The car is one that we hope to have for a long time. We had my daughter's X3 in the city here, and both dealerships, by the time they were done, they had all this work would be about $6,000 or $7,000 and not worth fixing. Took it to a buddy, we ended up getting it down to 3,200 bucks. I know the priceyness of some of these repairs, especially if you got a valve cover gasket that is leaking. To do valve cover gaskets are $1,500 on a BMW. You just shake your head at it. If I could get that covered under this warranty, it's peace of mind more than anything else. And knowing I've got a standard warranty for four more years and a bumper-to-bumper other than normal maintenance, I was happy with that.

    I bought a car from my mechanic and it's in excellent condition, but the fact that I am a retiree and on a fixed income, I didn't want to face a huge potential repair bill if something went wrong with the car. I googled best car warranty, extended warranty places on the internet. I did three searches, and I liked what I got from Carchex the best. Everything was perfect until I learned at the very end that my deductible was $200 instead of $100. That almost made me pull the plug on it.

    CARCHEX's limited liability was better than everyone else, and I liked the reviews. I worked with an agent and talked to him on the phone. He gave me an example of a policy to share so I could take and compare it against other companies. He was pretty much open and forthcoming about everything. But there's one unresolved issue with the contract. Other than that, I have purchased a few protection plans in the past and they're extremely valuable. It's all of those things that you don't think about that when you need it, that's where they help you out.

    When I called Carchex, the lady that I spoke with was telling me that the majority, if not all the other extended car warranty places will only cover up to the value of the car. They won't cover anything past that. But she said Carchex will cover past that up to the dollar amount for the contract that they gave me. That was what made me agree to accept the contract.

    It's a three-year policy for 60,000 miles. She told me on the phone on a recorded line that the waiting period was 30 days and 500 miles. Whenever they emailed me the contract the next day, it said 30 days, 1,000 miles. I sent her an email and tried to contact her. When I finally got ahold of her, she said, "I was mistaken. That's not accurate." It would also be for a $100 deductible, but the contract showed a $200 deductible. When I finally talked to her, she said the level plan they gave me doesn't have that option with the $200 deductible. I said, "I'm okay with a $200 deductible, but I'm not okay with you telling me about these mileage restrictions. That makes a big difference, part of the agreement that we made.”

    She counteroffered it, tried to change it up again. Again, the mileage came back wrong again, so I contacted her again. I said, "This is the third time. I'm done with this game. I'm under no obligation contract. I don't have to stay with this. This needs to be fixed." This last time, the contract reflects 90 days and 500 miles. I said, "That's ridiculous. You keep increasing the waiting days that I have to wait." Then she told me, "I have to find out for sure, but if you reach 1,000 miles, since now contract is 500 miles, if you reach 1,000 miles before 90 days then the contract will still go into effect." She said she would have to follow up with them and I will have them send me confirmation. That was a week and a half ago and I still haven't heard from them. Now when I'm trying to contact them, I'm not getting any responses. But at the end of the day, she was still nice and courteous.

    Before my plan becomes active, I must wait one month AND 1,000 miles. As I only drive about 300 miles a month, I will loose three to four months coverage on my overall plan. I understand and accept the need for any pre-existing mechanical conditions to be exempted from coverage, but I don’t think it is reasonable to pay for three to four months of coverage that I do not qualify for.

    There was a valid website, like a credit bureau, that led me to CARCHEX. And I punched in online warranties for vehicles that have extremely high miles, and CARCHEX came up in some of the first search results, and then, I selected it. It looked like it was okay. There were a lot of other companies that turned me down because of the mileage on the car. We got a couple of 100,000 miles on it and it's the age of the car, it's a 2008 Altima.

    All the agents were fine. They were pleasant and nice to deal with. The only concern that I have is whether or not CARCHEX is a valid company and a determination as to whether or not they will honor service requests on the vehicle, because I've heard horror stories about warranty programs that don't pay out on repairs on cars, and the mileage on this car is pretty high. My only concern is because of the mileage on the car, whether or not I will have a problem with repairs, not in terms of damage to the car, but primarily things that go wrong. The car is in good condition, it's just got really higher mileage. Everything seems to be going fine.

