    I was on the fence whether to buy a new car. There's such a low mileage on the car at the time. It is five years old. So I said, “You know what, I spend $15,000 roughly or more to replace the same car, it doesn’t make any sense.” So, I decided to get the policy. CARCHEX's price was very good, and it also seemed to cover more. The only problem I had, and still have, is that they put it in my name because the car is in my name, and they said I could add another person to it. They wound up putting my wife as the owner but I called them up to correct it. They said they corrected it and sent me a copy of corrected information. Supposedly, the rep emailed it but I never got it. I never got a hard copy. I have to call them up again today. Other than that, they were extremely courteous and helpful.

    My current extended warranty when I bought the vehicle new was expiring. I wasn't ready to get rid of the vehicle yet, so I didn't wanna go without a warranty either. I called the dealer I bought the car from and they gave me a quote and I thought to check around. I did a bunch of internet searches and looking at ratings and reading reviews. Ultimately, I got a quote from Carchex and it was better than the quote I got from the dealer. The sign-up process was easy and simple. The representative called me within five minutes after that and he was friendly. He answered the questions I had and told me a lot about their product and how it works. It was very thorough. I just can't use it ‘til the 30 days is up for the waiting period.

    I wanted to get coverage to have something to keep my car protected if anything is supposed to go wrong down the line. Based on the most recent 2020 reviews, CARCHEX is one of the top providers with the better reviews, and it offers better coverage options than the other companies. Their rep was very open and honest about what they had to offer. He wasn’t trying to pressure me into added services they got. He was just telling me about the company and letting me decide. He explained the coverage pretty well. I asked him questions if I did feel he didn’t answer something.

    Upon signing up last week on Friday my warranty plan, that was suggested for me to pick, I choose upon reading more about my warranty, I choose to upgrade my warranty so I called the person I spoke with and could not get a hold of him so I left a voicemail and called 3 additional times and also emailed the representative but was ignored.

    I had an auto warranty before and it was helpful. I wanted to keep something similar moving forward. I talked to a Carchex representative. He gave me all the information and I signed up with them. He was very thorough in his knowledge so it made me feel comfortable with the decision. The website was pretty straightforward. It has a very ease of access and navigation although I haven't done too much with it yet. I just logged in to look at my policy number so that I could have it with me until my card comes in. I could give it to the shop that I take my car to. I’d recommend the representatives to keep doing in being knowledgeable in the products that they're selling. That's what made mine easier.

    I’ve had two warranties that I've bought at the top of this year, and both of them kinda let me down. I compared CARCHEX to the two that I signed up for. CARCHEX was the best one so far by ratings. They have a decent pricing, and purchasing the warranty was great and painless. It’s pretty cut-and-dry. It wasn’t my first purchase, and so I kinda know what to look for and know what I’m buying.

    I have a reliable vehicle but being 13 years old, I like to have that kind of coverage and peace of mind. CARCHEX was pretty highly rated, not as high as they rated as Endurance, but they had better customer service reviews. Also, their limit of liability was a lot higher than Endurance. Endurance would only pay as much as the cash value of my car for repairs over the lifetime of the service agreement. The cash value of my car isn't the highest in the world because it's a Crown Victoria. It's 2007. CARCHEX's limit of liability that they'll pay for repairs over the lifetime of my car is either the cash value or $15,000, whichever is higher. So they'll pay 15,000 worth of repairs, whereas Endurance would only pay maybe four max.

    The CARCHEX rep was a nice guy. His name was Nick and he took time to explain everything. I called him multiple times asking a bunch of different questions to make sure it was something I can actually use. He was really helpful. He also walked through the list that he emailed me, all the different things that are covered and things that aren't. Having the coverage is really valuable, especially this day and age, as expensive as even just the most minor repairs can be.

    I was shopping around a lot for extended coverage. The prices were competitive but at the end of the day, Carchex made me seal the deal because they have been in the market for a long period of time. That kinda made me feel good and knowing that they are nationwide also. The rep was very helpful and he explained everything thoroughly. He was very attentive to try to make the best possible deal for me so I can proceed in buying it. Then, he provided me with his upper management and the upper management took care of the whole deal after that.

    I like how efficient it was to make payments and how they were able to do it over the phone. And there's a better rate if you paid in full and I liked that. As far as the coverage, they gave me the best tier that they had. It was explained to me that everything is pretty much covered. I liked that they gave me the best package possible.

