I looked at several extended warranty providers and I settled on CARCHEX because when I called them up, they had a more competitive rate than the other company I had. But I wished I had more options laid out for me which they didn’t. They just told me that this was a good packet. They also told me what I need and what qualifies. I felt being pushed into a corner and I needed to make a decision immediately. Then, they handed me over to a supervisor who gave me a very competitive rate compared to the other companies I had found. But I wish they had been willing to let me think about it and explore all the packages they had.
Later on, when I got the packages that were available, I wasn’t very happy with what I bought. I ended up canceling it. The warranty for your vehicles is not a cheap thing to buy, so the companies and the representatives that sell it should allow us to ruminate about the implications of what we are going to get. I could have had a better deal or I could have found some better packet. We’re always looking at how much something costs, but sometimes it’s not the cost that is always the thing. I would rather pay for a quality thing, but I’d have them wait for it because nobody just writes a check for $4,000 without thinking it through.

I got an offer for an extended coverage in the mail and I looked into it out of precaution. In these parts, CARCHEX is the one who solicited and I called in then we agreed that I would do a 30-day trial. They tried to make everything pretty clear and they were very helpful and very good. But my main hesitation for any of these companies is this. How difficult is it going to be to get them to pay a claim? Will there be conditions that need to be met? I'm still in the 30-day period and I'm still considering it. I may cancel it.

I usually buy new cars and I buy extended warranties on those. But I bought a used car and it had low mileage. So I looked into getting an extended warranty for it. I did some research and CARCHEX came up as the one I wanted to use. The number of people that had reported good service made me go with them. The cost was not the best, but it was second, and I also liked the features of what they offered. Purchasing the plan very easy. I did it on a phone call and the person that I talked to walked me through all of it, which was when I had decided to get it right in a minute. Their reps were very good. They knew what they were talking about, they answered my questions, and they were very polite.
CARCHEX is worth talking to and I would recommend them. Having an extended warranty is usually worth it because of the high cost of a car repair. The maintenance is not bad, but the car repair for transmission or an engine is so expensive that a lot of times people just trash the car. I believe that is the case if your car has not too many miles on it and is an expensive car.

I had a recent high repair bill and then started looking into extended coverage for your vehicle because of that. CARCHEX had a very comprehensive contract and if I had to deal with them directly, it may help out that their headquarters were close to me. The sales guy wasn’t very patient. He would email me things, call right away, text me. If I don’t respond, he’d call. I was shopping around, looking at several different ones. He called me at 7 o’clock that night after he had emailed me some documents to look at, and I was eating with my family. I thought it’s a little pushy.
Then the sales guy gave me to someone else and the next guy explained things to me. I was asking a lot of questions, and right in the middle of the discussion, he kind of threw out there, “Well, will it be American Express, or MasterCard, or Visa?” In a hurry to get it done with me. The sales department was a little pipeline-ish. I also didn’t like that they couldn’t send me the contract electronically, so I just got it in the mail the other day. I’m still in the evaluation period whether I’m going to stay with them or not.

People were calling my phone for extended warranties so I had to call somebody to see if it was real. I called my dad and told him all about CARCHEX. I guess he looked it up and then he told me that I was good to do it. The guy I dealt with was helpful but we got off on a rocky path. He told me about one package then when I went to ask some more questions, he told me it was another package. I asked why he didn't tell me about that package and he said it was more money. I had told him an amount that wasn't what I wanted to spend so he was trying to stay up in that area. But no matter what budget I gave, he was still supposed to try to sell their product. I told him that he should've still told me about the other package because then I wanted the other package.
But we got back on the straight path and I ended up purchasing that higher package. I'm on a payment plan now. I'm paying $148 a month for the warranty and I'm trying to get a few people to go to CARCHEX as well. When CARCHEX sent me my booklet, I read it. And I like it because I believe if my car is in the shop, they would pay for me to rent a vehicle. It's cool. So I'm gonna recommend it.

I purchased a vehicle last month and the dealer would only give me a two-year warranty on it. I used CARFAX to get a history of the vehicle, and CARCHEX was in there. I clicked on it, read their reviews and I decided to go with them. They gave me a five-year warranty on the vehicle. Right now, everything seems to be okay.

I have a vehicle in the shop. The dealer told me my torque converter is bad and My 3rd gears is going bad. So they said I need a new transmission. Is the purpose of an extended warranty to prevent you from paying for problem with your vehicle. We CARCHEX hasn't stood by what I trusted them to do. They want me to spend 540.00 to flush transmission fluid before they will fix my bad torque converter. They are trying to use every code in the book to go against paying to fix my vehicle. If I knew they would work against me than for me I would have not went with them. It's crazy. Your warranty company would fight to have to spend more of your money before they fix a broken part. So disappointing. Now I'm thinking about just buying a vehicle and say ** it with the truck and CARCHEX.

I tried CarShield and they were giving me some runaround about covering the drivetrain and they told me that they had to negotiate parts and labor. Mechanics will make $85 an hour that have master’s degrees in automotive science. They charge $100 just to talk to them. You don’t negotiate with a mechanic that cost you $115 an hour to sit. That was an alarm bell for me, so I didn't sign up with them. CARCHEX is associated with Carfax which is a Better Business Bureau certified and accepted. I’m with them at $126 a month for three years. There has been no glitches and so far, so good.

When my manufacturer warranty ran out, I thought getting an extended warranty was probably best. But I had a CARCHEX warranty before and it hardly covered anything. Their only explanation was that I was being charged two months. I looked at several companies but there was nowhere I could go to get a cheaper rate so it put me in a hole. I was able to get the rate and the coverage that I wanted with CARCHEX but I had to negotiate all that and they played ball. I kept getting transferred. When I requested the price, the rep sent me up to his manager then we went back and forth a few times until we finally decided upon a price. How valuable having a warranty is varies depending on the vehicle. I've got an expensive vehicle to work on so I will save as much as I can. If I can get coverage for 10% of my parts and labor, the warranty would be worth it for me.