    CARCHEX gave me 20,000 miles on the car, and they gave me a short time duration, two or three years' time. But it would be enough time to eke along a beater in-between now and the time that I can trade this vehicle on another car. I suppose that it works out. But at the same time, the warranty isn't a five-year warranty, but the silver plan, provided that it comes through on the contract, like if I have a very serious problem with the car, having a $100 deductible with a car with this high mileage is helpful. The roadside assistance is helpful.

    I'm just concerned about there being loopholes in the contract that let you out of major services, and it's structured and built into the fine print. And I go into repair something major, like an axle or a timing chain or maybe the AC unit or the heater isn't working and we're in the dead of winter, and you find a loophole in the contract to get you out of spending the money on the parts and labor to get the car back up and running again. The 30-day wait time is standard among warranty applications. But I haven't really dug into it yet to determine whether or not CARCHEX is shady or if CARCHEX is a valid warranty program that is effective in replacing components and conducting labor on a vehicle with extremely high mileage.

    Thank you for your review. We understand the frustration having an unexpected car repair.

    Based on your review, we reviewed your coverage and claim filed. According to our records, you purchased a Silver level CARCHEX Connect plan for your 2008 Honda Civic. Based on your starting miles of 149,718 miles, the silver level coverage was recommended to cover the major systems including your engine, transmission, transfer case, drive axle, heating and AC system, and electrical system. This plan is also an unlimited mileage plan for higher mileage drivers.

    The coverage is listed component coverage which means if the part is listed on your contract, it is eligible for coverage. Basic maintenance like oil changes and in this case spark plugs are not eligible for coverage.

    I didn't like the price of the other company and they didn't want to negotiate it. CARCHEX gave me one price and I wasn't happy with it and then we negotiated, so I chose them. I like the fact that I don't have to wait six months before I can file a claim. They have a 10-day waiting period and I thought that was a good feature, as opposed to some of the other companies where you'll have to wait months before filing a claim. The representatives were helpful enough and answered my questions. I was looking for more of a comprehensive warranty and they seemed to understand what I needed.

    I'm still waiting to get my contract in the mail. I haven't seen that yet. Also, I'm still not happy with that price. A lot of these cars' extended warranties are overpriced. When you have a vehicle that's only three years old and has little or no mileage on it, the chances of the breakdown aren't the same as a vehicle with 100,000 miles on it. Warranties should be tailored to the vehicle that they're trying to insure. Nonetheless, it was a good experience.

    I filled out the quoting information from two different companies. And then, it’s a very generic application so I got calls from five different companies, and I ended up going with CARCHEX. They were the first ones to call me, and Bill was so informative. Any questions I had, he more than gladly answered them. Bill advised me, whenever I get the ID card and if I have any other questions, just call him at his direct extension number. I told him I appreciated his help. The customer service is good. That’s one of the major reasons why I went with CARCHEX. And compared to every other company that I was getting a call from, I felt CARCHEX gave me the better option.

    Even though the price was a bit cheaper, it was just the fact of how everything was coming about whenever the car needed service, which was one of my major issues. I was looking for something that I will have to pay some deductible or a certain percentage of, which I didn't mind. If something goes out that is a major issue and it's $3,000, I don't wanna put three grand into it. Other companies were, "Yeah, we'll only cover 50, and then you pay the other 50." I said, “Okay. So, you're telling me even if I'm paying as much as what I'm paying with you guys, I'm still gonna end up coming more out of my pocket whenever the engine blows up or something like that? So, if the engine is three grand, I will have to come up with 1,500, and then you guys cover the 1,500.” They were like, “Yeah. That’s it.” I was like, “I appreciate it, but I'm not going with you.”

    Whenever an issue does come up, I'm glad I already have the service covered. Since mine is a bigger car and a newer one, it has more sensors and all this other stuff, and I don't wanna deal with any of that. So, in case something does go wrong with it and I decide to take it to the service, they would probably know the car back and forth, and it's free of mind.