    We bought our car brand new and decided that we wanna keep it. It's almost at 100,000 miles. The warranty that we bought through Chevy expires this month, so we decided to go ahead and get the additional warranty. Not that we've had any trouble with the vehicle. It's just we've had vehicles that had issues. Like we had a Chevy Express, high top van, that went through three fuel pumps. So, we always buy the warranty, which people say is crazy, but in our instance, we have not found that to be true. We had an Astro van which we bought in 1988 and got the 100,000-mile warranty. At 99,988 miles, the engine blew so they had to put a new engine in it, which we were not happy. We just decided that because we can tow the Equinox behind our RV, that would be the vehicle. We decided we wanted to make sure we have five more years and some other mileage available.

    I talked to one other provider and they were almost $400 a month. Also, they didn't say how many months. I was like, "That's ludicrous. That's like another car payment. I'm not doing that." I saw an ad for CARCHEX so I just checked it out and talked to Frank. And then I talked to my husband, and we decided that we would go ahead with it. The gentleman that I had talked to was not available to talk, so I talked to the general manager, and he was very nice. He was a Bears fan, so we talked about that. It was a very nice conversation. Very friendly, very informative. I didn't feel extreme pressure or anything like that. He explained everything. Then we went ahead, and that's about it. I would have friends definitely check out CARCHEX if that's what they needed or they were thinking about it.

    We just got our cars, and a Mercedes can be kind of expensive to fix if something goes wrong. So, it was suggested that we get an extended warranty on the cars. We looked at the ratings and decided to go with CARCHEX. The representative was nice, courteous and polite. He went over a lot of information, which I thought was cool. He broke down the plans, what they covered, what they offered, and the costs. He made sure that I kinda understood what each plan was and what each plan did. I'm still waiting for the packet. I guess the representative mistyped the address, so the packet went somewhere else. I reached back out to them, and that was how I found out that the address was incorrect. The protection plans are probably invaluable because if something major goes wrong, you're gonna pay really hefty to get your car back on the road. I haven't been able to use the warranty yet, which is probably a blessing.

    I purchased a new used car, and it had an extended warranty on it already that the dealership sold me. I had 60 days to decide whether I wanted to keep it or not. I started shopping to see if there was a better plan out there and I came across the CARCHEX website and I talked to their representative. She convinced me that their plan was better and less expensive. So, I purchased their plan and I cancelled the old plan I had.

    The rep was really good. She showed me how it was for a longer period of time and it was based on the value of the car at the time of purchase of the plan, not necessarily the depreciated value of the car at the time of the repair, which was pretty important. I have a plan for eight years. She convinced me that it was a better value, so I bought it.

    I haven't had to use the protection plan, but having it is handy because if you have a major repair, then you'll have to pocket a lot of money. Sometimes you don't have access to that money, so you put it on a credit card. Having the plan saves a lot of debt. So far, I'm happy I haven't had to use it, but if I have to use it, maybe it'll make me even happier.

    When you buy your car straight out, there's no one out here that's gonna give you extra insurance for your vehicle warranty over 100,000 miles. I should have done some research. The way that the sales rep sold me on Carchex definitely sold me. He represented the company good. He explained the coverage but he told me that my first payment wasn’t coming out until the 27th of September. But they took $85 from me the day that I got the service on the 27th, and then they got me again for $166 and some change on the 2nd of September. I've been trying to call for somebody to call me back and they have yet to do that. They made my account overdrawn on my other bills. I was disappointed.

    Once you get insurance through them, there shouldn't be any time frame on what to do with your vehicle if you're paying the money. They want you to have 1,000 miles within the first 30 days if something goes wrong. And then, if nothing don’t go wrong with your car within the first 30 days, you have to wait till 90 days to put in a complaint. Even though I don't have no complaint about my Benz that I had just bought, but still, anything could happen. But it's okay because if anything goes wrong right now, I'm good. I’m almost in New York City already.

    I'm really big about having everything that I need and not worrying about something when something happens, so I like to handle stuff before something happens. I don't have hardly any miles on my Honda, but the manufacturer warranty was gonna expire. I have the non-powertrain, but I would lose the powertrain, so I wanted to make sure I had coverage on everything. Also, it's important to have an extended warranty because it can cover what other things don't cover. Even if you have something else, like how I have the non-powertrain, but I'm gonna lose the powertrain in November, then I'll have everything covered.

    Carchex offers good customer service and affordable coverage. Purchasing was easy and they also offered the roadside assistance if it's a repair issue. I had them in the past for a short time on another vehicle that I had as well, but I dropped the extended warranty on it because of finances. I like them in particular though. They were a cool company.

    By doing the research and looking at reviews, I found Carchex's rating with the Better Business Bureau. They had higher reviews as well and that helped with the decision to go with them. I'm a guy who just wants the facts and it was a good experience. It was straight to the point and there were as no hidden agendas on either myself or them. The rep was very knowledgeable and helpful too. She did a good job 'cause I had questions and she answered them all. She then made sure that I was aware of all the pertinent info I needed to be aware of. Everything was good and I was happy.