CARCHEX took a good sale but when I got the package, it wasn’t what they said it was. When I spoke to the guy on the phone, he said everything would be covered except for general maintenance and things that my insurance would cover, like if I had an accident and I mess up my radiator. As far as the general maintenance, I have to do oil changes, replace batteries, rotate my tires and things of that nature. He said everything else was covered and he used the word “bumper-to-bumper.”
When I got the policy and I was looking over it the different features that I have on my vehicle weren’t covered, such as the keyless door thing, the keypad. I have a sunroof on my car and the sunroof isn’t covered as well. Brakes or the braking lining or the braking system is covered, but my brake pads aren’t. So because I do preventative maintenance on my vehicle I wasn’t gonna need the policy.
They said that it will cover a transmission but I just got the vehicle at the end of the spring, and I only have about 41,000 miles on my car. Typically, a transmission goes wrong once you get in the hundreds of thousands of miles. When transmissions go out, your warranty would be expired anyway so I’m not gonna pay $2,500 for a warranty that wouldn’t cover a transmission when I need it anyway. I ended up cancelling my policy. The customer service was good but the lady who I spoke to, to cancel my policy was very reluctant in doing so. I know that they have retention goals and it took a little more for me to cancel than I would've liked to, but it had been taken care of.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to read over your Welcome Package to ensure the coverage meets your needs. We offer the 30 day money back guarantee on all of our policies to ensure you are completely satisfied and the coverage meets your needs. With that said, we have cancelled your coverage and refunded your down payment.
With regards to your coverage, you purchased Exclusionary coverage for your 2014 Ford Expedition which is the highest level of coverage available. Your coverage plan protects everything on the vehicle except the items listed under what is not covered in your contract.
As you mentioned, the list of exclusions on the coverage are common maintenance items (oil changes, brake pads, windshield wipers, etc.), physical damage, and cosmetic items like carpet.
The list of exclusions also includes a short list of components that is not covered. While a short list of excluded items, in review of your calls with our team, it is clear the list included several repairs that you have had on your previously owned vehicles. We regret the coverage did not cover these items and we are sorry to lose you as a customer.

I've had CARCHEX for a few years now and I’ve done three contracts with them. I prefer them over other auto warranty providers as I seem to have good luck with them. My purchase experience with them was fine. I’ve always dealt with the same person. But I just cancelled the protection plan for my vehicle that I purchased from them because I traded the vehicle in. The customer has 30 days to cancel and then it’s pro-rated after that. Other than that, it has been fine with them.

I was very disappointed the way I was treated by the salesperson Mr. Jahmar **. He didn't inform me that in order to cancel my extended warranty once I purchased I was required to write a letter and could not cancel over the telephone, even though I had canceled it within 2 hours of buying. In addition, I had no access to the contract until I bought the extended warranty. In addition, he poorly explained the details of the extended warranty and did not indicate most salient points. I felt that he wasn't concerned about my welfare only his commission.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback. We will review your calls with our representatives and address accordingly.
With regards to cancellation, a written request is required to cancel a Vehicle Service Contract to ensure that is the car has a failure in the future, we have written documentation of the cancellation.
In the past, consumers have cancelled in writing and still claimed to have not requested the cancellation several months later when they had a major repair.This caused our policy to require written cancellation on all requests to cancel coverage.
We apologize for this inconvenience. Please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002 if you have any questions.

The warranty on my car was running out from when I bought it. So I didn't want to have to go pay out $8,000 or so to put a new motor in a car if I had to. CARCHEX was the cheapest. They were straight up to the point with everything. If I had a question, the specialist answered it. He was very friendly with everything and was easy to talk to. I am doing monthly payments on it and it's set up as a direct auto pay. I used to do auto mechanic, and I know how expensive it is to fix these cars. If I only gotta fork out 100 bucks for something that's gonna cost me two grand, I'll fork out the $100. I've already told a few of my buddies about this company, and they've already called and spoke with them and getting ready to set something up.

My vehicle is a couple of years old. Chrysler only offers the three-year / 36,000 coverage. I have gone on a few nice trips with the vehicle on the road and have put some miles on it and, now, it's 30,000. So, I asked myself if I would trade the vehicle in or take it and buy an extended warranty. I went online and there was a 4.5-star rating for the CARCHEX. They were the highest rating company, so I went with them. Purchasing the warranty was very simple. I did it online and all it took was 15 minutes. I then got a phone call back and I dealt with a fantastic gentleman from the North Side, Chicago. He mentioned that the Titanium Warranty is identical to what the Chrysler offers through Mopar. Everything is very expensive in new cars and if you don't have a warranty, everything is left up to you.

I bought a third vehicle that came with no warranty. It was a used car in decent shape and with low mileage for its age. I have extended warranty through the dealerships for my other vehicles so I chose to reach out and get one on this car as well to make sure it's protected in case something happened. I reached out to another company and they were hassling me a lot and trying to force me to go with them, so I blocked their numbers and looked into CARCHEX. They were decent and not pushy. They worked with me to get the best pricing possible and I was pleased. The rep was wonderful in making sure that I was gonna be covered for the main parts in the event that something happened since there are some known issues out there with the vehicles. He was looking out for me a lot as if he was purchasing it and that’s what he would do. He was neat and great. I would recommend CARCHEX.