    The CARCHEX rep I dealt with was great. He asked various qualifying questions that I feel were pretty good choices to make sure I got the right kind of policy for my vehicle. He was very professional, very polite and didn't try to upsell me. It seemed like he genuinely had an interest in what was best for me and my vehicle. So, I enjoyed it. It was a very smooth process. I made it known that sometimes my travel mileage varies. So, I just wanted to make sure I had enough coverage. We talked about how long I had planned to keep the car and I told them it'd be like maybe two more years. He also gave me some good information on like if I did sell the car, I can sell the warranty with it. It was completely awesome. CARCHEX is doing a great job as far as providing customer service and helping other people out in my position. They offer a great service that more people should know about.

    CARCHEX was one of the top that popped up for referral as soon as I put in the car extended warranties. The rates is better than what I was gonna be paying before, so it was the obvious decision. The only thing is to this date, I still haven't gotten any type of information like emails or anything regarding my coverage plan. I've been waiting for about three weeks to a month to go ahead and receive that particular information, but I feel like they could have forwarded the emails to me.

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate you speaking with us in regards to your approved claim and cancellation request. According to our records, a written quote was emailed to you and review on 11/4/2020. The coverage was purchased online on our website which provides you with a copy of the contract for review at checkout. Our records indicate the coverage was reviewed on 11/5/2020 and again on 11/23/2020. Additionally, a hard copy of your contract was mailed out to you for review on 11/6/2020.

    Our contracts clearly document that the coverage purchased is administered by a 3rd party claims administrator. We apologize if you were not aware of this at the time of purchase but we did fully disclose this to you.

    With regards to your claim on the 2015 Audi Q7 Premium, the administrator received a call from your repair shop requesting an AC Blower Motor repair. At the time of your claim, your contract was active for 58 days and 490 miles driven. The administrator approved your claim based on the terms of the coverage by verifying the labor time through ALL Data, a nationally recognized labor guide, and sourcing aftermarket parts. While your repair shop wants to use branded Audi parts for this repair, the claims approval met the contract terms of like, kind, and quality.

    When we discussed this with you, CARCHEX offered to help you with the out of pocket expenses as a one time courtesy but you declined our offer. We have sent you the cancellation instructions for your coverage and await your written request to cancel.

    If you have nay questions, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

    I recently purchased a car and I was trying to get different quotes from different extended warranty companies. CARCHEX was one of them. I asked their guy to send me the contract so I can review it and he sent me a sample contract, not an original contract. I reviewed the contract in two days. I found that CarShield had offered the same warranty, with even more features and more add-ons for 1,000 and some dollars cheaper. I decided to cancel Carchex and then I decided that I don't need a car warranty right now because I still have my manufacturer's warranty going on.

    They would sell their warranties online in like 20 minutes but when it comes to cancellation, these guys wouldn't cooperate. I had to call them thrice and every time, I waited for 20 or 30 minutes to just get to a guy to talk to. Then, as soon as I got to the canceling department, they made me hold for 20 minutes. A guy talked to me and told me the procedure I got to go through and that I got to fill a form and return it to them. I didn't understand that I had to mail it. They wouldn't cancel it online. I don't even have a contract with them. It's a hassle for me and I asked them to try to understand. I tried to be polite to them but none of them were trying to coordinate with me. I kind of felt very harassed.

    These people who are running a business are manipulative. Their guy told me to check out other companies who don't have good ratings at the Better Business Bureau. When I later read the reviews on other sites, I got to know the truth and when I tried to file a complaint myself, I got to know how Carchex works. He tried to market false stuff to me on the phone. They gotta be honest when they're selling a policy and let people know, in case they decide to cancel, that cancellation takes time. It will take 60 days to return my money, which is another frustrating thing. I spent $12 to mail and then I need to wait 60 days after that notice got delivered to these guys.

    With regards to our cancellation policy, once a plan goes beyond the 30 day money back guarantee, a written request is required by the insurer of the coverage in order to cancel your warranty. The email you received from our staff is the standard cancellation policy describing this process and refund time of 45-60 days. However, after review of your calls with our staff, you were advised to simply reply back to the email as your plan was within 30 days of purchase.

    A confirmation of cancellation email was sent to you 1/5/2021 confirming your cancellation was completed and the funds would appear in your account within 3-5 days.