    I had Carchex on my former car. I called a couple of companies and I wasn't impressed with their presentation. I then went on and saw that Carchex was rated good on ConsumerAffairs. The representative was very good as well. He was very patient, and he explained everything. I had some questions, after I talked to him, and he immediately called me back. It was a very good experience. I recently got another car, so I wanted the coverage again. It's very valuable.

    We've had some bad experiences in the past and we didn't want to worry about repairs on used cars. CARCHEX had good reviews online and when we talked with their rep, they were very knowledgeable and informative. The sign up process didn't take long and it was great. It seemed like the policy was fine, but when we got the full contract, there was some language in it that we thought would be too restrictive and that we didn't want to work with. We were concerned about claims and after reading through the fine print, it seemed like we can't prove anything if we put any claims in. It seemed like claims would be likely rejected based on whose definition of preexisting or what wear and tear could be defined as. It wasn't as clear-cut as we would have liked. So, we decided to cancel the warranty and right now, they’re asking for the information and just a little bit of reasoning. We got all that submitted, so it seems to be going well so far.

Also, I'm older and I wanted something telling me that if something happens to me, my wife would have somewhere to get the car repaired if she still kept it. I was checking ConsumerAffairs and I was looking to buy a repair warranty. They put me in touch with CARCHEX and I decided to purchase the agreement after talking to their rep, Freddie, for a while. Their reps were very helpful during my sign up. I got the bumper-to-bumper coverage and I need 600 miles on the car to activate the warranty and something else. Other than that, when we got the papers in the mail, my wife’s name wasn't on there with mine. But the car is in her name also, so we wanted that on it.

    I was stolen from!!!! Zero Stars. So a bit better than a year ago. I bought a policy after buying a 2011 BMW 535i. It had 133000 miles on it roughly. Ran like a top. I don't drive it that often. In November after about 2751 miles of driving I heard a hell of a racket coming from under the hood. I had it towed to an ASE mechanic. He was busy so I told him when he got around to it to check it out I have a policy that will pay for the repairs. I have 4 other vehicles so it really wasn't pressing. It was discovered after a good while that a timing belt tensioner and timing chain needed to be replaced.

    The mechanic made a claim on my behalf. After pics sent to Royal who handles the policy I bought apparently not from Carchex and an adjuster came to look at it he also concluded that it needed a timing belt tensioner and possible motor replacement. After about 2-3 weeks I received a call from a claim processor that the claim had been denied because they Royal/Carchex decided it was pre-existing. What does that mean...Everything on a vehicle that could break can be labeled preexisting. Immediately I filed for arbitration....Over a month goes by with nothing, no call, no letter, and after many calls from me I decided to just cancel the policy and get a refund. I figured at least I'd have enough money to try to fix the car, I paid in $2013.55 in a year almost to the date.

    Today I receive a refund check of $807.49. Seriously you're going to keep a little over $1200.00 when you said the car had pre-existing conditions. How does that work? It's like stealing and honestly I'm more than pissed. This has been a horrendous experience and I have a bad taste in my mouth. You should do better Carchex and stand behind what you sell. You can bet I'll be calling them. I better get to bank in the morning before they cancel this check. I've been stolen from!!!!

    Thank you for your review. We apologize for any frustration you had with the claim on your 2011 BMW 535I. We will explain the claim and refund.

    According to our records, your coverage was purchased on 7/11/2019. A claim was called into the contract administrator on 10/21/2019 related to an internal engine failure. At this time, the contract had been active 72 days and 1751 miles driven after the standard 30 Day / 1000 mile waiting period.

    CARCHEX was first contacted about this claim on 6/8/2020. When we reached out to the contract administrator, we were advised you, the customer, had already filed for Arbitration and the claim dispute would be handled through the Arbitration process outlined in the contract. Due to this, CARCHEX was unable to assist you with the claims dispute.

    On 7/16/2020, CARCHEX received your request to cancel the coverage. As the retailer, CARCHEX must process the request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The refund was calculated based on the cancellation policy and pro-rated accordingly based on time/miles under coverage.

    If you have any additional questions regarding this claim, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    My Ford Raptor is a year and a half old. It has had five recalls, and three of those are not trivial. When purchasing vehicles, I extensively use Carbuyingtips.com and the tips on that site has always worked for me every time. They recommended Carchex as a Better Business Bureau frontrunner and, all around, it may be not the cheapest, but it's the best they could think of. The first rep I dealt with was somewhat responsive but lost contact with me. I don't carry a phone into my place of work and I don't use my work phone for calls other than work. So, I was trying to communicate with that person via email, and they dropped off.