I have a 2008 Saturn Sky and it's a 10-year old car. Everything has been replaced, so it's in great shape. It's not like it's gonna break down in 1,000 miles, but other things could. For example, I had the compressor go out a couple of weeks ago. I looked into getting a coverage for my car and it looked like CARCHEX might have been a good company and when I talked to Endurance which is the top company, they said that CARCHEX is okay, but they're not that great.
The people at CARCHEX were not honest with me when I bought the plan. They said that I was gonna pay $132 on the first, and then I would wait 30 days, and if I got any incident, I will be covered. However, that's not true. When they sent me the booklet, I read the booklet, and it says 30 days plus 1,000 miles. I don't put that many miles on my car. I drive my car maybe two or three times a week and it would take me forever to make 1,000 miles.
CARCHEX's rep guy talked to us through the phone and the manager got on there. The manager was weird as hell. He kept screaming, talking and did not give me a chance to explain anything. I could not get him to transfer me over to the area to cancel the contract. I told him that with CarShield, it was a 20-day wait time and then I could go ahead and make a claim if I needed to, which I did. Although CarShield fell through on what they covered, there was no 1,000 mile wait time with them.
I told the manager that I wanna be out of this coverage. So I did what they asked me to do online. They sent me something to fill out and I sent it back. Then they sent back another thing, and they said that they needed me to write a letter and tell them all of the things. So, I did that and the letter would go out in today's mail. It was a bad experience with CARCHEX. I keep thinking about it and I think my powertrain is gonna go at least to 200,000 or 250,000. So maybe, I'm just gonna blow the whole thing off because it's in great condition and I would pay for the expenses as they go.
Thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, we are reviewing your calls with our employees. CARCHEX takes pride in providing a superior buying experience and we are truly sorry if your experience did not live up.
With regards to some of your other concerns, all of our policies do include a validation period which is added to end of the contract so no time or miles is lost. This is to help ensure the vehicle is in good working order instead of requiring a mechanical inspection prior to purchase.
Your policy includes a 30 Day and 1000 mile validation period which reverts to a 90 day and 200 mile waiting period automatically in the event you do not drive the 1000 miles.
As you discussed with our representatives, the previous coverage had only a 20 day waiting period but the coverage only pays 50% of the costs as stated in the other companies contract. Unfortunately, you found this out with your previous compressor repair under the other companies plan. You agreed this was inferior coverage when you purchased our coverage.
We are truly sorry you had a bad buying experience. If there is anything we can do to earn your business, please let us know. Our Customer Loyalty Department is available at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

The regular warranty on my vehicle ran out. It has a lot of electronics on it, so I figured, I'd better get some kinda extra coverage for it.

They were good as far as any questions I had and they were knowledgeable.

We bought a used vehicle. And then when we were at the dealership, they were pushing the extended warranty on it. We thought about having it so that it would protect the car if we were to transfer it to our daughter in the future, but when we looked at different people’s extended warranties, the process of doing that wasn’t very good. We’re getting older, so we don’t know for sure if we’re gonna just be able to transfer it to her. It just wouldn’t get done right, and she wouldn’t get the advantage of it.
I called CARCHEX and talked to them. It sounded like the company and everything they said were good. They told me all the benefits and then they gave me several discounts but it’s still was close to $3,000 to get it. At the time, I didn’t really know if I wanted that or not, so I thought about it. We decided not to take it. Then I started looking at it, thinking about it. And then I signed up for CARCHEX but I cancelled it because I don’t really think it’s what we need. We have a certified GM vehicle which comes with extra warranties on it. So, in the end we decided not to get extended warranties on it because we don’t drive very much, so we’re not gonna put that many miles on it. I also paid CARCHEX $150, so I’m hoping to get refunded on it.
The reps from CARCHEX were okay. But the one thing that I had a problem with was that I was trying to get back to them so that I could cancel it, and I couldn’t get anybody. I had their numbers. I called that and then they didn’t call me back. So then I just went ahead and called in and got whoever, and told them that I wanted to cancel it. They said it was gonna be a couple of weeks for them to send me a contract but then after that, I don’t wanna be charged. The rep talked me into setting up the installment plan, so I did it.
They sent me the form to cancel it and I’m trying to fill out the form, but it asked for a contract which I didn’t have one. So, I used the customer number instead. I called back the same person that I’ve done that with, and I couldn’t get him. He wouldn’t call me back. They also asked for a letter. I made one and then I copied the thing that they sent me and put that with my letter and fill it out the best I could and sent it in, and I’m hoping for the best.

To make sure I was not stuck with a broken car and a broken wallet at the same time, I looked into getting an extended coverage. The salesperson from CARCHEX was nice, straightforward and gave me all the information on my questions. He was knowledgeable and pushed me a little but in the right direction. He helped me decide and gave me options. He was also easy to work with. I just purchased the warranty and hopefully, I wouldn’t need to use it but I will recommend CARCHEX.

I have a Mercedes and when I was at the dealer, they told me that my warranty would be up at 70,000 miles. I'm at 59,000 miles and they told me to get a warranty before my warranty was up. They told me that a lot of their customers have CARCHEX. The CARCHEX rep was good, but there was one thing that was left out. I was told that everything will be covered from bumper to bumper. I read the coverage and there was a lot of stuff that isn't covered. I had to call back and get them to add the emissions warranty package with my warranty. I'm glad I looked at it and read it.
The price was high and they had to break it down into longer monthly payments. They told me that they were gonna work something out, but they just extended it to a longer period of time. They didn't give me a discount. It is $7,100 for four years and only 40,000 miles. That's about $1,700 for every 10,000 miles, which is like paying $0.10 to $0.15 per mile that you drive. Paying $570 a month for a note is not something I wanna do, then I have to pay another $300 more for coverage. That's $875 and then another $300 for the insurance. It is almost $1,200 a month to operate this vehicle.

My extended warranty expired. I wanted to keep the vehicle and to have some coverage on it. I've done some research and gone to CARCHEX, but they had some typical sales tactics about wanting me to purchase there on the phone and not wanting me to review the policy, but I was persistent on reading it first. They offered me about five different policies before we found one that was suitable.
It was pretty straightforward and easy to set up the plan. They sent me some emails, I read the policies, they called me two or three times, and when I finally agreed to it, I just had to finalize the purchase through the email. Having a car protection plan is worth it. But, it still depends on your personal situation. If you're going to purchase one, make sure to read the policies and the fine print first before buying.