    With regards to the hold times you experienced, you called 1/4/2021 which is traditionally one of our busiest days of the year due to the New years Holiday. We apologize for the hold times but our call volume was double our normal volume due to our offices being closed for 3 days due to the holiday.

    I used to frequent a business that was right next to Carchex. I knew the name because I've always shopped around for extended warranty companies. I went in and visited them. I read the contract in detail. They’re like higher end and more expensive for a new car bumper-to-bumper warranty. I chose them because I done some business with them and I know they're real. They seemed more believable to me. The guy that I was dealing with was very thorough. He took the time. I asked him questions into depth on several different things and he was very nice to deal with. I would recommend people calling him as far as the process goes.

    I got an exclusionary policy. When you buy a new car, the only thing they tell you about your warranty is what they don't cover. Basically, they cover every single thing on the car with the exception of the small list of exclusions which makes it an exclusionary policy. So if you buy a new car, they're not going to cover the replacement of your tires. They're not going to cover the fact that your gas tank is going to go empty every week or two. They're not going to replace your windshield wipers. All regular items aren't covered. It's easier to list what they don't cover because basically they cover 100% of the car. 99% of all extended warranties are inclusionary. They give you three or four pages of what's included which could be 200, 300 items but you have tens of thousands of items in a car. Those are not comprehensive coverages.

    I am an older widowed woman and I purchased this warranty from Carchex from Larry. He assured me they would be there for me and take care of me and boy did they. I have a 2009 Volkswagen EOS. I purchased this policy 9/21/2020. There was a 30 days and 1000 miles waiting period. I drove the car 39 Days and 1135 miles when the dual clutch assembly went out on the car. I immediately took the car to my mechanic and Carchex came out and had me tear the transmission down, no broken parts, no slug, no abuse, simply a mechanic break, the adjuster looked and told my mechanic he agreed no abuse nothing showing other than sudden break of transmission since you cannot drive it with this issue.

    I was told this issue would not be covered because I had only gone 135 miles and this would not have happen in this time frame but if I had drove it 300 days with the same scenario this would have been covered. I was told this by the manager Henry. I asked what is the difference if it is the same scenario? Henry said it is different because that means it is pre existing. Henry said he would talk to my mechanic and if he could prove it was sudden he would pay the claim. After 5 days Henry finally called back, my mechanic explained how the system works, it goes to limp mode and you cannot drive the car when the dual clutch assembly goes and that is as sudden as you can get. I met the required mileages and days per the contract to be eligible and I feel we met every one of their requirements.

    We had the transmission torn down. Was told if nothing in there no broken parts it would be covered. Nothing in there denied. We asked for another look. Yhey asked for the dual clutch be torn down. We did even though this is a closed assembly that nothing there clean, denied. Then Henry wanted to speak to mechanic who sent documents for this car I purchased used in July showing the maintenance I had done on the car to show car was in good mechanic shape. We sent the bulletins on the tear down and how they determined the dual clutch was the issue.

    I feel the issue is this is a very expensive fix $4500 and they don't want to pay. Please help me. This is wrong. I played by their rules and did everything they asked and met all their requirements but yet they can say this was pre-existing because it happened in 39 days and not 300 days same scenario from a vehicle that has 76000 plus miles. Can you tell me the difference? I met the waiting period with a valid claim and this. Please help me with this issue. I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.

    The warranty I had with the dealership ran out. I looked up ConsumerAffairs and they listed the top, and CARCHEX was listed second. I went with the first one. They said I had 20-inch wheels instead of 18, that they couldn't insure me. Then I went to the second one which was CARCHEX. They're all very nice. I paid it in full, and I know they have payment plans that are very reasonable. There's no reason for anybody to be stuck with a broken down car when it's so affordable to get an extended warranty.

    My vehicle has been very good to me. But at some point, my luck is gonna run out. I had been considering to get warranty coverage for a while and depending on what the cost and the coverage would be, it might be a reasonable investment. Purchasing a warranty was a little more complex than I would have hoped for. It was like buying a car. There were several rounds of negotiations and several alternatives. They weren't offered until I said no and then they had this proposal. Eventually, I was turned over to the boss and eventually, I got a deal that I was comfortable with. Sometimes, the lowest price is the best value but not necessarily. But even if the original plan was acceptable to me, I would have asked for other plans that they had because 9 times out of 10, there would be another plan.

