    The first thing the CARCHEX rep did was offer a more expensive plan and had that reduced down. I don't drive a lot, so I opted for a lesser plan to suit me. He seemed to be very knowledgeable of what it covered. When I got the package, I read it over and it wouldn't take effect for 30 days plus 1000 miles. CARCHEX really protects themselves.

    I drive a lot of miles and decided to get an extended coverage for the vehicle. I looked at different places online and CARCHEX came up to be either at No. 1 or 2 on the lists. Shawn, the rep, was great, very informative and knowledgeable. We talked about different plans and what would best fit. He wasn’t just trying to sell their most expensive plan but told me about the best plan that fit my driving needs and the length of time I expect to keep the car. I really appreciated it and would buy this plan again. He also said that if I had anything going on, or if when I file a claim, anything comes up, reach out to him and he’d be more than happy to help me out as well. So, that personal touch means a lot to me. Having the plan is extremely valuable. Nowadays, it costs more to fix a car than to buy one. With all the computer, electronics, and AC components in today's cars, you can’t go without a protection plan unless you want to go bankrupt.

    Knowing that the type of vehicle I have can have some issues, I thought getting an extended coverage was a good idea. CARCHEX had a good BBB rating and they worked with me on getting me the payment and the price that I needed. I told the representative what I wanted to pay and that I wasn’t gonna pay any more than that. We went back and forth a couple of times, and they may have given me all the discounts they could. I got four years of coverage on my car and they did a good job.

    We went back and forth with Anthony from CARCHEX as far as trying to get things that I wanted for a reasonable price and whatnot, and also what I considered was a reasonable price. The guy gave me the information I asked when I asked for it and followed up with my text with the information I needed. I've been pleased with my experience with them since I’ve had the warranty since ‘08 and I just renewed. I’ve only had one situation to where it was a little stressful but everything is not perfect.

    The process of getting the people that's repairing the car is also not as fast as it needs to be. It puts a business person sort of on edge and hesitant because they have to call back and forth so much and wait for somebody to get back. It ties the company up on the phone back and forth, trying to get the approval. They’re losing money because they don’t have the time to be on that phone so if If they can make that a more pleasant experience or faster returning situation that will be a great help for clients like me.

    I can get my car done much quicker rather than it sitting there and them going back and forth, trying to get in touch with the CARCHEX and CARCHEX not calling them back fast enough. The process shouldn’t take a day or whatever because then that puts me in a rent-a-car, so it’s creating more money. They pay it out from CARCHEX. Nevertheless, I’ve already recommended them to a couple of clients and because of my recommendation my daughter got warranted for my granddaughter’s car in Memphis. It's all good.

    We’ve purchased two used vehicles and I’m taking my son to Nevada and my daughter's moving to North Carolina. I looked into extended warranties so they would have a little bit of extra protection should something happen to the vehicles that would incur a huge bill. I did some research online and felt that CARCHEX had good reviews. When I called to talk to their reps, they were very knowledgeable and they called back when I had time to talk it over with my kids to make sure that this was something that we all wanted and could afford. Then they helped us to try to find the right policy.

    I talked to a couple of other places. One was very pushy. Their rep called three times and wanted us to sign immediately. I told him that if it were me, I could make the decision, but it was also for my children and I needed to discuss this with them. I did not like that. CARCHEX did not do that. They were very understanding, that this was a different kind of situation and they made it very easy to get the deal. They even emailed things to my kids so they have those until the actual policies come in the mail. Additionally, we could do it in two years' payments instead of 18 months, which was very nice 'cause that gives us a little more freedom with expenses. Overall, we had a very good experience with CARCHEX.

    My car was getting close to being out of the factory warranty and given the cost of repairs nowadays, I wanted to have extended coverage. I spoke to some companies and with a couple of them, it was like dealing with a used car salesman. They kept pushing and pushing. I spoke to a girl from CARCHEX and I was sold on them. She was very professional and not pushy. She answered my questions and explained everything very thoroughly. Though she was busy when I called to finalize everything, the sales manager who wrapped everything up was also very professional. I got excellent assistance from them and they handled things very well. The whole experience was great and without a doubt I’d recommend people to them.