My car's factory coverage didn't seem to cover everything that we needed to cover for a very long period of time, especially electronics. A protection plan for a vehicle is a necessity. I've been through it with three other vehicles. I looked into extended coverage and I ended up getting one from CARCHEX as theirs has the same price for more coverage. Also, their staff was knowledgeable. The first gentleman I talked to passed me over to his manager.

We took out a CARCHEX policy because of the wonderful reviews but realized we should have stayed away from them. They told us that our policy would cover engine repair/replacement and that is exactly what our policy says. When our car engine blew CARCHEX decided that it did not "die" a particular way so that engine would not be covered. This was not clearly indicated in our contract and was worded in a way that was very confusing. Go somewhere else if you can... also beware of their customer service... we were placed on hold for over an hour and transferred at least 6 times EVERY TIME we called. Very frustrating. Either they were hoping we would just give up or really did not care. I will post this review on other sites because I don't want this to happen to others, particularly senior citizens.

I had extended coverage on my vehicle when I bought it and I was under the assumption that when I paid it off a year early, I'd still have that insurance. But, I didn't. I saw a CARCHEX commercial on TV and thought of calling them. When I did, the rep was a little pushy so I didn't get the extended coverage from them yet because I don’t like pushy people. I also told him that the price was a little too high for me. When he called me back, he told me that he could lower it for me. Since I still have low miles on my vehicle, the price was still kinda high, and so I told him that. But then, he was able to lower the price again, so I went ahead and did it.
The rep was knowledgeable, though. I had a lot of questions and he pretty much answered all of them. I asked him what is the kind of coverage, what does it entail, and what is covered on my vehicle. He said it was bumper to bumper then went through the whole list of things that are not covered. He also told me what would be my deductible and said that I can take my vehicle anywhere I wanted because they're local.
I have a backup vehicle just in case something happens to my car, but it feels safer to have CARCHEX. I work at 11:30 at night, so I don’t get home until midnight. My coverage has roadside service. I know that if I have an issue, I can call a tow truck, wait for it without getting out of the vehicle, and have my car taken right to the dealership or anywhere I want it fixed. Then, they can do whatever and find out what's wrong and I don’t have to worry about it. Unlike with AAA, which mine was cancelled because they're mad expensive, you can get the coverage where you get more tows, but you're only allowed three a year.

This company is an absolute rip off! I purchased the warranty plan in April of 2018. I spoke with Ronnie ** at length trying to determine which coverage would meet my needs. I have a BMW which repairs can be costly so I was researching protection. My specific question was if the check engine light comes on, the repairs will be covered? The response was yes, anything dealing with the engine will be covered.
Fast forward, in August my check engine light came on. Knowing I had protection, I wasn't too concerned knowing I would only be responsible the $200 deductible. Makes sense right? No, because the issue was an "emissions issue" not engine. After going back and forth being told yes it should to no it's not, I was defeated and I assumed the cost of an $1800+ repair. I was then offered a half-ass consolation from Adam regarding. Previous call regarding TMS which I was initially told was not covered under the warranty. He then went to explain that he notice in the system that I has inquired a few months earlier and it should have been covered and for me to schedule an appointment to have replaced which I did.
The dealership tried to explain to then when service request was submitted that the battery life was pretty much the same. This means that 1 is reading faulty now however it was recommended to replace all 4. We went round and round back and forth. Fast forward to a few weeks later when it was time for my inspection, the TMS stayed on. All sensors are faulty (lol). Simple enough, right? All 4 can be replaced now so request was submitted. Carchex indicated that they would send out an inspector within 48 hours. The inspector went out to the dealership and received confirmation all 4 sensors failed. My deductible $200. The total was over $1131.67 and Carchex only paid $367.27 and the remaining balance was my responsibility. The explanation provided was regarding a market rate for repairs. I have tried to access coverage at 3 times and each time I have gotten either a denial, push back or an unreasonable explanation.

I bought a BMW from BMW Car Club of America. It has known motor issues in that year span and being it a farm car, it can be quite expensive if things break, so I wanted to make sure I got everything covered. The car club recommended CARCHEX and it was a great experience purchasing a protection plan from them. I just put my name and information in, then they called me within a few minutes and kinda walked me through everything.
However, when I said it was a little expensive and I was gonna have to talk to my wife, the guy told me to hold on and he would see what he could do. Then, another guy got on. This reminded me of the car salesman style where you'll get to talk to a manager and then the manager will make the deal. That's what happened. The manager got on the phone, but he was great and super nice. He took care of me and gave me a great price which I can't complain about. The only weird thing was that the guy on the phone couldn’t do it and had to get his manager involved, and then his manager had to close the deal.
Other than that, the people who I've talked to knew exactly kind of what goes wrong in the particular brand of car that I have and which areas I should get coverage on, which I didn't expect. Having the plan is priceless. After I hung up the phone and paid for the coverage, I felt more comfortable because given the things that can go wrong with the car that can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, it is nice to know that I am protected. I am happy with CARCHEX and I'd recommend them.

Maintenance on a German car is not cheap and my car is older now so eventually, it's gonna start giving me problems.

But CARCHEX doesn't ask for a down payment and I could just make monthly payments so that was the selling point there. The rep was also very knowledgeable.