    Many people would be very uneasy or annoyed if they found out six months later, that there was an alternative that was never presented to them when buying the coverage. But of course, most people will never find out because most people don't ask the 8,000 questions that I do. Sometimes, the other side gets annoyed with that. But these people from Carchex were patient enough to listen to my questions, and move me along to the point where I felt comfortable that I was getting what I wanted.

    One of the restrictions of this plan is that it wasn't good for 30 days or 500 miles. My issue is that I'm not putting on very many miles partially because of the pandemic, but partially because the nature of my business at this point is mostly sitting at a computer and having zoom meetings. So, I don't travel the way I used to. I may have to go for a ride just to put the miles on so the plan is active. But so far, the experience has been good.

    I just purchased a car and it had above 150,000 miles on it. It's a good car and was in good condition but it's a machine and typically, machines break down. I figured I'd rather build my roof when it's sunny out than when it's raining. I don't wanna be paying for something then apply coverage to the vehicle. I want it to be covered before something inevitable happens. I wanna be covered when it does.

    CARCHEX was a straight shooter and I felt I wasn't being hit with any gimmicks. I didn't feel like I was talking to a salesman who was trying to make a sale but rather a person that understood exactly the plight what I was in. If you say a vehicle has 150,000 miles, most people typically would try to charge you an arm and a leg. CARCHEX was a little pricey but I got to protect my vehicle. It's worth it. They helped with the savings. Their people were extremely informed as far as exactly what is covered. That's a big deal for me because typically, salespeople may know a lot about their product but not know everything. This individual from CARCHEX knew everything and knew what he was doing.

I heard really good things about Carchex from several car companies. They were the best when it came to making sure they stood by whatever warranty they had.

    The sales guy I had was very knowledgeable and he gave me a military discount. He tried to do everything possible to work with what I wanted. I was initially gonna go with the bronze plan but because what he was saying was great, I went with the silver plan. I didn't care about the price but I cared about the experience and the people.

    My car is almost four years old or a little bit past and I wanted to insure it in case anything happens. I spoke to different extended warranty companies. I wanted a better deal and not so many hidden clauses. I ended up with Carchex and it was great. Ken explained everything and answered my question. It was so easy. I even repeated some of the questions over and over again. Ken took his time and he reminded me or explained to me over again how things worked.

    I called Ken the other day because my boyfriend was purchasing a car from a used dealership and they don't give an extended warranty. The first time I called, I spoke to a receptionist then he transferred me over. He told me Ken wasn't there but he would leave a message and Ken would call me back. He called me back the next day so it was pleasant. Ken gave me a quote and explained to me what was covered. He was very detailed in his explanation and helped me feel comfortable with what he was telling me. I'm very satisfied with the information and how Ken explained everything to me as well as all the details he gave me about the insurance. Having a vehicle protection plan is very valuable because you never know what can happen. I've been bragging about Carchex and I speak very highly of them.

    Once I got the policy set up, Carchex's website to pay was user-friendly and it allowed me to set up extra options for those going through the process. It wasn't very confusing. Having the extended warranty is priceless at this point. It was $11,000 to fix the car the day after I bought the warranty. The car is actually in the shop now.

    I usually buy new vehicles because I like to have a warranty on the vehicle. We're now trying to do a Dave Ramsey program and we are trying to pay for things without financing so I was looking into getting a used car. I had seen CARCHEX on the Carfax website so I called and I talked to a gentleman. He was so helpful and explained to me the ins and outs. He was honest about the pros and the cons.

    But I did not end up buying the car that I was going to look at and I told the guy that we were still searching. He was so nice and told me that he would check back in on me. He called me back and asked if I had found a car. I still haven't yet. I wanted a convertible bug. It's a 2013 with 49,000 miles on it. The guy called again and by then, I told him we were getting the car that day and if he were to call me in the afternoon, we would talk. I told him my needs and my wants. He was going through it and he said 30,000 miles would come first. I couldn't do that because I put 30,000 miles on my car in a year. That was not going to be a three-year warranty for me. That was gonna be a one-year warranty.