    My car was about to reach 100,000 miles and my current warranty policy with American Financial Warranty Corporation was about to expire. I purchased another one with them and thought everything was fine. A few weeks later when I was really close to 100,000 miles, they sent me a letter saying that I didn’t qualify because of some missing information or some information in my application and I thought, “Now, that’s really strange.” I was kinda disgusted about that and that’s when I went to Consumer Reports and found that CARCHEX had the top-rated plan of just about anybody. I signed up with them but then, lo and behold, American Financial Warranty then sent me a letter last Saturday saying, “We’re so happy you’ve renewed your policy.”

    I contacted the car company where I’ve got the policy and said, “Thanks, but no thanks.” And about that time, the car company had refunded me the policy based on the letter I got from American Financial. I was very happy that it happened because I like CARCHEX much better than them. I bought the plan from CARCHEX on the phone and it was extremely easy. However, there was just an issue when I called them because the number I got off of the website was different.

    I was momentarily concerned that I might not have a legit company, just some entity that was trying to get credit card numbers. There are too many phone numbers associated with them and there should be just one customer service number. Other than that, CARCHEX explained that the warranty doesn’t go into effect until 30 days. Still, stay away from American Financial and go to CARCHEX. The car company where I bought my car said that they’re gonna start referring to CARCHEX instead of American Financial based on my experience.

    I just purchased my Benz from someone and got CARCHEX a week ago. My Benz is old and I wanna feel safe and secured about having to prop it along and get it fixed. CARCHEX was ranked number three out of the top 10 categories that I was looking on. Usually with other companies, I have to be directly broke and be completely out or if I have an engine problem, the engine has to be completely dead. But with CARCHEX, if I'm having some type of problem with my engine, although not a pre-existing one, I can take it in. It was good and that set them apart from the others. Shawn, the CARCHEX guy who helped me out wasn’t pressuring me, trying to sell the plan. It sold itself and that was a plus to me. Their payment plan is also okay. Their number was a little high so they gave me a discount. The contract is for two years and for 24,000 miles which is 12,000 miles a year, but they gave me an additional 12 months.

    It was for security and peace of mind that I looked into acquiring an extended coverage for my vehicle. I did some research and comparison, and I read some consumer reviews on CARCHEX' site. I was also looking at a couple of their competitors that called me and I told the CARCHEX repthat I got on the phone that I was gonna think about it if I wanna go with them versus another warranty company that was rated highly on the ConsumerAffairs site. But this rep took time to really explain to me the pros and cons, and I was very impressed with CARCHEX, so I said they can have my business.

    Purchasing my warranty from CARCHEX was a very good experience and a seamless process. I spoke to a couple of reps and I was very pleased with their customer service and their ability to answer all of my questions. They assisted me very well. For me, having a vehicle warranty is case by case. If you have the financial means, then you don’t need car protection. But even if I have the financial means, I still like the peace of mind that a warranty provides.

    We purchased a car in June which had 90,000-something miles on it and so, I’m trying to prepare. I've learned that if something happens to it that’s covered, I won’t have to be paying a whole lot out of my pocket to get it fixed. I had CARCHEX before that I got through the dealership because we purchased a vehicle in 2016. In 2017, we were rear-ended and it was totaled. I took it to CARCHEX at CarMax a couple of times and the service was good so I figured that it would more likely be similar from my experience. When I was buying the coverage, the salesperson came back with the original quote but I told him that it was out of my budget and I was looking for something a little lower. So, he had to speak to his supervisor and we came down to an amount that I could afford. When I called, he returned my call promptly and then he clarified something for me, and so that was pretty good and I didn’t have to wait a long time.

    The warranty ran out on my a 2011 Prius and I wanna keep it going for a while longer. At that point, I thought I should look into getting an extended warranty to make sure that I'm gonna get covered if I had one of the huge repair things. Priuses don't break down very much but when they do, it's very expensive to repair. I've been contacted by so many extended warranty companies in the past year. I was getting really tired of them calling me. I complained to all of them to please leave me alone and to stop calling me. They kept saying, "Last chance," but would call again. I needed to proactively do something instead of complaining and screaming all the time. I just had to trust and decide and I did. I think I made the right choice on CARCHEX and I'm very pleased with my warranty. Plus, I'm surprised that it wasn't very expensive.