I spoke with a rep for CARCHEX about the best extended warranty for me and found the Diamond with add on LEP/Emissions/Market Labor Rate was best. Now 3 months later I had to use the policy to replace a part within the steering system and am finding its more difficult then I thought when making a claim. First, it seemed like once the vehicle arrived at the repair facility to the time a rep contacted me back was very quick and seemed at the time flawless, only to find out later how I felt I was getting nickel and dimed to death. This contact is very similar to others, what it covered, how it’s covered and so on, but after talking to the very friendly and kind rep it got a bit confusing. My issue is two fold over coverage description - Market labor rate add on and how it reads that section F 13 does not apply ($100.00 per hour) and based upon Repair Facility’s posted labor rate.
Reading F 13 says the maximum hourly rate is based on Repair Facility posted labor rates. These 2 contradicts each other, basically saying the same, so what do I pay extra for? I was told they use a Nationally recognized labor guides for repairs in my area. Why does it say they will pay Posted Labor Rates and not say based off a Nationally recognized labor guides for repair rates under Market Labor Rate Option, which I chose to pay for. The diagnostic check that was completed by the licensed mechanic servicing the vehicle is something required in repairing the vehicle. Now let’s be very clear, I am not a mechanic or have any education in auto mechanics, but who are we to question a certified mechanic on how he performs his job on running the diagnostic test and how long this required step takes.
It’s clearly written under F 4 - This contract will not cover flat rate charges for diagnosis, but I was informed that this diagnostic test was based off a time period and the repair facility gave an estimate of 1 hour to complete under the hourly rate. Again, this is a labor rate and my plan I pay for the Market labor rate option, another part of the contract that contradicts its self and told by the rep using the National guide for this procedure is 24 minutes to complete and not an hour the certified mechanic quoted. So now I’m not paying a posted labor rate, but now it’s a fee divided by 60 minutes and I will be responsible for the remaining 26 minutes, now that’s really some nickel and dime craziness.
The second part of this fold is how they shop for a part and if the repair facility does not accept it I am responsible for the difference. Yes, it’s spelled out clearly in the contract, but I’m not a certified mechanic or work or n auto parts, so I will have to learn the hard way on this. Just a note, I will be shopping for a repair facility that fits this contract now and not following the first part that I can choose my own. Learning curve is how I will chalk this repair up. I just am finding out now (since this is my first claim) is having an extended warranty worth the fee I am paying to haggle over these small issues that contradicts itself.
Since the coverage on this repair will still cost $300 (includes the $100 deductible) still worth continuing? I understand we do not pay for insurance with the hopes we will use it, but in the event it is needed. In essence this is basically an insurance policy on an older vehicle and I do not want to use it, but now that I have it just seems like haggling over the little stuff just might lose more customers than keeping them. I feel I did my homework on shopping for a warranty and still feel that this was the right one. I should have read a few more reviews and already found a repair facility that fits this plan instead of going to one and finding out how it really works.
Thank you for your review. We tried to reach you by phone to discuss your concerns.
With regards to your coverage, the Diamond Titanium plan you purchased includes the optional Market Labor Rate option automatically.This means the administrator will pay the shop's posted labor rate on repairs.
We are reviewing the contract wording to see if this can be improved but what the contract is stating is the labor rate description in section 13 does NOT apply when you add the optional market labor rate option.
We would like to discuss the additional expenses above your deductible with you to determine how we can help. Please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext 6002.

I'm 61 years old and purchased a new vehicle for the first time in my life... not used, not borrowed, NEW! So of course I want the best protection. The extended warranty the dealership offered was ridiculously expensive so I shopped around for a better deal. CARCHEX was one of five rated the best five by the BBB. After comparing all five I chose CARCHEX because their coverage was superior compared to the other four. It may cost a couple hundred dollars more but it's well worth it in the long run.

My factory warranty was gonna run out and I inquired on four different companies. The gentleman from CARCHEX was the only one who returned the call. He explained everything to me and was very thorough. I asked him a lot of questions with regards to the warranty. I wanted to make sure that I would get the coverage that I need because my vehicle is a diesel Ford truck. And he was able to answer all my questions, which I appreciated.
After speaking with him for about 20 minutes, I called my local dealer and another dealer to find out if there would be a problem if I ever did have a problem using that company. The dealership said they don't have a problem submitting to the company to make sure that they're gonna get paid. So I decided to go with Endurance. Then I tried to buy it online but the VIN number kept blowing out. So I called up and they told me that I just needed to refresh my screen. I didn't get 14 prompts, like press two then press seven. Someone actually answered the phone. I also checked online and Endurance seemed to have a decent rating. Endurance was just a little bit cheaper than other providers but I appreciated the fact that I got return phone calls and somebody actually talked to me.
Thank you for the feedback. Please let us know if we can accommodate any future warranty needs!

We bought an extended warranty for a 2013 Nissan Quest. About a month later our transmission went out 1 hr from home. This is where the problem started. Here’s what happened next. We could not get a rental immediately for two reasons. One they are not open on weekends and two you do not get the rental until they approve the repair on your car. This is where the next major problem occurred. They said that we had a previous inspection and a seal was bad on our transmission so they denied the claim. We did our own research and found that the seal was on the axle boot and had nothing to do with the transmission. Then they wanted all the records for the last two years on our oil changes. Of course that has nothing to do with the transmission but we went to all the places we had gotten our oil changed and gathered up all the records for the last two years and sent them to them. It took us three days.
Then they said they needed a report from our mechanic so we drove an hour retrieve the poor and sent it to them. Then they said that the final report we want the intake report so I Gann we were able to get that and send to them. By this time our mechanic was getting very upset at the Nissan dealership and called them himself. He explained to them that the transmission was bad. They asked him to send the entire code history so he sent that to them. Please remember this has now taken one month without a vehicle at the shop. Then they did not call us over the dealership for several days so we called them and they said that one of the codes is an electrical motor inside the transmission and they do not cover electrical components. So I asked them if I could just change out the electrical motor and car checked said no the entire transmission has to be taken out and replaced.
So to recap I bought a warranty bumper-to-bumper powertrain also to cover transmission and engine. My transmission went out and has to be replaced that CARCHEX is not replacing it because there is a motor inside the transmission that cannot be taken out that is bad. I went without a car for over a month. This is one of the worst customer service and rip offs you can ever experience. Do not buy from CARCHEX or Car Shield.
Thank you for your review. We regret your claims experience with the contract administrator of your coverage. Unfortunately, CARCHEX was not aware of your claims experience until this review was written.
With regards to your claim denial, we have reviewed the claim denial. Your claim for a transmission replacement was filed 53 days from purchase with 1159 miles driven and 171,313 miles on the odometer. The administrator did require maintenance records to ensure all manufacturer recommended maintenance was completed.
Once the maintenance records were received and verified, an inspector was assigned to verify the transmission failure. Both your repair shop and the inspector determined your transmission failure was the result of electronics sensors failing. Based on the reported codes and your shop's diagnosis, the claim was denied in accordance with the terms and conditions of your policy.
The Power Train warranty on your 2013 Nissan Quest specifically states under transmission "Electronic components, regardless of location, are not covered."
We do regret the amount of time spent obtaining records and proceeding with the claim. However, the claim was adjudicated within the terms and conditions of the contract.
CARCHEX provides our customers a dedicated CARCHEX customer service team to assist our customers if there is ever an issue with a claim and our contract administrators.