    But the guy was so thorough and was one of the best as far as dealing with anybody on the phone. He explained the differences like “I’m gonna put you on this. Your deductible will go down, but you're gonna lose some of your coverage. We’re going with a longer warranty.” In the end, I got the 100,000-mile three-year warranty. My car is covered until 150,000 miles and I couldn't believe it.

    I checked with the Better Business Bureau and CARCHEX has an A rating with them. I checked out some of the reviews and what people were saying about them. I had seen that the CARCHEX is rated number one right now as far as car warranties. I felt very confident in my purchase. I also asked the guy if we could get the service cheaper if we were to pay all at once. We saved about $800.

    I was not with my husband when I was making these decisions and I told the guy that. He said he would make it easier for me. He said he would put me down where I would only get charged as if I paid the policy in one payment. But they would set it up on six payments at 444, which was fine. Now, I have this nice car with a 100,000-mile warranty on it and it's paid for.

    I was very satisfied with the customer service and with what I hope to get as the product. My mechanic told me that car warranties are great but sometimes they would screw you. They would send somebody out and would want the mechanic to tear the motor down completely. They would then say, "Well you didn't change the oil like you were supposed to. This is neglect." The motor's on the floor but the warranty company would not pay for it. I realize that there are things that may come along with the warranty but if I get what I was told for the cost that I was told, I will be extremely satisfied.

    Have an extended for your vehicle is the best thing that you can do nowadays, especially with cars being expensive as they are. And repairs are even worse. I hate the fact of having to pay a car note and having to pay a repair note at the same time. CARCHEX is a great thing for people that have cars that are very expensive to repair. It’s heaven-sent because that's what we needed. Cars still break down on you no matter how well you try to treat them. They are still gonna have their days when they are gonna act ugly or something's gonna happen. I'm glad that I have my warranty. I had a repair once before and it was $2,300.

    I just bought an older vehicle and I wanna make sure that all my bases are covered. I was supposed to get Endurance but I spoke with a guy who told me what I would be able to get with Carchex and that I wouldn't be able to get that with anybody else. The guy that I spoke to was super helpful and he answered all my questions. I didn't really know too much about extended warranties and the guy was super educational. He was awesome. This is the first month I've been dealing with Carchex and so far, so good.

    I just bought a used car. I invested too much money in it to not have an extended warranty on it. I had to get the full coverage on the car. That's what made me get one. They gave me the top 10 warranty cars people and Carchex was number two. I signed up and everything was great. They were very professional. They got down with me and explained a lot of things to me. It was very reassuring. I like that because a lot of other companies don't do that. I'm gonna continue to keep this policy because things happen. My monthly fee is pretty good and my deductible is 200. That's a good price. I just need to get back and talk to the guy if I have to pay any out of pocket expenses.

    Ken did a really good job and signing up with Carchex was quick and easy. I like their coverage. The pricing was right and you can cancel at any time. You're on a month to month basis. If you make a claim and it wasn't what you thought, then you can cancel. You're not out that entire two years $2,000. I kinda like that part of it. The other thing was that you don't have to come out-of-pocket. If something happens to your car and you go to the dealership or a certified mechanic, you're not coming out-of-pocket then getting reimbursed. That feels kinda like a safety to me. There's not a possibility where you paid for the service then the company decides they're not gonna reimburse you ‘cause it's not covered for whatever reason. I really hope I don't have to use it but it sounded like if I am gonna need it, it's gonna be worthwhile.

    The customer service and the experience with Carchex have been great thus far. I bought a plan over the phone with them when they called back. Everything was self-explanatory but they gave me a rundown. I just bought a BMW and I wanted to be covered as much as possible with it. It's a ‘14 640i which is a really nice car. It doesn’t have any issues but I wanted a peace of mind. That's why I looked up the top 2 and the top 2 were Carchex and Endurance. Endurance called me back yesterday and was possibly gonna offer me a better plan which is equivalent to the platinum plan with Carchex. I have the silver plan with Carchex. Endurance is covering a little more components and parts for just a little bit more. I was going to see if Carchex could match that. But as far Carchex, so far, the service and the transaction were great. The price is really good too.

