    The representative was very helpful in explaining my options to me. My only question concerns the waiting period for the coverage to become effective. I was unaware that the waiting period consisted of 30 days and 1,000 miles until I received the written contract.

    They do a great job of making you feel great parting with thousands of dollars for a warranty that looks great on paper. What they don't tell you is THEY do not provide this warranty. They farm you out to one of those companies that have the seriously negative reviews. We ended up with American Auto Shield. We had to make a serious claim shortly after the warranty went into effect, and here it is over three weeks later and still no work has even started on our vehicle. It also turns out that they do not ever replace parts with "genuine" parts (in our case Porsche), they source used (even when there is a known issue with the part, also happened in our case), refurbished, then off-brand parts.

    Only in the rare case when none of these options are found will they (maybe?) approve the repair with the genuine part. We will never find out since we chose to cancel vise deal with the pain of this claim process further on this claim, much less any more. Every single call to check on the status of the claim, not exaggerating, lasted at 20 minutes of hold time, often going over an hour. After all this trouble and still nothing to show for it, CARCHEX is CHARGING us to cancel AND not giving us a full refund. I will never deal with an extended warranty ever again. I would not trust these people with your money or your vehicle.

    Response from CARCHEX

    Thank you for your review. We apologize for the frustration you have experienced with your claim and have addressed this matter with the contract administrator. They are currently experiencing staffing issues that they are working to resolve.

    While the amount of hold time and delays is 100% unacceptable, we show the claim filed 9 days into active coverage, requiring a proper diagnosis and inspection of the failures to your transfer case and brake systems, is in the process of being approved. Most customers see the value in having several thousand dollars paid out in the first few months of coverage but we understand that your time is very important to you.

    With regards to your contract concerns and claims that CARCHEX did not fully disclose the terms of your coverage, we are happy to address this.

    According to our records, you purchased coverage for a 2009 Porsche Cayenne on 1/23/2019. After several conversations with our staff where discounts and additional miles were requested, you purchased the coverage online via our CARCHEX Direct Portal. The CARCHEX Direct portal clearly states the name of the contract administrator and provides a sample contract that also states the contract is administered by a 3rd party.

    On 1/31/2019, you contacted the CARCHEX Customer Loyalty Department to cancel this coverage because you traded in the 2009 Porsche Cayenne for a 2012 Porsche Cayenne. Our team assisted you with cancellation of the coverage, set up new coverage for the 2012 Porsche, and applied your FULL refund to the new contract.

    On this call, our representative read you a required purchase summary word for word and advised you American Auto Shield was the administrator of the coverage. Our representative advised you of the cancellation policy including the 30 day money back guarantee and pro-rated refund due after 30 days. You were advised to read your contract including the coverage, maintenance requirements, and exclusions to ensure the coverage meets your needs. After this summary, you agreed to the terms of the purchase.

    A confirmation of purchase was emailed to you with a digital copy of the coverage and a Hard Copy of the coverage was mailed to you as well. Both contracts clearly state the policy approves claims with parts of Like, Kind and Quality and can include OEM, Aftermarket, re-manufactured, or used parts at the administrator's discretion. Like, Kind, and Quality requires the administrator to approve parts that meet the manufacturers OEM specification and typically include a minimum of a 12 months parts and labor warranty.

    The contract administrator advised if you do not wish to use the like, kind, and quality parts, you may choose to have the approved amount applied towards the costs of the repair using the preferred parts. According to the records, you advised the administrator you would prefer to just cancel the coverage. The claim is now administratively closed at your request.

    In the meantime, cancellation instructions have been emailed to you by our Customer Loyalty team. Upon receipt of your written request to cancel, a pro-rated refund will be calculated based on the time/miles under coverage. Because you paid for your coverage in full, the majority of your money will be refunded to you based on the limited time and miles under coverage.

    If you have any additional questions or would prefer to keep the coverage on the 2012 Porsche Cayenne, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    I bought an older model vehicle in cash and I wanted to get some more coverage for it. I had chosen another provider but they still haven’t sent me any paperwork that they said they were going to. On the other hand, CARCHEX matched the same thing and added some extra things. I just received my package in the mail that they said I will receive, and it explained all the coverage. The sales rep was good. He was knowledgeable and got me a bunch of discounts. I set up the payment plan. When I was looking at other companies, I googled who was the best and then I saw Endurance which came up as number one. But then they wanted me to pay outright. They were lump sum within a certain amount of time, and I didn’t like that.