    I really wanted this coverage, so I wrote it down. I called them, and then the second person and I were able to communicate via email. It was successful, quick and professional. Because of my circumstance, this aftermarket warranty is very valuable to me. Typically, I don't like to spend my dollars with anybody, unless I'm buying something that I know is a throwaway item. A car's not a throwaway item to me, so I'm a little disappointed that I was not able to uncover these problems with the vehicle that I purchased before purchasing it. Otherwise, I'd rather buy a 20-year-old car that I know works every time versus a brand-new car that is gonna have five issues in one and a half years.

    I was specifically getting an extended warranty because after 2010, the Porsche dealers don't do warranties. I had to do something like Carchex, which is cool. I looked online, and a lot of other things I looked in had a lot of holes in it. Coverage-wise, it seemed like this was reliable and they had good reviews too. The reps informed me well, and it seemed like they were aware of what was going on. My only issue was that there was piece of information that technically I could have either known before by doing the research or they could have said it before. They didn't tell me that the warranty wouldn't count until after a certain amount of mileage, till after I was completing the process. I got a Porsche Cayenne at one state and I'm driving it to another. It's very expensive.

    I got a warranty immediately because I wanted the car to be covered. I ended up getting a new car and because I got my new car, I ended up getting the extended warranty on my old car. I did it with my other car, but I might have thought about things differently it in the beginning if I knew that the car wouldn't be covered for the first 1,000 miles. They didn't say that until I was paying and that was annoying because the whole reason why I got it was for that first car. I just spent $20,000 on a vehicle and it wasn't protecting me from what I immediately needed it for. At the end of the day though, it's gonna protect the car in the long term and that's cool. That's protecting them and I get that. It seemed logical to do it.

    I must say that my experience with this company was not what I expected. After meeting eligibility based upon my contract/terms to have my vehicle repaired, I experienced a 2 week repair experience that had me rack up a $1300 car rental bill due to the Insurance Company that CarChex is in business with. This company (American Auto-Shield) short-change you on what you are paying for (ie. not approving labor/inspection for a repair). How can you expect a technician to assess a repair in 10-15 minutes? I had to basically advocate for myself in getting communication between my car dealership and the company by getting up at the crack of dawn everyday (mind you I have a job) and by the time communication was made, the payment to my dealership was declined 2X. That's right, my car dealership would not release my repaired vehicle to me because the form of payment was declined twice!

    I am cancelling my plan effective immediately and warn you that my service tech at my dealership, said in all his years, he never dealt with a company like CARCHEX/American Auto Shield in how they conducted business. Buyer beware! Oh, and they have not heard the last of me, as I am taking legal action to recoup the cost of my rental that I had to have from July 15-Aug. 4th, 2020.

We read people had a bigger issue with the 1,000 miles and the prices were comparable. The rep I talked to was nice but I didn't like that when you call in, they give you a price, and it's a haggling thing. If it's a product that's across the board, there should be a set price for that. But if you're face-to-face at a secondhand store type of thing or buying a car, that's different. So that sort of going back and forth was a little time-consuming. The rep would put me on hold, say that he'd talk to his manager, then he'd say that his manager was texting him.

    The person who I received help from was very detailed, gave me really good information as far as if I didn't get CARCHEX, the out of pocket expenses that I would have, and just telling me why he thought it was a good idea. After researching that information, it was actually true. I felt that because he was honest with me and gave me accurate information, that made me want to use Carchex as my extended warranty. I know that once I am able to use it, it's gonna save me a lot of money so it will be worth the monthly payment that I'll have to pay, and then it'll be worth the deductible that I'll be paying. At the end, I will come out on top. So far, so good. I'm still within the 30 days and mileage before I can use it but I haven't had any problems.

    I’ve had my truck for so long and I got another truck. Since I never had any major maintenance done on it, probably sooner or later there’s gonna be that major maintenance that I didn't really want to take care of because I didn't have to. I found everything online and Carchex was at the top of the list, so I called them. I was happy with what I heard because recently, I had USAA when I had my car and then, they transferred over to somebody else. It was hard for me to get ahold of the other people to see if they even passed that information over to my other truck.

    The enrollment process with Carchex was very easy and something I liked were the discounts. I learned to see everything I was getting into. I had up to 30 days to cancel so, I’m waiting on my mother to send me the actual paperwork. I saw some of the stuff online but my mother is supposed to send me the paperwork since I live in Texas because I'm in the military. But my truck stays by her at her house and it's under shelter. She drives it maybe once every three weeks, just down the road and back.