    Thank you for your review. We understand the frustration of having a denied claim and will address your concerns.

    According to our records, a silver level 4 Year / 48,000 mile Centennial Plan was purchased on 8/31/2017 for your 2006 Cadillac DTS for a total cost of $3382.00. The optional stand alone seals and gaskets surcharge was included and you were offered Extended Financing for 30 months. CARCHEX paid the down payment of $112.74 to get you started since you had a previous plan on another vehicle.

    At the time of purchase, you were also offered our Titanium level of exclusionary coverage for a total cost of $5292.00. This plan is our highest level of coverage and would have covered this repair however this plan was not purchased.

    On the purchased coverage, a claim was filed in March of 2020. This claim was approved and paid to the repair shop a total of $730.92 after deductible for your Alternator repair.

    Recently, your repair shop called your contract administrator for an ignition coil repair and were advised this is not a listed component on your plan.

    The silver level Centennial plan lists the following electrical components as eligible for repair:

    "Alternator, voltage regulator, starter motor, starter solenoid, ignition switch, front and rear wiper motors and switches, washer pump and switch, headlamp switch, turn signal switch, rear defroster switch, blower speed switch, power window motors, regulators and switches,

    and the power door lock actuators and switches."

    To date, you have not spoken with CARCHEX about this repair. We will ask one of our Customer Service representatives to reach out to you to discuss this matter. If you would like to call us to discuss the matter, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

    I liked the Carchex ad that I saw on the internet and the people I talked to. The customer service rep was very helpful. He gave me his extension number if I ever have a problem which I haven’t. He went the extra mile. He wanted to make sure I had everything I needed. I told him I wanted to make more payment than 200. He said that was not a problem. When I told him how much, he got a supervisor involved and said that we could go ahead with that and we did. Usually, they want you to make a payment, get it started, then make the additional payment. But he and his supervisor arranged so I could go ahead and do that. I'm very happy with the way they treated me. They were very courteous and very friendly. They answered all my questions and gave me helpful information. It was done in a matter of minutes.

    However, I'd like to know when I can get a copy of any policy of some kind. I only received a copy of what it would look like because they were taking the payments in that. I did not receive an actual Carfax copy. Having a coverage is very valuable. I stay on top of vehicle repairs and so does my husband. We told Toyota for a year and a half something was wrong with the wheel bearings. About the third visit every six months, they finally said, “You have something wrong with your wheel bearing." It was kind of aggravating but they took care of it.

    I have an older car and I didn't wanna worry about what happens if it breaks down. I went with Carchex and the experience was fairly easy. I told them to call back and they did. I bought it once they gave me a much better price than their initial offering. Having the coverage, I can send it to any dealership or any shop that I like and I do not have to worry about negotiating better prices with them. The warranty company will usually take care of that.

    My biggest problem not just with Carchex but with all these car warranty companies is that it seems they all refuse to give you prices by email or through their websites. It seems like they intentionally hide the prices. They all wanna talk to you and give you the prices on the phone. I would like to see multiple prices from multiple places and kind of put them side by side, do a comparison and maybe change things. Sometimes they offer you six years versus five years or 75,000 miles, 100,000 miles. They bombard you with information on the phone. I have to go write it down so I can remember to compare.

    The first person I spoke with at CARCHEX gave me a high price and so, he transferred me to someone else. I was on the phone with that person for a very long time but they got the price down.

I can only get a limited type of warranty and that was kinda disappointing. But the price was enough that I could pay in advance for the whole year. However, they wouldn't let me as they don't do that. And so, I paid for the first month. I had 30 days to change my mind.

    Another company contacted me and they had a better offer. CARCHEX has an expiration date of how long my car could be covered. That's for 50,000 additional miles. The other company said, "No. It's no limit". I am going to change over to them.

The warranty only goes up to 125,000, where I'm at. And chances are when it's gonna fail, it's gonna fail after 125,000. But if it goes out before that, then it's gonna be a real bugger. That's what insurance is all about. It's shared risk. I've got a bunch of older cars that I would never buy warranties on.