    When the factory warranty on my vehicle ran out, I wanted to get extra protection. I mostly wanted to have the engine coverage. I was not gonna use a vehicle protection plan ever again, because of my experience though. I had a few claims and they didn't cover some of the things that went wrong. It was a learning experience and this time, I went on ConsumerAffairs and checked which extended warranty was the best, which was how I got connected with CARCHEX. The purchasing process, from when I started, took two weeks. My interactions with their reps were very good. He was very friendly and helpful. Plus, he wasn’t very pushy and I was able to take my car and check around. With the last extended warranty, the dealer almost forced me into buying it, which really turned me off.

    Original Review: March 31, 2019

    The initial experience with CARCHEX was fine. They answered all my questions to the best of their ability. However, there were certain things that they did not offer and I wanted to cancel the policy. I've only had them for four days and I'm not trying to use another policy. But the way they go about their cancellation of having to write a letter in and doing all of that stuff seems silly when you can sign up and do it over the phone. They clearly have the technology because they can sign me up like that, so it's a matter of making it more difficult for people to cancel.

    CARCHEX
    Response from CARCHEX

    Thank you for your review. While we understand your frustration, once the coverage is active and sent to the insurer, all cancellations require written notification from the contract holder. There have been too many instances in the Vehicle Service Contract industry where a customer has called after a verbal request to cancel to start a major claim and said that was not them on the call. These instances usually end up in litigation.

    To avoid this from escalating into legal matters, the insurers of the Vehicle Service Contracts began requiring a written request. This is the standard in the industry.

    In review of your call with our staff, we did advise you to reply to our cancellation email with your request to expedite the cancellation as a courtesy.

    Please reply to the email with the required information and we will process your request. If you have any questions about this, please give us a call.

    I bought a used vehicle and ended up looking at CARCHEX after reading bad reviews about the company that came up as number one. I asked the CARCHEX guy 10,000 questions in five different ways, and I liked what he told me so I went with them. He answered all my questions. He was very professional and personable. His name was Ryan. I don’t remember people’s names but I remember his so that shows how much of an impression he made on me. He was a wonderful guy. It took me three days to make a decision and I asked him to not bug me, and to call me back in a day or so. Then the second time we spoke, I told him I hadn’t made my decision yet. And then he waited two more days and called me back, and then I made decision. He was very patient.

    The only thing I didn’t like about the CARCHEX warranty was the fact that they didn’t have a 36-month financing plan like some of the other companies do. And $150 a month is high. But I have to have the warranty with a used vehicle so I just knuckled under, and I just have to do a little extra work. I spent $10,000 on the truck and it's very valuable having the warranty for if anything happens to it. If its engine burns up tomorrow, I don’t necessarily have the $3,000 or $4,000 to put a new engine in it. That’s where the warranty comes in. I told my parents to buy a warranty with CARCHEX too.

    Original Review: March 28, 2019

    I purchased an extended warranty via Carchex for my 2005 Mercedes. I was told the warranty I purchased covered quite a bit. Even says in the paperwork it covers my fuel system. However when something else, like an electrical issue going to the fuel system ruins the fuel system, they denied covering my fuel system repair because electrical isn't covered. I also have some engine issues they won't cover that are "pre-existing". Not sure how they determined that. Bottom line, I thought I got a good extended warranty, unfortunately they were only good at taking my money but not covering anything found wrong with my car via the Mercedes dealership. So I cancelled my warranty coverage with them. I will say they were very helpful in cancelling it via phone.

    Thank you for your review. We have reviewed your claims info and will address your concerns.

    According to our records, you purchased coverage on 12/12/2018 with 86492 miles on your 2005 Mercedes Benz CLK500. Your policy included a standard 30 Day & 1000 mile waiting period before any claims could be called in.

    Your repair shop reported multiple failures including fuel sensors, a valve cover gasket, shocks, rear main seal, and thrust arm bushings. The shop reported the odometer reading at the time of the claim as 87,227 or 735 miles from purchase.

    Because the vehicle had not been driven 1000 miles, the claim was denied appropriately in accordance with the terms and conditions of your coverage.

    At this time, your policy is cancelled per your request. Please give us a call is you have any additional questions about this matter. We can be reached at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    I bought a car and we had a 30-day dealer’s warranty on it. Eventually, it expired so I had to purchase an extended warranty. I called and they gave me an idea of what the company is about. I paid them $125. They took it and they sent me a confirmation e-mail. However, I'm thinking about not going forth with CARCHEX because they have not disclosed me what's covered and what's not. I got the Titanium. The protection specialist told me what kind of plan it was but he didn’t break down exactly what it covered. I have not received anything and it's been a week.