    The rep from Carchex explained everything as far as I’m supposed to know. He said that the engine, the transmission, the differential and small major parts are covered. So, I understood most of that but I’d rather read all the package information so I know what’s covered. Everything was explained fairly well to me but I wanna go for more detail. That'd be something more on my own that I should be dealing with. They covered the basic things that I knew and if my mother was to talk to him, she would understand everything that's going on and feel comfortable, which was the way I felt as well.

    The purchasing process was pretty good and easy. Steven, the representative, was very helpful. It's just that I'm curious. I bought my warranty from CARCHEX, and I think they sell it to another warranty provider, so I don't know how that works. I hope that when or if something goes wrong eventually, I'm able to make the claim because sometimes I hear these horror stories of people not being able to make claims. I guess until that happens, I would know how good or bad it is.

    A competitor was out of state and they recommended me to Carchex. Carchex is in California. The sales representative was pretty good, polite, and he gave a lot of informative information. There was just one thing I didn't understand. I knew about the 30 days before the start, but I did not know that I had to have both 30 days and 1,000 miles. They failed to mention that at first until the time I have paid. Making payment was easy. It was automatically coming out of my checking account. However, I would rather have it paper. My wife is my accountant and she wants to see it physically rather than taking it out and sending the payment in. But I guess that’s the only way that Carchex can do that. I was just trying to find out if they can just send the bill and I pay the bill.

    I'm old school and I have insurance for everything. I find it to be beneficial rather than have to deplete $500 in one moment unexpectedly on a mechanic bill. I talked to another warranty company and was already thinking about singing, but I happened to talk to the Carchex rep next on the list. He said that I should check BBB out before going with anybody and what he told me was correct regarding the things that their competitors had in terms of complaints and some of the things that they did to persuade their customers to sign up.

    Carchex has a good salesman and he says all the right things and doesn't pressure you. He was very thorough, professional, and laid back. I didn't like to be pushed and somewhat threatened which I got with some of their competitors. But at the end of the day, what really counts is service. I haven't used them yet but I'm satisfied as far as what I've experienced thus far. The Carchex rep just said that I would just take the vehicle in and they would call us and as long as we had done our due diligence and maintenance or kept the records and so forth, we would not have any issues. They would take care of it and I'd just cover the deductible.

    I wanted an extended warranty but after paying for it had to cancel it for an emergency that was in my family. They refunded my payment right away. Getting the extended warranty was made so easy because of J **. He was wonderful to work with. I had an extended warranty before with Carchex. They were excellent in paying for a couple of repairs on my 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe. And because I told my car dealer I had an oil leak, and they found a leaking gasket as well as a broken oil sending unit, I only had to pay the deductible once because they were both oil leaks. Afterwards they replaced my ABS brakes. The extended warranty saved me thousands of dollars.

    Original Review: Aug. 1, 2020

    After paying for 2 policy down payments an emergency came up in my family. I emailed Feguson to cancel my policies. He canceled. Then I asked about 6 or 7 days ago if he could refund my down payment. He never got back to me. Please return it to the debit card it was drawn on. Otherwise I will have no choice but to notify my bank.

    I talked to CARCHEX's reps a couple of times when I was comparing programs. At first, the price they gave me was a fair amount more than what I was being given at the dealership. The reps then really came down on their price. They were among the best priced and they were tied with what I was offered at the dealership which was another warranty with an A-plus rating. They also had an AMAC recommendation which swayed things for me. The whom I worked with knew what he was talking about.

    The agent at Carchex was great but I no longer want the policy and I can't get ahold of anybody to cancel it. They have put in fine print that they will not cover anything. So, I'm gonna pay for something that I won't be able to use. Once I got the contract and read it, I realized it sucks. It looks good when you're hearing about it but once you get in there and read the contract, it's worthless. People don't read the contract and don't understand. They pay for something but then their car doesn't break anyway, so they don't really need it. But once you get down where you need the coverage, you'll never cover anything because there's always a loophole to get out of it.

    According to the contract, if a part fails and they can determine that that caused the other failure of a covered part, then the part that isn't covered voids the warranty for the part that is covered. Carchex won't cover pre-existing conditions. The vehicle has got 230,000 miles on the rig and it's gonna have pre-existing conditions. So, they will have everything on there. One of the stipulations says that if you don't maintain the vehicle, then it won't be covered. Another is if a mechanic recommends to get this fixed, they won't cover that either until the catastrophic failure happens.