    We had had coverage on our vehicle from the time that we purchased it, and the contract was expiring, so we looked at what was available to continue with a contract on it. We looked at what was available for a vehicle that matched the age and mileage of our vehicle. Then, we looked at what the available coverage was. We felt like CARCHEX met our needs. As far as the initial contact and purchasing, everything was very good. The representative was very helpful. He made himself available to me. I was doing some research when I contacted them, and he answered all my questions and didn't pressure me about purchasing the contract, which was good, because I'm not one that responds well to that. He didn't hound me, which went a long way with me.

    We just bought a new truck and it's a used vehicle and we needed some extra coverage. CARCHEX was one of our first searches. The woman that helped us was Melinda, and she was very helpful and told us everything that we needed to know. It was a different person who finished up, and he was just as nice as well. Our CARCHEX experience was pretty cut-and-dried.

    Carchex seemed more comprehensive than the other providers we had looked at. We purchased a protection plan from them and it was pretty much seamless. Their rep did a really good job and it was a quick and easy personal service.

    When we bought our car, it came with an extended warranty from the manufacturer. We like the car so we try to maintain the car and we continue to have coverage until we pay it off. We liked CARCHEX's price, the coverage, and the payment terms. Purchasing the plan from CARCHEX was seamless. It was a good experience.

    When I called CARCHEX, I said, "I want coverage for six years." So the rep gave me a quote based on that information. Then I asked him about what's covered and I found out that six years is available with just a basic coverage. So instead of the year, he helped me to get the coverage that we wanted instead of the number of years we wanna cover. For us, having a vehicle protection plan is a peace of mind. My experience with CARCHEX was stress-free and the sales person I talked to has a very good follow up. I’m very satisfied.

    I bought a BMW with high mileage on it. I was trying to figure out who would be the best to go with for coverage, and CARCHEX was the first that popped up. They had an A-plus with the Better Business Bureau as well. It was a little bit rocky at first. I was trying to see what pricing was and things of that nature. The next in pricing or next to somewhere reputable was CarShield. I went back and forth with them. CarShield was offering me a warranty of 1,000 off cheaper, but I had to look at the reviews, the Better Business Bureau rating. I went back to CARCHEX ‘cause they have a price match guarantee. When I explained to them things from my point of view, they worked with me. They didn't match the price, but they knocked $400 off the price of my warranty. They’re a company and they wanna get as much as they want. If customers wanna negotiate services, they'll negotiate so that's one good thing.

    The protection specialist was a good guy. I asked a lot of questions like what doesn't the warranty cover. He explained to me everything that wasn't covered, so that way, I could make sure I got the right plan that was appropriate for what I was trying to do. He answered any questions, gave me his number, and sent out information the same day. He was very helpful. The thing that dragged customer service down for me, and it was partially my fault, was I called later in the day. A lot of times, I don't get off work before 5:00 or 6:00 so I called around the time it was five and a half hours before they closed and they bounced me around so much. They hung up on me twice. I’m attributing that to people who were leaving early, and they had a lack of representatives to handle calls, ‘cause the next day when I called back, there wasn't any of that stuff going on.

    Having this warranty is very valuable to me. I have a couple of friends that had this car and they’ve told me that when getting a small repair, it gets very costly. A repair could be $1,200 to $1,500 for just a basic one. So, to pay for $2,500 for a warranty that’ll last five years is pretty good. Just knowing that when I’m riding down the road, if anything happens, I can choose the warranty shop of my choice and I don't have to wait till something breaks completely down. If I notice any noise or anything that’s abnormal, I can take it in and CARCHEX will cover it. They're a great company and they’re customer service-oriented. I had a bad experience, but it was quickly rectified. As long as their customer service is good, they'll be around for a little while.

    My vehicle is a 2001. I figured it's better to be safe than sorry and looked into getting an extended warranty. I went through reviews on Google and the Better Business Bureau website and decided to go with Carchex. I worked with two of their reps over the phone and they answered all my questions. I know they have a lot that they have to say during the phone call and I asked for it to be repeated so I can make sure that I understand the contract and they repeated and I understood. I feel like the coverage is worth the money. Also, I was on my online account and the navigation was really easy. Everything is straightforward and right in front of you.