    I bought a 180,000-mile vehicle and I needed a warranty since the vehicle didn't come with a factory warranty. I got Endurance first, but then I read that they have a policy and they only pay what the car is worth. With CARCHEX, they pay what the car is worth and up to $15,000, which is a way better deal. The salesman who talked to me was very enthusiastic. I didn’t want to buy from them at first, but he got me to buy the product. Knowing I have a warranty, I have peace of mind. They are also flexible with payments. I told the reps that I wouldn’t be able to pay for the next month and they said it was okay. I could just pay in May and there will be no extra fees.

I went with an insurer that was connected to the dealership. So it was the brand’s insurance. Nonetheless, my experience with the CARCHEX rep was quite good. He seemed like a good guy.

Purchasing the plan was extremely easy. I knew what I wanted and I just needed to negotiate a price. Also, their rep did very well.

    I purchased a brand new 2019 Ford F-150 and Ford only offered me a three-year, 36,000 miles warranty. They were much too expensive to get anything further than that. So, I was trying to search for something that was gonna be a bit more affordable for me as far as payment-wise. I would reach 36,000 miles sooner versus later, and I wanna have that support and some extra protection on the vehicle. The warranty that I can afford was a 60,000-mile one and that one there was 28 hundred bucks. I did sign up for it, but then I went back and canceled it.

    There was this one company that I checked on and I spoke with a guy who was very nice, but I read some bad reviews that they were a scam and that they weren't gonna cover what they said. They refunded my money, which was a good thing and I was happy about that. Then, I did another company called Endurance but I had a bad experience with them. So then, I did a little more research and CARCHEX popped up. They were the third best warranty to get. I read some reviews and a lot of people were pleased, and whatever parts they needed covered were covered. I'm a big review person and the reviews made me choose CARCHEX. It made me feel comfortable to go ahead and give them a chance.

    I got a good price from CARCHEX. I paid them the money and it has been a week since I made a purchase from them. The rep who I dealt with at CARCHEX was very nice and informative. He took his time and took care of my concerns. He also informed me that they cover emission parts, which a lot of warranty places do not. He went through everything and also informed me that Endurance company is no longer recognized by the Better Business Bureau. So, he was glad that I didn't go with Endurance. He ensured me that if I ever have a problem, to call him directly because he is my representative. I recommend CARCHEX, although I'm getting a little leery because I still haven't received any kind of welcome package. The rep said it would take two days to get the package. I'm hoping I would get the package soon.

    When I googled CARCHEX, they had good reviews. Purchasing extended coverage from them was simple, but the price was a bit above than what I wanted. I went online, read about it and then I called. The rep had great customer service skills. He didn’t put other companies down, which was a plus for me. I called one company prior that day and they were constantly putting down other companies. I wasn’t interested in hearing about other companies. I wanted to hear about the company I was purchasing from. He made it easy for me. A vehicle protection plan is valuable these days. My car has a lot of electronics in it. And when you start to talk about electronics, the price could get really costly. Plus, you never know what to expect nowadays.

    I was looking at extended coverage and Carchex was the first one I called. I usually call several and do some comparing and then make a decision, but the reps were pushy so I ended up signing up. In addition to that, they told me it was bumper-to-bumper and my version of bumper-to-bumper is different than theirs, and that was confusing. After I hung up, I had to speak with other people to verify what I was up against and what I should do. In fact, when I talked to auto mechanics, they didn’t seem to think that Carchex is gonna cover what they said they would.

    When I started reading, it started telling things that it didn’t cover, and it was stuff that should have been under bumper-to-bumper. The person at Carchex made it clear to me that it covered everything except for regular maintenance. But when it came right down to it, it was more than just regular maintenance that it didn’t cover. I asked him when I called back, and he told me it's because it's an extended warranty bumper-to-bumper. But he did not differentiate between the two, and I have never heard of a difference between the two. In my book, if it's bumper-to-bumper, it's bumper-to-bumper except for routine maintenance, your tires or your windshield wipers. Everything else, it should cover and Carchex does not.

    Thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, we reviewed all of your calls with our staff. We appreciate every opportunity to improve our services.