    Diesels are very well known for having a blow-by and the only way to fix a blow-by is to do piston rings and they won't cover piston rings. If I had a bad valve or bad piston ring, I have to pay for that and that's gonna be a $4,000 fix but they won't cover that. And if I don't pay for that, then a catastrophic thing happens, they won't cover that either. So, I don't want this policy. I don't know how Carchex is BBB rated and people saying they are great. It's a rip-off. I just want my money back, then I'm good.

    I've called numerous times. I've been on hold for an hour and a half and no one would answer. I've emailed the guy that sold me the policy and I've called him with his extension number as well and left numerous voicemails, and he wouldn't get back to me. The only people that I can get ahold of is sales and they can't do anything. I'll try to get ahold of them again. I hope I get this policy cancelled. I've sent emails and I have proof that I'm trying to get it done before the 30 days. So I hope they don't fight with me about that.

The dealer went through her car, they called her back like they said they would and gave her a rental car. It was no hassle. They told her how long it will take. It was done so smoothly. There were no hiccups, no wait or anything. I liked that kind of customer service and that was what made me say that I could do this with CARCHEX.

    I needed a warranty on my 2016 BMW and I was told by someone there that Carchex gives good warranties on BMWs. The rep was cool although he overcharged me. I should've been paying $50 less a month because the other people that have the same thing that I have pay $50 less but it’s alright.

    I just bought an old car from my son so I wanted to have coverage in case we needed it. I have a 15-year-old car Honda Civic and considering its age, a vehicle protection plan is valuable. Apparently, you can run them into the ground. So that's what I plan on. Carchex covers cars with a little higher mileage than some of the other plans and the car has a lot of miles on it. Plus, it seemed from the customer reviews that they were good. The rep was great. I had a lot of questions and he went through them all bit by bit with me.

    I wanted to make sure my car has proper care when I'm on the road. When I Googled, I asked what the best warranty is. The first one was somebody else then CARCHEX was the second. I chose the first one but they didn’t give me a good rate. Then CARCHEX was willing to compromise and work with me and that was what made me went with them. The representative was patient, responsive, and gave me all the details on what they do and what’s the best choice for me. He made it flow like he made me feel comfortable with the options that I have. Overall, CARCHEX is a good company.

    I needed a protection plan because I bought a used car and I wanted to make sure that within the three years if something would happen, I’d be able to get my car fixed and not come too much out of my pocket. The price for a plan from another company was pretty low, but they wouldn't give me what I wanted. Then somebody from Carchex called me and their price was better. The guy I talked to was pretty good. When I talking to these salespeople, they will try to pressure you on the phone right then and there. I didn’t get that from him. He explained everything about the coverage that I wanted. Signing up with them was great. I wanted three years and over 30,000 miles coverage and Carchex gave me three years, 45. It was just maybe a little slightly more than what I paid with the other company but Carchex gave me more.

    Updated review: July 16, 2020

    I received a personal phone call from the director of customer service with an apology. The policy was updated to reflect the correct mileage.

    Original Review: July 7, 2020

    Unfortunately I entered into a contract with false advertisement. The mileage recorded on my policy was not correct which I think was intentionally done considering it was recorded as something higher meaning I will reach the expiration mileage sooner and when I pointed it out to the company PRIOR to the 30 days to policy going into effect I was told it would be corrected and I would receive a new declaration showing such. After having my first claims this conversation came up only to find out the situation was never corrected and I have emails stating they would do so. All I get is excuses and basically them telling me it is not easy to correct without jumping thru hoops. Do no trust these people. They will sell you a contract with 36,000 miles and then issue a policy with the mileage further in the future. The mileage under consideration is not massive but it is about policy. This is false advertisement and buyer beware.

    I decided to get Carchex because I had purchased a used vehicle with low mileage. I would consider it a luxury vehicle, so I wanted to make sure I have protection just in case anything breaks down, especially in these times where things are uncertain. I chose Carchex because when I was at the place where I purchased the car, I’ve seen that they had extended warranties on things like boats and I inquired about it. The guy there gave me a printout. Carchex was the printout that he gave me and it was only that person. So I had called around and I called CarShield. But the package that Carchex had was just great for the price.

    The guy who helped me out and answered all my questions was very thorough and straightforward. He tried to see if he could give me any discounts. In these times where things are uncertain, the price that he originally found for my vehicle was a little extreme. He put me on with his boss, and they negotiated the price. They helped me get it down by at least $80, which helped out a lot. However, I was told that I would get an email of the policy that I signed up for with everything in it. But I never got the email. I was also told that they will be sending one by mail, which I haven't received yet. I just gave that to maybe it was the Fourth of July so things were pushed back a little bit. But I signed up for the service on the 29th of June. I was gonna call the representative that I spoke to back and see what's going on with that.