    Also, I'm very happy with my rep, Benjamin. He was so nice and fun. He was a really cool cat and I really appreciate his help. I'm not very friendly sometimes but Benjamin was very kind and slow to speak to me. He calculated the mileage and let me take my time to go out there, get the mileage and do this. I appreciate that so much. He's trying to lalala on prices and said that I might want the silver and this and this. I said that I've had a brain injury and what he's doing was stuffing the cotton. I'm not stupid but I'm a very slow thinker and slow to understand. I said give me the bottom line, how much for how long and tell me what it does. He did, which I liked. He said it was gonna be $1,792 a month, this is what it does. I just have to take my card in and do this.

    I'm glad to have gotten it over with. I sent my little email thing and I had gotten the thing in the email which he said he would do, which is what I needed. I had a good experience and I would tell other people to get CARCHEX. Like the girl over by Toyota who I talk to when I have to get things fixed in my car. She rents me a car for the day if I needed it and her warranty went out too. I'm gonna go over there and tell her about CARCHEX. I'll tell her it is the best one ever.

    I had an old vehicle that I didn’t get a warranty on and it needed $13,000 worth of work. So when I traded it in, I vowed to get a warranty on my next vehicle. The dealer where I bought my next vehicle said that they had a 90-day warranty and that I had a chance to purchase a warranty through whatever company they had. I called to check on it and I signed up for it. They said that they tried to take the first payment out of my account, but it didn’t show any withdrawal attempts and I didn’t get any overdrafts. They were sketchy. They asked me to provide another card, but I said, “No. I’m done. I’ll just find somebody else.” That's when I found CARCHEX.

    I started an online quote and as soon as I hit the send button on the quote, I got a phone call and the people at CARCHEX were on it. I had a great purchasing experience with them. They were excited and well-attentive, but they weren’t pushy so that was appreciated. They did what they could to help and I appreciated the salesperson. He helped me out quickly and I told him everything about my vehicle and also about my previous experiences. He was courteous, to-the-point and didn’t beat around the bush. The number he came up with was a bit high and I didn’t wanna pay over what they were wanting me to pay. He said, “Let me get my manager and we’ll see if we can get you a discount.” I moved up a plan from silver to gold, which was $20 more and I got the coverage I wanted.

    I was with Protect My Car and a buddy of mine told me to look at other places, which could probably give me a better deal. I looked around and I saw a list, which included Protect My Car and CARCHEX. I called CARCHEX and I was gonna work my way up but the rep, Sean, gave me a good plan with bumper to bumper coverage so I just stayed there. He walked me through the plan slowly and told me what I should be looking out for. He broke it down for me and told me what to do and who to call if I have a problem. He also gave me his number in case I had any more questions. Then I told him I was gonna call. I did and he told me everything about the plan. I told him I was gonna call him back a few days later and that started everything. He also made sure to reach out to me.

    Since then, having the plan has been very valuable to me. My car is an older model and I bought it straight cash out. I've bought used cars a few times before and a few months later, it always goes bad. I've had my car for six months now and I wanted to make sure I get something to cover me in case something goes bad. CARCHEX is probably the best option I had and I had a good experience with them.

    Unexpected expenses are not fun, especially when they’re car repairs. I’ve already put a significant number of miles on the car due to travelling down to Nashville and back a couple of times a month. Now, I also do Uber part-time. So I tried to stay on top of it and covered it just in case. Carchex was the first one to give me information that was useful when I inquired with different companies online. They were very upfront about their offer and what they could do for me and there was nothing hidden. I was very comfortable working with them.

    Their representative was great. He answered all my questions and got back to me in a timely manner. He also didn’t try to pressure me into anything. And when I finally got down to it, he got back to me with another deal that was too good for me to pass up, so I went ahead. The customer service was great. They worked through and explained everything to me, and I would definitely recommend them. Now I know that once my actual factory warranty is up and as long as I got $100 in my pocket, my car is covered. I am not gonna worry about coming up with three grand to get my car fixed. That peace of mind it gave me is just immeasurable.

    I had been getting calls from other companies about an extended coverage for my vehicle and I decided to research. CARCHEX seemed to have good reviews and was a larger company. Their reps explained the coverage well and my experience in purchasing the warranty was very good. A vehicle protection plan is pretty important. This is for the car that my daughter uses and she appreciates having it.

    I signed up a questionnaire for CARCHEX online that said somebody will call me and they did. Every day for five days in a row, they would call and it’s either I’m not available or my wife’s car is not available. Their rep was persistent and when we finally talked he asked me what my car was including the numbers. They’re quite detailed questions and I gave them the information. They have my number plus the mileage and they sent me an email so that night I signed up with them.