    In review of your calls, you spoke with our sales staff. Our staff offered you the highest level of coverage, our Titanium Plus Exclusionary coverage with all of the optional coverage options included. You expressed concerns about the pricing being on a fixed income so our Sales Manager provided additional discounts to help lower the cost.

    You expressed concerns about being on an Autopay so the coverage was set up with the remaining payments on Invoicing. This would allow you to mail in payments or go online to make your payments. our staff properly advised you of the coverage, read a full summary of the coverage, and reminded you of the 30 day money back guarantee. You agreed to the terms of the coverage and provided your payment info.

    There were (3) additional calls to Customer Loyalty Department requesting to cancel. On the first cal 3/4/2019, you expressed the cost of the contract was too expensive and our staff was able to discount the coverage further to help assist you. You agreed to keep coverage.

    The next day, you called again to cancel because of the exclusions listed in the contract. Our representative reviewed the contract with you, addressed every concern, and spent 30 minutes explaining the coverage and answering all of your questions. Again you agreed to keep the coverage.

    On 3/18/2019, we received your 3rd call to cancel. You advised us that your son said you should not buy the coverage and this was an unnecessary expense. Our representative sent you the cancellation instructions and assisted you with your cancellation. We received you written request to cancel and processed a full refund back to your credit card today, 3/19/19.

    We are sorry to see you cancel but we understand your reasoning. CARCHEX was up front with you every step of the way, we offered the highest level of coverage possible for your 2008 Mazda Tribute, and assisted you at every opportunity.

So I am gonna keep my vehicle longer and I want to make sure it is protected. I shopped around with a couple of different companies and did a bit of research and CARCHEX was the better route for me even if it was a bit more expensive. The CARCHEX rep was fantastic. She followed up all the time and was on top of it. Everything went really well. Having a vehicle protection plan is extremely valuable. God forbid your engine or a transmission blows and that's not a cheap fix. So I got a coverage to avoid any unexpected bombs of repair. With Carchex, you can get one online and it’s a very simple process.

    I bought a car coverage for my daughter. It's for an older vehicle. I bought the coverage for her so that she'd have something to repair her car in case it had mechanical problems. She planned on keeping it for several years, and she'll have 150,000 on it by then, and I won't have to pay for expensive repairs. I read on the internet about the top choices and CARCHEX was one of them. They had one of the better prices.

    Also, the representatives were fairly clear. However, the whole thing was kind of a pricing game so they lowered their prices each time I called and they finally wouldn't. And then, I was trying to watch quality with price. I ended up trying to get the best policy and the longest warranty with the best company for the price. The terms of the plan are good. $2,000 is not chicken feed, but considering what it would cost to repair an engine or a transmission nowadays, it wasn't that much money.

    Given the nature of my car, something could go wrong with it and it could be expensive. I also got emails about warranties all the time and I decided to look into it. CARCHEX was one of those people that reached out to me, so I talked to them. I also looked online a little bit about them and I liked what I read. Then reading their contract and so forth, it all seemed solid. So, I decided to purchase from them. I ended up with a plan that pretty much covers the car except for the obvious things that it doesn’t cover. The rep who assisted me was good and he answered a bunch of my questions. When I really pressed for some details, he brought on his manager who answered the few questions that he couldn’t or maybe he just brought his manager in to close the deal.

    Even after the fact, I poked around a little bit more about CARCHEX and it's sort of a mixed bag. As with anything you look on, there were people complaining about them but I'm kind of used to that mixed bag, so I'm hoping that they're for real and that things will work out. So far, I haven't seen how the warranty actually works if I ever need it but I'm happy with them.

    One of the worst companies to deal with and I am so glad that I decided to cancel my warranty plan. They're super fast to get you a warranty, set up interest free payment plans and get your credit card info for the first payment. DO NOT GET CAUGHT! Hold time for sales - 0.5 seconds. Hold time for customer service - No one picks up most of the time and they have you leave a message and never call you back. Try for yourself if you don't believe me. They have about 10 times more people for sales than for customer service. It tells you how much you're worth to them after you purchase. And here's the cancellation process after you purchase directly from the email I got.

    "Below are the instructions for canceling the Vehicle Protection Plan on your... Please write a letter including all of the requested information below and mail to: Attention: CARCHEX Processing Department 118 Shawan Road Suite 210 Baltimore MD, 21030. Cancellation Requests Must Include: Today’s Date. First and Last Name. Address. Vehicle Year, Make, and Model. Vin Number. Cancellation Odometer Reading. Contract #. Select one of the Following Reasons: A. Vehicle Sold or Traded (Please include Bill of Sale or Trade in Documentation). B. Repossession/Theft/Total Loss (Please include Total Loss Documentation or Police Report). C. Coverage Didn’t Meet Needs. D. Too Expensive. E. Claims Dispute. Customer Signature. Please note that cancellations are processed based on the terms of the vehicle service contract. If there is a refund due, please allow 45-60 days for the refund to be processed."