I have CARCHEX extended warranty for my Mercedes Benz GL-450 for 3 years and I am renewing my coverage again. My first time having an extended warranty. My experience with this company was more than just satisfied due to the hassle-free repair events. Their way of selling (or soliciting) their warranty is an honest-to-goodness approach and pleasant to deal with. Among the five companies I dealt with, almost all of them stress you out to the negativities of the situation and charge an unreasonable amount that leads you to say: "I'll just buy a new car"; until they go Half Price for the same coverage. CARCHEX will not disappoint you. "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"!!!

Cancellation/Refund process stinks. It only took a few minutes to draft out my money, but it takes almost two months to return it. Seriously? I’m extremely disappointed, and I will complain to NEA. This is not the way to do business. I definitely won’t rejoin.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for any frustration related to the refund process.
According to our records, your policy was cancelled within 30 days of purchase on 9/17/2018. A full refund was processed and returned to your credit card on 9/18/2018.
Please be aware that you received an email with instructions on how to cancel your policy based on contracts that are beyond the 30 Day money back guarantee in error. Once your policy becomes eligible for claims beyond the initial 30 days, refunds do take longer to process, typically between 45-60 days.
But that was not the case for your coverage. We apologize for the miscommunication and are glad we were able to resolve this issue.

Also missed an oil soaked air cleaner caused by a bad cylinder. Other items missed include burnt marker light, inoperable dash lighting, inoperable horn, heater test, excess play in shifter and more.

However, the one time I had to use them, I realized that the policy is not that awesome. But the problem is not with CARCHEX per se but with the insurance company that they work with. CARCHEX is a good middleman selling the policy and I get the best of what I could get that I could afford from them. But it’s like with any other insurance company, they cover a certain thing but won’t cover up to what got you to that. When I took my car in one time to get something fixed, they would fix what the problem was, but because there was a problem on the inside of the problem, they wouldn’t fix that.

CARCHEX was right on top of everything when I was purchasing the warranty. They called me back and wanted to help me out. But the protection specialist was a hustler. He tried to sell me a protection that I thought I needed. I have cancelled with CARCHEX and went with somebody else. CARCHEX wanted twice as much for the same coverage from another company. I’ve checked the Better Business Bureau and CARCHEX was supposed to be okay. But I kept looking into all these coverages and I found the parent company of CARCHEX, and they offered the same coverage for half the money.
Also, the coverage with CARCHEX wasn't working so I'd rather just go ahead and pay for the cars to get fixed. The initial sign up process was easy enough but it got super hard when I tried to cancel. When I cancelled, they asked for a policy and a contract number which I didn't have. Also, they wanted me to write them a letter to get my money back. So what I did was I called my credit card company and I knocked CARCHEX off that way. I even carbon-copied the letter that I sent them and also sent one to my attorney because I felt like this is going to be a problem. I would recommend CARCHEX to someone else I didn't care for.

They need more explanation and lesser sales pitch. I would call the rep I dealt with a hard-nosed salesman. Ultimately, it drove me to say no and to wait another month and then did it online when I got an email offer just not have to deal with them on the phone. Still, you don’t get the same options online as you do when you're talking to somebody. You get a subset of options, and I can only choose between the $200 or $300 deductible. On the phone, on the other hand, there's a $100 deductible available. Still, I felt thoroughly assisted.

I decided to get an extended coverage for my car since my car was expiring and I was the one who did all the research. I wanted a good warranty, something close to a bumper-to-bumper. I chose CARCHEX due to what I read about them online and the backing they had from different people. Purchasing the protection plan from CARCHEX was easy and the interactions with their reps were good. They were easy to talk to and very informative. Hopefully, I’ll never have to use the warranty, but at least at the time I use it, I’m sure it will pay for itself.

I bought a used 2014 Honda CR-V that didn’t come with a warranty. Ideally, I'd like to have a warranty on my cars. CARCHEX had good reviews online and when I called around, they seemed to put the most effort into customer service. My representative was really awesome. We had an issue with my credit card and he was very patient and continued to follow up whenever he said he would. He answered all my questions and he emailed me information when I asked. I wanted to get as long of a policy as I could so we narrowed the coverage down really quickly. My experience with CARCHEX was good. My only hope is that if I ever do need them, they’ll be just as good on the back end as they were on the front end.

I listened to what I heard and the TV advertisements, and I had very poor luck with the last vehicle because the computer went just as we got here. We were without a car for 10 months because the car was not worth the $4,000 for the computer for a start. It was too old because nobody would take care of it. So, we were concerned that if the transmission was to go which always happens. Plus, I don't mind the peace of mind. Apart from maintenance, an extended warranty works for me. We got a car that's five years old and great, but you never know. It's a 2012 Chevrolet Equinox LT1 and it had 98,000 miles on it. We got it as is, no warranty. So, we put one on it. If something goes wrong, and I'm up in Indiana or some place, I can take it somewhere and CARCHEX would pay, no problem. I don't have to put out $500 and $600 and $700 payments should that occur for transmissions, engines, drivetrains, and what have you.
CARCHEX had the least amount of issues. I was looking at all the rest and they seemed to be the least concerned and had the least number of “ifs”. A lot of folks will sit and say they will get us because we have the fine print stuff. The lady we were talking to was very friendly, helpful and answered my questions. I was unsure about something, so I called back about this and that and she was absolutely fine. She was wonderfully pleasant. She genuinely cared about my situation, and she was happy to help, and she explained everything.