    Once I signed up I called them and asked for some information but nobody called me back and I wish they would. I wanted them to send me an email so I can have an account number and sign up for monthly payment through my bank because the initial payment was through a credit card and I don’t wanna keep on paying through that. It was a burner credit card which means if the bill goes through it during that time, it will be rejected and I’ll end up with a late fee for charging. Also, the email that they initially sent before I signed up said a discount but they never offered it. They said I also have a military hero discount but they never offered me that.

    My purchase for CARCHEX's warranty was really easy. The rep, Alicia, had a good personality and was nice to talk to. I then referred it to Garry and we bought the warranty at the exact same time. We both have 2006s and the warranty expired a long time ago. I have high mileage on mine and he’s got a decent mileage on his. I knew the company would cover his car and I wanted to see if they would cover mine too and they did. With older cars, a warranty is very valuable. I would have liked to get a bumper to bumper but I got a 2006 so I knew that one won’t have it. We got the warranty for the engine and drive train though.

However, their office was closed and I had needed the warranty ASAP because I was heading off to work. Then MX Warranty was charging too much. I then got a warranty from CARCHEX.

    I bought the car used and the dealer kind of wove the warranty into my financing. But the warranty was expiring and I was having trouble finding another one. I got something from Fiat and I talked to them but it was pricey. CARCHEX's pricing, on the other hand, was a bit better and the plan was very comprehensive. Also, the sales rep who sold it to me was really clear and detailed. He was good because for me when you’re dealing with warranties, like the warranty I have, everybody’s always trying to say you get different warranties and then when you need to use them, they never work. I was grumpy ‘cause that day I was trying to get something covered on the car and I wasn’t sure it was gonna happen. He was so patient and said that he hopes it gets covered.

    I didn’t feel like he was trying to talk me into doing something that I didn’t want. Sometimes when you’re telling somebody, “All right. Here’s the deal,”, they’ll come back to you and tell you why you’re wrong. And that’s annoying. The rep, however, said he completely understood. He was great. I got really busy and forgot about it but he was consistently following-up a few times until I decided that I wanted the warranty. I'm hoping that the plan I purchased is valuable in case something goes wrong. I feel a good sense of peace of mind.

    We bought a used car and the warranty on it played out. The dealership offered extended coverage and it was a lot of money. I called Ryan from an ad on the television and I said we would call CARCHEX. We thought we should get it because it covers everything our insurance doesn’t cover. The price was a lot better than the dealership.

    Ryan was helpful, answered questions and did not seem pushy. We said we had to wait and think about it because we were going through a thing with the dealership and we wanted to know if it was gonna be taken care of. He said that it was fine. If all of CARCHEX's salespeople were like Ryan, they are gonna make a trillion dollars. Then he called back on the last day of the month and said that instead of 18, they were gonna extend the payment to 24 months. It was a lot less than the one the dealership offered. I thought he was keeping us in mind, which I liked. I figured Ryan will be there whenever we need him. He said to be sure and look over our contract when we get it and the things that CARCHEX lists.

    The last thing he said was that it has roadside service. I asked if we were getting a lot of duplicate services because our insurance covers roadside service. He said our insurance covers accidents and crashes, but the warranty covers everything, like if the engine doesn’t work anymore. When you get an extended coverage, even though it is so much a month, it will pay for itself. The one time you use it, it will pay for everything for the two years since you’ve had it.

    I bought a new car, however, I felt that the extended warranty the dealership offered was expensive. Plus, the guy at the dealership was pushy and asked why I wouldn’t want to protect my car. Of course, I wanted to protect my car, but I didn’t want to pay $6000 for it if I didn’t have to. He left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I started checking into other companies and CARCHEX happened to be one of the ones that I came across. I liked that CARCHEX had an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and that it had a long history of being in business. Those two things that really stood out to me. I also liked the offer of the product. It seemed comparable, if not better than what the dealership had offered me and at half of the price.