    Seriously? Write a letter to that address for a cancellation? We're living in 2019 and they process their cancellations through mail only! I could only imagine trying to get a claim through these guys. Do a bit of research for yourself and read some of the reviews people give their providers. The one I got was "American Auto Shield". You do not get your warranty through Carchex. They just sell contracts. I would stay away from this company. Their business model is set up around persuasive sales, extreme tight policies with wording that give them enough leverage to deny most claims and worst customer service.

And we just didn't wanna have any problems creep up that we couldn't easily get fixed for her, so we looked into getting an extended coverage. I've never bought it before because being at home, if we have vehicle issues, my husband can easily go take care of things and get things fixed. But with my daughter, living a couple of hours away, we just wanted to have an easier way to say, "Just go take it and have somebody take care of this." It's a preventative measure simply because she's in college, and it's not as easy for my husband just to drop everything and drive three hours away to take care of some mechanical issue that may come up.

    We talked to five different places and CARCHEX has the best price that we found. I filled out an online thing that ended up saying what my interest was and then, Chris, their rep, called me within the next day. He went over some pricing options and different package levels. And then, I told him that I don't make decisions right away, so I asked him if he could email stuff. He emailed me everything. I went over it with my son-in-law and my husband. And then, I asked him to call back another day, so he called back another day and then we ended up doing it.

    He was not pushy. He was very informative. What I don't like in salespeople is when they tell me I have to make a decision today, or the price is gonna change, and he wasn't like that at all. He was like, "take your time. This is the information." And he emailed it all to me to make sure that I had it right, instead of writing things down wrong. He was great.

    I was already with a different extended coverage provider and I wasn’t satisfied with the service so, I switched over to Carchex. I read up some reviews and they had some good ones. Their customer service was pretty excellent and helpful. When I inquired about the packages, they kinda went in-depth more so than other ones I dealt with. They told me exactly what the package is going to cover. Also, setting up the payment plan was fairly easy. Everything went well.

    I've been very hesitant to get an extended warranty because I've heard of horror stories with extended warranty companies. You pay all that money and then, when it’s time to get it, they tell you stuff like, “Oh, well, this isn’t covered. Well, that’s not covered,” and they are some things you thought were covered. But I thought I’d give it a shot. I have an expensive luxury car, so I wanted to make sure that the stuff was covered.

    I was going to get extended coverage for my vehicle with the dealership, but it was a bit too expensive and they wanted all the money upfront. I couldn’t do it, so I had to go with someone like CARCHEX. I always check the reviews and CARCHEX had some of the best reviews. There was one company that had better reviews, but the person that I dealt with at CARCHEX was persistent. The other companies just called one time and that was it, while the one at CARCHEX called several times. He would call me back when he needed to and he didn’t give up. I had stuff at work a lot of times, but he was persistent that’s why I stuck with it. I made the payment upfront and they set me up with monthly payments, and it was an easy process.

    I had just purchased a new, used vehicle. I bought an extended warranty and went with CARCHEX because of the customer service. The rate that the rep had given me was actually, originally, more than what I had checked with someone else, but then, still, he worked things out for me. The guy that I dealt with, Jerel, was really great. He broke down all the coverages for me because I had questions about the differences between the different coverages. So, he told me what he suggested for me, and then, I had questions about the other coverages. He was very knowledgeable because I had a hard time reading the contract, the stuff that he had sent me. It was just so much and it was a little bit overwhelming.

    Maybe they could make the contract a little bit easier to read and understand, make bigger bullet points for the most important things that people look for and then not so much fine print 'cause that fine print is a lot of fine print. But he took the time to go through it with me and that was what I appreciated the most because I did as best as I could, looking over it by myself, but I still needed him. Hearing it verbally helped make sure that it’s stuck in my head. So, I'm good to go. I'm happy with my experience with CARCHEX. I hope, though, if I need anything, the service is still the same way.

I have a car that has a lot of features like GPS and all these monitors, and all of that are kinda covered in the policy. Initially, I talked to a rep then he transferred me to someone else.