I figured it would be better to get something in place that would protect me over a longer period of time. CARCHEX had the best reviews from all of the providers that I've seen and the kind of widest types of coverage as well. Purchasing the protection plan was pretty simple. I had a phone call a couple of weeks beforehand and gave details of my car and a quote was given for different options. Then, I picked the option that I preferred a few days ago. The representatives could've been better. I just felt like the conversation was slightly rushed. I was asking a lot of questions and I felt that maybe the rep just wanted to get through the call.

    We were looking at extended warranty people online. Carchex came up as one of the better-rated ones. CarShield was one of the other ones but some friends of ours have CarShield and they have been running into some issues with finally making a claim. I didn't want to go that same route so I reached out to a few individuals in companies, and Carchex' individuals had called me and answered the questions. I didn't purchase anything right off the bat. I continued looking, but at the same time, gave my husband enough time to do his own research and making sure that he was happy with the purchase.

    I talked to Steve from Carchex and I had 3 different conversations with him and letting him know what I was wanting. He would come back with, “Hey, we had a sale. Can I interest you in this?” I was getting ready to call him myself and tell him we got a green light to move forward and he was actually calling me to say that he had even more of a discount than he was offering. I figured that was probably a good sign and a good deal as far as moving forward with it. He made a comment of being able to pretty much use anybody if I had a claim. The options of choosing somebody were more availability to me rather than you can only use A, B and C people.

    My biggest concerns were some of the luxury electronics because in previous model vehicles I've had those go out and didn't have coverage. Those were some of the things I wanted to make sure that if it happened again, I had something to cover those. Steve was able to give me quotes for those. I had also written down the highlights of what Carchex offers versus other people's and I'm fairly understanding of what it was that I was signing into.

    Thank you for your review. According to our records, this review was placed the same day as you purchased the coverage for your 2008 Dodge Avenger with CARCHEX. At this time, your coverage remains active as we do not show any calls or requests to cancel your coverage. We will have someone reach out to to discuss cancellation. Additionally, you may call us at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002 for further assistance.

    In the meantime, we are happy to address your general concerns.

    At the time of purchase, we advise all of our customers the coverage does not cover pre-existing issues and we provide a 30 day money back guarantee to coincide with the 30 Day money back guarantee to ensure you have time to review the coverage and determine if it meats your needs.

    With regards to your friends contract, we do not know which customer you are referring to so we cannot speak specifically to this claim denial by the contract administrator. However, we can speak to the process and how an administrator would determine a timing chain failure to be pre-existing.

    If a claim is filed early into coverage for an internal engine repair, the administrator may require tear down to the point of failure and request an independent 3rd party inspection to verify and document the failures for review. The inspection would include many photos of the vehicle and the professional opinion of the inspector as to the cause and timing of the failure.

    The administrator may also consider prior maintenance records and the data reported by your vehicle's computer which may show when any check engine light occurred. Any claims decision to deny the failure for pre-existing would be based on the collection of all of these materials.

    When you purchase with CARCHEX, we do have the ability to request the information from the contract administrator and review it to help assist with the claim. If we do not believe the documentation supports the decision, we do submit the claim for review and attempt to have it overturned on behalf of our customers.

    If your friend would like to discuss the claim, please have them call us at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002. If you wish to cancel, please call us well.

IT had been several months since I heard anything and I was wondering what happened. I called the customer service number and it seemed that there was always an excuse (COVID-19 – I FULLY RESPECT THIS AND HOW THEY HANDLED THEIR EMPLOYEES) but I also kept getting next Friday, next Friday and so on about the refund.


    Original Review: June 19, 2020

    On March 20, 2020 I canceled contract - vehicle sold. Waited until June 2, 2020 to follow up. Told refund would take 45 to 60 days from March 20! Still waiting. REFUSED to supply their legal dept info.

    I wanted something to protect my Jeep. Initially I was Googling a company advertised all the time. I almost signed up with them but I read some bad reviews about them. I said, “Let me look up the top ones.” CARCHEX was at the top of reviews. I read that people were really praising it. I called up, and I was grilling Phil, the rep. I said, “I see the other one advertised all the time, but you guys aren’t advertising.” He said, “We gave up ads and depend on word-of-mouth.” That was impressive. I asked about all my concerns, and then from that, he garnered what I was looking for. The price seemed reasonable, 220 a month for two years. That wasn’t too bad. I got the 1,000 miles and a month from the date that I signed up. I only have to pay for two years but I’m covered for five. Phil also let me know that I could renew, so that was a thing.