    The guy that I talked to, Bill, was very professional and explained everything. He was persistent, but not in an annoying way. We had a hard time getting together and talking because of the way my hours were versus his hours, but, he continued to follow up and we were finally able to talk and make a plan. He was also very nice. He would call and leave a message saying that he was trying to catch up with me and that he understood that my hours were a little bit off. He asked me to just give him a call when I could. Bill made it easy to get a hold of him. He would always let me know when he would be there and what his extension was. We also emailed back and forth as well. I didn’t feel like I had the typical salesman experience where they’re forcing the product down your throat, which was what I felt from the dealership. There wasn't any, "If you don’t buy this now, this price is gonna change." We finalized the deal on Monday and it was a good experience.

CARCHEX worked with me on the price and brought it down from $300 to $200. They didn’t haggle me and the quote at that price was for all the big stuff, like the engine, the transmission and the electrical system. Everything was pretty much in there at that price. On the other hand, CarShield quoted me $150 down and $100 a month but it would be only the big stuff or only the electrical, the smaller stuff. It wasn’t a combo of both like CARCHEX’s.

    When we bought our vehicle, I thought that like many of our cars in the past, we would be keeping it for eight to ten years. After purchasing the contract for an extended warranty, I got to thinking in depth about this and the primary reason that we bought the car was for safety reasons and because over 50% of the driving of it is going to be done by our children. The reps at CARCHEX were pleasant and good salesmen, and it was easy reaching out to them.

    The plan started out three times as expensive as what I later found out I could get from Honda Corporation of America as an extended warranty. CARCHEX was originally charging me $3,300 and then the rep said, "Let me go check with my manager and see if we can give you the same special we had last week." There was three minutes of silence, then the rep said that I was in luck and that they could still honor last week's special. The rep also said that they could lower it down to 2,800 and since I am a senior citizen, they lowered it further to 2,400.

But he’s getting older and he doesn't wanna do it anymore, so I needed to find something so I wouldn’t be stuck with a repair that I couldn’t fix and he didn't wanna fix. I initially went online and did a Google search to find out what are better extended warranties and I got the two top ones--CARCHEX and Endurance. CARCHEX got to me first, but Endurance called and they came at a lower rate and offered the same amount of years but more miles. I was gonna go with them but then I called CARCHEX back and talked to a nice guy. His name is Adam and he was very nice and informative.

    He looked at the contract that I was going to get with them and he told me it was missing a lot of stuff, so I was very happy about that because most companies just want your money and they don’t go the extra mile. Adam was just upfront. Then after I went back, reread the contract and looked over a few things that Adam had pointed out, it was not worth going with Endurance so I called and canceled them and stayed with CARCHEX. The only thing was when I first signed up with CARCHEX, I thought I was getting CARCHEX but I’m not. My car is actually being done by American Auto Shield.

    When they asked me how many miles I drove a year, I told them between 18000 and 20000. I got a 5-year plan with 75000 miles and that’s 15000 miles a year. They said that if I happen to reach the end of my miles, they would redo my policy. I didn’t wanna redo my policy in five months but I was hoping to get more miles out of the five years since I drive almost 20000 miles a year. That was a bit of a downer but it’s okay for the amount of money that I have to spend.

I did some research prior to calling and I had an idea of how the coverage would be. I looked into the website and that was explanatory. When I called and enrolled, the rep also explained a lot of what was included in the package and that I would get a mailing of the full detail of the coverage soon. The experience was straightforward and fast, and I was happy. There was a 30-day window before the warranty would be effective but they were able to link with my car fast.

    I thought the cost of their policy could have been a little bit less, but that was the price that he quoted, so I went on with it ‘cause some other company was a little bit higher than that. But for what the coverage is, I feel pretty good because it covers a lot of the engine, a lot of the electric since it’s a plus, and I feel a little comfortable with it. If it comes down that I really needed them for particular things to get done, that it will be taken care of with that contract. I would recommend CARCHEX.

He went over the differences between one coverage and the next and what it is for, and also the different coverages for me. He did a good job and I was pleased with the information that I received. I opted for the one that was recommended for me. I feel pretty good about it and it makes sense to me. They offer a pretty good coverage and the types of what they offer is worth the money in essence.

    I like my truck but I had a couple of problems with it under warranty. So I wanted to keep track and wanted to make sure that I wasn't gonna get hit with a $4,000 expense with the ignition issue that it was having. I looked up overall reviews and CARCHEX is not all great but against other companies, they were pretty good. I called, asked some questions and their rep answered to my satisfaction. I did some more shopping around then the rep called and asked me if I was ready. I said that I wasn’t and he asked me when he could call back. I let him know and he called me back. Then he explained their product thoroughly and I signed up. Purchasing the plan was easy and straightforward.