    Original Review: Feb. 21, 2019

    It was pretty easy to sign up with CARCHEX. When they called and explained everything to me, it seemed pretty much straightforward until I got the book and read all the fine print. After reading through some of the paperwork, I’m probably gonna be cancelling it. This is because of all the stipulations or as to what it covers and how it’ll cover it.

    One of the things that sold me on it was they said gaskets and seals were included. But upon reading the book when they sent it to me, the only way a gasket is replaced is if something else goes out that would cause that to be bad. And if it is something else that is not part of what is covered goes out and causes the head gasket to go out, they're not gonna cover it. I do a lot of the maintenance work on all my vehicles myself. I used to work on cars. And from reading through this book, I have to take my car somewhere to even have the oil changed. I can do the work, but with the warranty, I’m not able to do it myself like I always have. I have to go spend two or three times what it would normally cost me just to change oil.

    Purchasing a warranty from Carchex is proving to be the worst decision I've ever made. It's nearly impossibly to get anyone on the phone besides the sales department. I took my car to the shop on Friday (15th) in the morning and they attempted to call the claims department all day, only to be met with long hold times and messaging services, and never received a callback. The claims department is only open Monday through Friday, so good luck if your car has issues after 5 pm EST or on the weekend.

    After reaching someone in the sales department, I was assured my case would be escalated and I'd get a call first thing Monday morning. Monday comes with no phone call so after several, several calls between me, Customer service and my repair shop, I'm told that the company rejected the part quoted and is going to try to find their own that they can have shipped in. Meanwhile, I'm STILL without a car, or a rental car because they can only approve that once the claim had been processed. Do yourself a favor and do NOT purchase a warranty here.

They drag their heels, keep the dealership on hold, threaten to make me pay to have engine broke down so they can determine whether they are going to cover repair. So I research Buyers Choice and it is actually an auto warranty company called Royal Administration. They have a one star rating and a history of denials and trying to scare off claims by having the motor broke down at customer's cost. If I had known when buying a policy from a “5 star” rated company that the rating was actually for the sales team and that they were selling my policy I would not have bought it from them.

    It always makes one feel like they can probably go lower in the price if one really saw them. Still, my purchasing experience was satisfactory and I think I got a good deal. Whenever I have to file a claim, I need to call them to get pre-authorization. Also, the vehicle must not be driven if it's damaged to avoid further damage and then have it towed to the dealership or shop of my choice. I then inform the dealership or shop of my choice that I have an extended warranty and they'll communicate with CARCHEX to get any authorization for any work that needs to be done. The professionalism and knowledge of their reps was top-notch.

    A car is a very expensive investment and in order to keep it running and dependable, you have to invest in it which is why a vehicle protection plan is very important. I put a lot of miles on the car so any type of cost-effectiveness is welcome as well as security for it. I looked into an extended coverage and I liked the reviews for CARCHEX that I read online. It was an easy experience buying the protection plan and the reps were very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful.

    Last Friday February 7th 2019 I had a belt brake on my truck that is under warranty with Carchex. I did not have the policy with me at the time or the number of the roadside company that is not a part of Carchex. I called Carchex the first time at 9:30 am and told them that I did not the information on my warranty with me. They transfers to the roadside number. I informed them that I was broke down and needed a tow for the truck. They called a tow company and they said the tow truck was on the way.

    An hour later the tow company calls me and ask me where I am at, after they were told where I was at in detail asking where I was at. I told them right down to the address near me again. The dispatcher then told me he had to call me back to see if they were going to come get me. 45 minutes later I call Carchex again. They again transfer me to roadside assistance. I tell them what was going on. They try to call the tow company, they could not get them on the phone. They get another tow company called Red Line Towing. They say they will get me. So roadside pays them and tells me it will be one hour.

    An hour and a half later they had not shown up. So back to Carchex and over to roadside. They call the tow company and they tell them they are on the way, an hour later still no tow truck. I could go on about having to call to get a tow and what went on. But the long and the short of it is, it took to 5:00 pm to get a tow truck to me. And then it was over the price they pay for a tow so I had to come out of pocket for what they did not pay the tow company. When I called Carchex the next day, they told me that they have no control over roadside. They wanted to do nothing to make me feel better. But when you sell a warranty to a customer, then you need to own the fact of what happens with your customer. Would I tell another about Carchex, No way - not after what I had to put up with.