My truck is 13 years old. I bought it in 2006 so the factory warranty went out and I extended with the factory and then it went out and they couldn’t extend it anymore. I went to AutoGuru and I ran across CARCHEX. I had an extended warranty with them before. In fact, I didn’t even know it was expiring until the other day. The purchasing process was fine. Their rep explained everything to me very well. He was patient and really took care of me. The only thing that held up the process a bit was the mileage on my truck. I didn’t know exactly what it was and when the rep processed my application, I called him again and gave it back. Then he let me know that everything was taken care of and that it’s good to go so the experience was smooth sailing.
Having an extended warranty is very valuable because I don’t spend $3000 for a transmission. And my income is restricted so it’s difficult. Nowadays, you pay $3000 for alternator, so protection plan is very helpful. Everyone should have one. I'd tell others who would need extended protection that CARCHEX is a good place to go. I haven’t had any case of using it but for me, it’s a good program.

Compared to other providers, CARCHEX had a more reasonable price, especially once I got them down to where I wanted them to be. We went back and forth on pricing and they accommodated me to a reasonable extent. The transaction was also handled well and professionally. I had a lot of questions and information, making Jason, the salesperson, go back to his supervisor to make adjustments. But he was really patient and I was impressed with his tenacity. The reason I bought the warranty was because the normal bumper-to-bumper coverage is up to three years or 50,000 miles. When I bought the vehicle, it only had 1,900 miles on it but it was gonna cross the three-year mark in a few months. That meant the warranty would have been over with. I wanted the protection for 60,000 instead of 50,000. Now that I've bought the CARCHEX warranty, I’ve got three years from the time I bought it or the 60,000.

CARCHEX offered coverage on emission and luxury electronics, and I don’t like to get hit with expensive repairs. However, purchasing the plan was moderately difficult. Industry-wide, all of the proprietors of extended warranties tend to be a bit ambiguous on cost as there is always a negotiation in terms of pricing. It’s not as clear-cut and straightforward as to coverage, the length of time and how much it costs. You also get bounced around to different people and you get different responses. Then you start comparing that experience with other companies, which then makes it very hard to sift through all the minutiae.
CARCHEX is good but each person has a different piece of the puzzle and it's difficult to get a big picture. But if you’re trying to make an informed and clear decision, you have to take all the information from several different conversations with several different people and then piece it together on your own. On a vehicle that’s approaching 100,000 miles, a vehicle protection plan is important. But I'd tell someone who might ask about CARCHEX to read the fine print.

I’m ex-military and when I called CARCHEX, whoever I talked to was ex-military as well. He was really adamant about telling me the things he was doing and he wasn’t forward. He also made me understand that the reason that people buy the extended warranty is because sometimes, warranties don’t cover some of the work. He just explained the difference between the value I can get by going to the Diamond Plan. I know he wasn’t pressing but I told him that I would buy it because I was gonna go buy my mom’s car. So I got it on a Friday, and I had 29,750 on the truck. The car salesman told me he would give me a certain amount of dollars for my Ford going into a lease, and it would cover the difference because of my vehicle. But then I ended up buying a new car.
I bought the new Terrain for my mom, and then I leased it. When I leased it, they said that for 80 bucks a month, they have a maintenance similar to CARCHEX, for a seven-year, 150000 mileage with a minimal deductible. And then I really liked that. All of a sudden, the dealership gave me a really good deal on my 2017, then I bought a 2019 and leased that one also. So I tried to cancel my policy with CARCHEX.
I called CARCHEX, but I was in a meeting and told them that I would call them right back. The rep said no problem and that I didn’t have to cancel my policy. I haven’t even told him I was canceling. It was like he knew that if I was calling back, it was gonna be for that reason. I told them I would call them back at a certain amount of time. The rep called me back and he asked if I wanna cancel the coverage. He also told me what I needed to do and that he would send me an email. He said I have to fill in the blanks with everything on there and mail it to them.
I asked how soon would my refund kick and he said between nine to fifteen days. I told him that wasn't what I was told when I bought the coverage. They initially told me that if I didn’t like it, I could cancel it in the first 30 days. The rep was definitely not the same guy that I talked to before. I told him I’m glad I’m canceling for a non-reason than customer service. He even said they were no longer with me anymore so it doesn’t really matter, and then he sent me the email while I was on the phone and he told me to just follow the steps. I also told him that I’m not canceling because I’m unhappy but because I don't have the truck anymore. He just wasn’t very receptive to that.
I was very dissatisfied. If the rep apologized and told me that if I needed them, I could just give them a call and pass me to a friend, I would have been more than happy to take care of it. I explained to the rep that I deal with 600 to 700 people a day that own vehicles, and I’m in the maintenance system, so I’m not somebody that they should get to have a bad taste in the mouth. But he replied that it was none of his business, so I just let it go.

I’ve had an old vehicle for a long time. I had a pretty good bumper-to-bumper warranty for it through the dealership but that expired. A couple of days after the expiration, I thought of buying another warranty. I Googled who was the best-rated company and found CARCHEX on the Better Business Bureau. I called them and then, the guy that signed me up was informative and made me feel comfortable. I got one of the better packages and since CARCHEX had a promotion with the 24-month zero interest, same as cash, I went that route. In closing, having an extended protection is important and CARCHEX has a simple process. Since I drive diesel trucks, I'm paying $4,000 for the warranty through the dealership. Meanwhile, the warranty from CARCHEX is costing me $2,200 so it was the better deal. Furthermore, it covers everything that they would offer as well as a rental car which the dealership wouldn't offer. I have already referred two people to the company.