    The only problem I’ve had so far is, and Phil apologized for this, my name is Kathaleen, not Kathleen. I will always emphasize this because people like to correct it for me and remove the A. But I got the contract and it says Kathleen. When I called, the second Phil heard my voice, he goes, “I remember you, because Kathaleen.” I was like, “You didn’t seem to remember when you did the contract.” But Phil was friendly and he answered the questions that I wanted to know.

    CARCHEX was the only one that would give out an extended warranty to my vehicle. The person who got me set up was very informative. I was also grateful he was able to find the lowest price possible. But there was a question I was trying to figure out. I meant to ask the rep when I was purchasing the warranty but it didn't come to me until later. I was gonna try to get ahold of him for a minute. I left a message and I still haven't heard back from him yet. My question was mostly about when the car goes to the shop to get repaired. Do I pay the deductible up front or when the repairs are finished?

    On - 05/22/2020-At 12:27pm... I called and spoke with Michael **/CSR. I specifically told him I wanted to purchase the: Carchex Care By Royal- Silver plan. Which included: Seals and Gaskets. Amt: $3997.00. But, he sold me the: Royal Admin Services - Centennial plan. I have called and emailed Michael multiple times and he only called And left a voicemail one time about some turbo/super charger, which I never spoke to him about, because my CTS doesn’t have this feature on it. I even included the CEO on one email.

    I need this contract rewritten with the correct Provider and mailed to me and updated in your database, so I don’t have problems if I go to the dealership for repairs. Micheal guaranteed/assured me there wouldn’t be any issues, due to I’m a cancer survivor and I can’t be under stress. But, then this happens???? I don’t want to report this behavior to the Better Business Bureau.

    Thanks

    Agent lied about everything in the contract..when I discovered he lied in the pre contract and tried to call the agent wouldn’t answer my calls. I had to put bad reviews on every Website including BBB. Then the district manager called and tried to correct the problem but the damage was done. I cancelled and got my money back.. stay away. These guys are crooks.

    Thank you for your review and taking the time to discuss your coverage with us. As we discussed, your contract, our Titanium Plus plan, automatically included all option coverage options including the Market Labor rate option, Luxury Electronics, and Emissions add-ons.

    The Market Labor Rate Option is added to cover the labor rate with repair shops who charge more than $100 per hour.

    While we regret our coverage did not meet your needs, we are glad you were able to utilize the 30 day money back guarantee and cancel for a full refund. Your refund was issued to your account 5/27/2020.

    If you have any additional questions or concerns, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    We decided we're gonna keep our car. Car repairs are very expensive, so I wanted to be covered. We signed up with CARCHEX due to the price and mileage they allowed. I'd tell others, “I thought I got a pretty good deal compared to the others I had already talked to.”

    I went online, looking at warranty services and trying to see which ones I could find for my car. CARCHEX was one of the ones I did find. I called them and priced out what I could. I had already planned on making the purchase but then I got really busy. Then they called me back about a month later and said they were having a deal which dropped their premium down. The guy talked to me and then set me up with his boss. They gave me a better price quote than they did originally and it was cheap. So I did it at the spur of the moment.

    The customer service was great, especially when compared to my actual Kia warranty. They had called me and proceeded to tell me that it was the last call and that they had given me multiple notifications, which they didn’t. I told the rep that I hadn't gotten anything from them and that I have been trying to find a warranty but I wasn't sure how much it would cost. She proceeded to tell me that it was gonna be $300 a month. I said I would have to talk to my mother if I could have her help me because I have so limited hours to even be able to afford that. And she just hung up the phone on me. Then CARCHEX called me. I was like, “Oh, okay. Looks like I’m going to CARCHEX then.” CARCHEX also doesn't try to hide anything. They do go into detail when you ask and they’re very clear on what their warranty covers and how much it is.

    The warranty on my vehicle expired so I needed to get a replacement for it. Carchex ranked higher among all of the other warranty companies based on the research and the information I was given. Having a protection plan is very valuable because you just never know what happens with your vehicle, especially being a high mileage and older vehicle. But I would love to have a warranty that literally would cover anything that would happen to your car. So if it is engine-related problem, everything related to the engine and not just certain parts of the engine are covered.

    Purchasing the coverage was a positive one. My only concern is I have two vehicles and I’m very particular in regards to when I want to do something. I specifically wanted to make sure that my first vehicle was covered first and then my second vehicle was covered second. But when I got the emails, it was wrong because it had my husband’s name first, his vehicle, and then mine. I was very specific for that not to happen, and yet it still happened. That was just a bad taste in my mouth, but they were able to fix it right away before anything was sent to me in regards to the contract. I also had to call a second time because of the waiting period was incorrect. It was correct for my husband but not for mine. I received the contract for my husband yesterday. I still haven't received mine.