It was my first time I got an extended warranty with my car and it was a little stressful. Ryan, the gentleman that I worked with, was really good and very patient with me. He explained to me a lot of things because I know nothing about extended warranties for cars.

    We bought a used car and it came with no warranty. It is a Cadillac and the repair expenses would be very expensive. So, we need a little help on the repairs, if and when it should happen. We had called a couple of people and they never got back with us a whole lot. And I contacted the dealer, and the car has a reconstructed title. So, not very many companies would accept that. CARCHEX was able to work with that, but I had second thoughts about doing it because the warranty was very expensive.

    Other than that, the reps at CARCHEX were nice guys. They're great salespeople. They made the different policies and options sound really good. Now, I got the contract that tells me about the warranty in the mail and there are a lot of loopholes in it. There are so many things that the warranty excludes. I was under the impression that it would be a bumper-to-bumper, and I really don't think it is. The rep said it’s bumper-to-bumper. We've had several new cars, and with the way I understand it, bumper-to-bumper means you take your car in for any problem, and it is completely taken care of. This is not the case with CARCHEX.

    Thank you for your review. We apologize about the hold times with your contract administrator and frustration this has caused with your claim delays. Our CEO has spoken personally to his counterpart at the administrator and has been given reassurances that they are doing everything possible to get this issue resolved. We have also asked that an adjuster call your repair shop right away to get the claim moving forward.

    Please be aware the administrator had a planned phone upgrade scheduled and it coincided with the extreme cold weather that went across the country over the last few weeks which greatly increased the volume of claims calls. This has caused extreme hold times and very frustrating claims experiences for our customers, the repair shops, and for CARCHEX as we cannot quickly get through by phone either.

    Keep in mind, your administrator has been in business for over 20 years, has maintained an A+ rating with the BBB and has always been a great administrator to work with prior to these issues.

    We are confident the issues will greatly improve starting Monday 2/18/19 as the administrator has assured us the phone upgrade will be completed this weekend and additional adjusters will be added starting Monday morning to help resolve the phone issues and hold times.

    We will continue to monitor your claim and continue to ask for an expedited process. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

    I was purchasing a used vehicle for my daughter after her previous car was totaled due to a wreck and the warranty that was being offered by the dealership where I was buying the car was extremely expensive. So, I decided while I was sitting there to do a little research on outside warranties to find out how much they were. I found the Consumer Reports site and it listed CARCHEX as the number one out of the top 10. I read the reviews and I also called. Then, the person that I spoke with in ChargeUp California gave me some information. The price and coverage were both good. The rep was informative and he worked with me because I was in a hurry since I was in the dealership. I needed to make the decision, so he was very helpful.

    I’ve had a great experience so far with purchasing it. It is extremely valuable to me especially with a used vehicle. It’s my young 17-year old driving it and she doesn’t necessarily have the experience to know right away when something might be not exactly right. So, if she was to break down, then I have peace of mind that it’s not gonna cost us an arm and a leg to get fixed.

    I bought an extended coverage when I got the car and I didn’t have a chance to go over everything to see what was covered. Also, I didn’t understand the deductible. So, I decided to look into it. I was gonna buy a new car and I didn’t like the idea of having to pay an interest rate on the price of the warranty. A friend of mine used CARCHEX and they had a lot of stars so, I chose them. It was a good experience when I bought the protection plan. The reps listened and were patient with me because I had to look for my coverage. I wanted to compare and make sure I wasn’t taking anything away that I was really going to need. Ben, the rep, was good. He called me back a couple of times to make sure I had everything I needed and got the information that I was looking for. We don’t know what will happen to the cars so, having a protection plan is very valuable and it’s a necessity.

    My first call with CARCHEX seemed rushed. It seemed like the reps were trying to get me signed up right then. I told them that I needed to wait a few days but then I wouldn't let my mileage go over. I called back a couple of times and the next gentleman whom I spoke with answered my questions and explained everything to me. We talked about payment and the timeframe of the warranty.

    Thereafter, I was able to go and read reviews and called back again. I told CARCHEX that I had several questions based on the reviews I read and that the reviews were alarming to me. I said that the reviews said that some repairs aren't covered. The rep explained that the reviewers probably weren’t explaining that they didn't get this type of warranty and that they probably just got the basic one. I responded by saying that if the reviewers are saying that the rep told them that what they were purchasing covered everything, how was that incorrect. The rep then told me that the reps whom the reviewer talked to probably explained what a particular warranty covered but then the reviewer chose to purchase something else.