I first took out a warranty with CARCHEX in March 2016 and when it was over, my experience with their customer service reps was very painful. They were sending me notices saying it was time for me to renew my policy but they had the wrong address, so things got kinda mixed up. Also, CARCHEX took money for the old warranty and didn’t take the money for the new warranty. So they ended up taking double money out of my checking account and it messed up my checking account. I had to get my payments straight with the bank to avoid as many fees as I could.
It was also hard for me to get a hold of CARCHEX reps and if I did, they didn’t return phone calls like they should. I used my daughter’s email at the beginning of this issue and they never got back to me through that email. Then, when I finally got a hold of them, I let them know that I had given them my new address two years ago. I wound up getting a new extended policy but it was a very disappointing experience. I thought that they took my payments for my extended warranty within a couple of hours but they took the money for the new one over the weekend. And I don’t know why they said they couldn’t stop taking the payments on the old warranty.
I had a hard time getting my refund, too. It took me about two weeks to get my money back from the first warranty that was supposed to be automatically canceled. So things were a bit confusing at first but everything is straightened out now. They gave me 30 days or 1000 miles before I can use my new warranty. But of all the business affairs that I’ve had through the years, this was the worst experience that I had and I told them that. I was really surprised that they do business very poorly like this with a customer. Communication with the customer is a big thing so I was kinda upset because the communication was very poor.

I have a Mercedes Benz and it's an AMG model, which is their high performance car. Even though it had only 9000 miles when I got it, it was my impression that the best thing for me to do would have been to get an extended warranty for it. Hopefully, I don't have to ever use the warranty, but it was more of an insurance policy than anything. I looked at CARCHEX and then I've looked at two others, CarShield and Endurance which was rated number 1. CARCHEX was pretty much right there in the same ballpark and CarShield might have been second or third. When I initially called Endurance and I told them what kind of car I have, they said they did not offer extended warranties for the AMG Model Mercedes Benz. Then I called and went to CARCHEX who said they covered it.
My purchasing experience with CARCHEX was pleasant at some point. They were bombarding me with emails, trying to get me to sign and then each day, the price got lower and lower. So I was wondering why I didn't get offered this in the beginning. The team at CARCHEX was knowledgeable. There was a gentleman and there was that heavy sales pitch. I was trying to ask questions and he was telling me, "Pay this down and you can call us back. You got 30 days to look at it." So I was supposed to give them an x amount of dollars while I looked at the policy. And if I wanted it, I would get it. And if I didn't want it, I would have to go back and call them for them to return my money. And that was the part that didn't make sense to me. I didn't want to be nasty to the guy, but if that was the case, then he was defeating himself in making the sale.
Eventually, I went on and got the warranty.The supervisor or manager at CARCHEX was pretty well versed in the protection plan. And then four or five days later, I got a thing in the mail, breaking down the different things as far as the contract and all that kind of stuff. For the most part, it was all right. The information was clarifying what was the in the package and speaking of that warranty. But I had already made up my mind. If I ever turn any claim with CARCHEX, and I don't care if it's the first one, and they tell me that they don't cover it, I'm gonna cancel the warranty.

I bought a used vehicle and I had purchased a maintenance plan through the dealership. I have 98,000 miles on my vehicle, so I thought that since I'm going to keep it, I would search, within reason and price-wise, for the best insurance policy on my car. Also, I have two children and they both live out-of-state so it's very important for me to have a reliable transportation and if the vehicle breaks down out-of-state, I can be accommodated. I saw an ad for CarShield on TV and then, I went online and I found that CARCHEX had an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. I also liked the idea that CARCHEX is used by Edmunds and Blue Book, so I went with them.
I called the rep twice telling him that I would call him back as I wanted to compare other companies. When I called him back, he gave me an additional discount which I appreciated. He was also very informative and professional and he did a great job. I would highly recommend him. It is important that they have more salespersons like him that make you feel they're not trying to rip you off and confident that this insurance policy is something valuable and not something that’s going to take your money. Overall, I had a very good experience with CARCHEX.

2014 TOYOTA COROLLA - Extended warranty agreement I was most happy with. Salesmen very cordial and courteous. Gave me 3 years longer than competitor and a good price! Haven't received policy in mail yet, but did email to me. Waiting for the hard copy, but sure will be just the same. Glad I did some research before accepting elsewhere.

Very pleased with the help and information about the service, and what it all covers. I think it is a very good plan and look forward to being a longtime member. The things covered, would almost say it's better than the original coverage given by the dealers.

The service was pleasant and thorough. My questions were answered and Donald went out of his way to give me the best offer. I agreed to look at the policy and decide if it's right for me. Donald explained well how the insurance works, my coverage and costs.

I am on disability and I needed extra coverage, a little help every once in a while. CARCHEX was the first provider that came up that had five stars. I had a good purchasing experience with them. The gentleman I spoke to was informative, helpful, and polite. It just took a little time to get it through, and I was done. It was an overall very quick and easy experience.

I needed coverage for my car and CARCHEX kept calling. Purchasing from them was okay. However, they canceled my policy. They said I missed the payment. And so, I had to start over again. I wish that they didn't have to cancel my first policy. Nevertheless, when I started over, the rep did as much as he could to get me the same rate as I had before.

I needed extended coverage for the X5 and I went with CARCHEX since I’ve worked with them before and I’ve never had a problem at Henderson BMW having CARCHEX to cover things. Customer service was good in taking the time to describe how many miles I drove and what would be the better plan to use versus a three-year plan or a four-year plan.

I wanted to be covered, just to be on the safe side. I googled CARCHEX and I read the reviews. I did my research and then I decided to go with them. And I had a good experience. The rep was really good, really thorough, explained everything to me, and answered all my questions. An extended coverage will save you a lot of money in the long haul.