    All these electronics scare me about my truck. It has 100,000 miles on it and the regular warranty went out, so I figured it was time I got an extended coverage. I went online, checked out several providers and looked at consumer reviews, and CARCHEX was rated number one. I got a rep named Sean and he was outstanding. I liked his attitude as he wasn't pushy.

    I bought a car very recently and I considered giving an extended coverage a try to see how it goes and know how it works. I compared the prices of CARCHEX and Endurance and CARCHEX gave a lesser amount, and the waiting period was also less than that of Endurance. I also got a quote from CarShield of 200 bucks, which made a difference of $100.

    Purchasing my protection plan from CARCHEX was seamless and everything was done within 15 minutes. The reps did well in assisting me. I had a nice interaction with the sales rep who sold me the plan and he explained to me what was covered and what wasn't under the plan, and also about the roadside assistance. He got all the information required and in the end I told them my card number, even though the payment was set up. The warranty was good and I would recommend it to a friend. I had a great experience and I got what I needed. I decided to sell my car since I didn't want to keep it once my internship as a graduate student was over, but I would love to keep my warranty with CARCHEX.

I have to talk to the customer loyalty department that as of now is not available. I was on hold then a recording states, "No one is available to answer your call." I still have an powertrain warranty and parts of the contract duplicate the same warranty. Difference, I get new parts if I have a problem, Not like or same as on the car.

    I wanted an extra layer of protection and when I bought the plan from CARCHEX, the specialist was informative and friendly. If you have a brand-new used vehicle, the protection plan is very valuable and it’s something that you wanna have. The pricing was a little high, especially since it’s not bumper-to-bumper, so that was just not cool. My dad just got an extended warranty on a Range Rover and his car was older than mine but he still got bumper-to-bumper. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone with CARCHEX because that was the first option that I came up with. But it’s okay.

    I previously traded in a vehicle over 100,000 miles and it needed work done. I paid for it and it still needed more work done so I purchased a used vehicle and I decided to get an extended warranty for it because it was over 100,000 miles. I looked online and in the top 10 warranty companies, CARCHEX was listed as number three. I contacted the top three and CARCHEX was the first one to get back with me to let me know that they can cover the vehicle and in full, such as the brakes and suspension, so I went with them. They were a bit more expensive but they cover vehicles with over 100,000 miles which was pretty good.

    I had a smooth transaction with the specialist and I didn’t feel pressured to purchase a warranty. They let me know that there were things I could look at online prior to my warranty coming to the house so that I would be more aware of what they cover. The customer service was good and they were friendly on the phone. CARCHEX is doing well although they are $50 to $80 more than other warranties which can be an issue if they don’t live up to their reputation of fixing my car when there are certain things wrong. But as far as experience, it was great. Having the protection plan was one of the biggest reasons why we were able to buy a vehicle with this amount of mileage on it because there was going to be an extended warranty. The whole purpose of having a warranty is I can get what I need to be done when I need it.

    I have more miles on my car than most cars because I’m here in California, so sometimes certain warranties don’t pick me up unless the vehicle is of a certain model. It’s always a possibility that something could happen with any car, new or old, and so it is always wise to have an extended warranty on cars. If something happens, I have it and I have a backup. I did some searching and I liked what CARCHEX offered. It was very affordable for me to go with CARCHEX. I liked the customer service. I also liked Ben. He was very professional and very workable, and he answered all my questions. I had a good interaction with Ben about getting the policy and I went with my gut feeling.

It increased since past month and the original plan I had expired and it is no longer available. We would have to get another one and it's more expensive. Still, I like having a vehicle protection plan. You never know what will happen and if you don't have it, you'll be up a creek without a paddle.

    I have contacted the Carchex customer service and HQ office since April 2018, trying to get resolution to my auto repairs that I have been paying fees to cover. Carchex has given me the runaround with the issues with my car warranty providing subpar and beyond poor service. First, I purchase the Technology Package for this car warranty last year. I found out later that in their internal computer it states I have lesser package but on my printed documents it states I have the Technology package that covers my repair challenges. Secondly, I started calling in April 2018 when my air conditioner, water pump, and passenger window started malfunctioning. I have been waiting for verbal and written authorizations for these repairs to be performed since I purchased the Technology package to cover these items.