    I also had a few more questions on deductibles and whether or not if I decided to cancel before 30 days, would there be issues with trying to get a refund. Once again, my questions were answered by the rep I was speaking to. He told me that I would only have to follow the process for cancellation and it would be done. I was pleased and appreciative. I got the warranty and it has been valuable for me.

    There were only 16,000 miles left in the manufacturer's warranty, so I wanted an extended coverage for my vehicle. I looked around for warranty providers and CARCHEX' name popped up. I made a phone call to them and Raul, the guy that I talked to was helpful and we worked out something that's very reasonable. I purchased the seven-year, 125,000, bumper-to-bumper coverage from CARCHEX. Raul explained how everything goes, but that was a lot of information to take in. He told me how to get to the information online, but I didn't see it when I went online, so I requested a package with the information. If I have a hard copy, then I can work with that. They're gonna send me the information for the things that I am paying for and I'm still waiting for my package to go through, but I've had a pretty good experience with them so far.

    Having this extended warranty has give me peace of mind because I don't know what's gonna happen with these new vehicles and all these electronics on them. My primary concern is not so much the engine but the transmissions and the electronics. It doesn't take much to add up when you're working with those electronics and trying to repair them. I would definitely recommend CARCHEX to anyone that was buying a car.

    CARCHEX was competitive on the price and the reviews sounded like most people were pretty happy with them. I wanted just about bumper-to-bumper, just like what the factory warranty would've been.

If I had any future problems or questions, I would just call him and he would explain.

    I haven't had a chance to really read through the whole plan. But I skimmed through it 'cause the rep wanted to make sure that it did have the luxury package check marked, and then some kind of emission, and both of them were checked on it. He told me to make sure I got that coverage on the plan. If you talk to other people, they say it's a waste of money to get a warranty. There are too many electronic things on this vehicle that could go wrong. They're not like the old cars, where it's just a motor and transmission. There are so many little things that can fail.

    My mileage was creeping up. The car is in great condition and we intend to hold on to it for a longer time, so it would be wise for us to get an extended warranty on our vehicle.

    The initial contact and the follow-up were good. They called frequently and I didn’t mind that. I minded the number of calls that I was always getting every week. Either five or six calls a week and five or six mails into a week for warranty. I was ready to act at that time that I spoke to their representative. I had a fair knowledge of what I was looking for, and the people from CARCHEX guided me as well. I appreciated working with them. Also, the rep, Matthew, was well-versed in presenting the product.

I also know it can't run forever. I was looking for the most coverage I could get and my decision to go with CARCHEX was all about affordability.

I was a little concerned about having to wait the 30 days or the 1,000 miles. But I made a few trips back and forth to California from Texas so that wasn’t a problem. Everything went smoothly and now, I'm at peace with myself.

    Before CARCHEX though, I originally went with another company but the thing that soured me was this. I spent over an hour one time trying to get a hold of customer service and I wasn’t happy with that. If I had that much problem getting a hold of them with no problem, how much problem would I have when I need to get a hold of them?

The purchasing part was getting the guy on the phone and talking to him. He was very knowledgeable and he knew what was going on. But they were hounding me and I got a call every 15 minutes which was a bit overdoes. Our interaction went fine after the 20th phone that they made.

    However, I did not like that I had to agree on the phone to a document I have not seen. I can see it online but they were supposed to be sending me the documents. They told me 7 to 14 days but it has taken them two weeks for something that takes 10 minutes to print out and mail to me. It is sort of difficult to do stuff when I don't have a document in my hand. Also, they should not have had me agree to something I can't see before they follow through with stuff and it was a little odd to me.

    Reviewed Jan. 11, 2019

    I was talking with my broker from Progresso, who does my car insurance and I told him that I have a 2010 BMW. The warranty went out, so when I was asking about it, he told me to look up aftermarket warranties. CARCHEX and another company popped up, which was cheaper but when I spoke to a rep from CARCHEX, he said he understood that they were cheaper, but CARCHEX had perks that the other companies didn’t have. So, I went with it. The rep was very professional and knowledgeable. I’m waiting right now for my membership, my warranty and all the information contained in the package on what I purchased.

    Having a vehicle protection plan is very important just like my alarm system in my house. You wanna protect what you buy and that’s a 750 with less than 100,000 miles on it so, I wanna take care of it. It’s in good shape now but I wanna make sure if something goes wrong, I can get it covered. I had a beautiful experience with CARCHEX and I would recommend it.

    Thanks for your vote!