    After waiting, I visited my local auto repair company who provided an estimate to Carchex in the interim. The repair company and I are still waiting in July 2018 to hear from CarChex to resolve these issues and repairs. Although Carchex says it is "committed to providing the best products and the best service in the industry", the fact is their commitment is just on paper but not in execution. Jason ** is a polite man, but he has no integrity and his customer service is absolutely terrible. As my original account executive, it always takes weeks for Jason to return phone calls after making the sale. I believe I am being led on just to pay my warranty charges, but not to receive any service or help with my situation. I have tried to contact his superior, Tom, but to no avail.

    I have paid for the "Technology Package" to be on my warranty and it's clearly stated on my contract, but any time I need my car serviced, I am told that I do not have the "Technology Package". When I purchased my contract, I was told that due to the amount of miles on my car I would have to pay a higher deductible which is no problem. Needless to say, I use to be a faithful client to Carchex, referring others to them. But their poor response time, mishandling of what is covered on my warranty, confusion over the package I have, and lack of attention to details does not promote customer loyalty. Just last week, I was told by Jason everything was approved but the TPMS Sensors.

    After contacting the Royal Administrator, I was told that based on the policy I have, only the window motor and water pump is allowed. Once again, more confusion. I do not understand why it takes over four months to get my car issues resolved. Therefore, same yourself from the grief, do not used Carchex as it appears they are totaling fine with taking your money, causing confusion, and not handling your claims in a professional, efficient manner.

    My husband and I purchased a warranty for $3000 over a month ago by phone. He called and got a quote, and clearly stated my mileage. We decided to wait and shop around. He called back two weeks later, gave updated mileage, and made our purchase. First, I never received my welcome package. Then, last week, we were trying to get in contact with Carchex to see where our welcome package was, but every time my husband called, he got a voicemail saying the office was closed, even during business hours! So we looked up our email receipt from our purchase to find our sales associates number. When we clicked on the link to find his information, we noticed Carchex listed our mileage almost 12,000 miles HIGHER than what our vehicle has and what we CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE VEHICLE!

    My husband clearly gave our mileage when we purchased! When we finally got someone on the phone, we were told that they would go back and listen to the recorded phone conversation and it would be fixed, and we would be called. The man on the phone said he saw that the original quote was for 111,9** miles, and our purchase was only 2 weeks later. How could we go from 111,** miles to 124,500 miles in 2 weeks? Now, no one will answer our calls, even during business hours! What if something would have happened to our vehicle?? If Carchex will correct the issue, I will update my review.

I liked the rating of CARCHEX on the internet and their rep knew what he was talking about, explained it well and we just changed our minds. Plus, he called back when he said he would. But after thinking about it, with this low mileage on the car, not much is gonna happen in the time that my father is using it. So, that’s why we decided against it. We need to cancel the accounts because that’s 3,000 a piece which is too high and that’s what my father would like me to do. For someone who has a car with a higher mileage, a vehicle protection plan is valuable but for us, it is not. Still, check CARCHEX out.

    While the people at CARCHEX are honest, some people may not be able to afford the highest coverage. So they should start with the lowest and tell them what they will be getting. By the time they get to the highest, they'll be able to have their mind set on what the best coverage will be. In closing, having a vehicle protection plan is valuable cause you never know when something could happen. It's always good to know you're covered when it comes to certain things with your car. Given my experience, I would recommend CARCHEX and if friends would ask about them, I'll ask what kind of car it is and what coverage are they looking for. Then, I would definitely go into detail about the actual coverage that I have and see if that's what they wanna do.

    It’s really valuable to have a vehicle protection plan. I’ve always had a vehicle and it’s senseless to drive around without a warranty. So, when the warranty I had was to expire in seven months, I checked with a few mechanics and they kept mentioning CARCHEX. CARCHEX's protection specialist was good and very persistent. It took a while to actually get me to purchase the plan, but he was convinced that I should go with CARCHEX.

    We bought a car from our friend and we spent a lot of money on it, so I went to the Ford dealership to ask them about their extended warranty. I thought it over from the computer to see what CARCHEX was saying versus what the Ford dealership was saying as far as the extended warranty, and CARCHEX was better. The gentleman who I spoke with was very pleasant and non-assertive. I had an enjoyable conversation with him. He took care of everything right away which was wonderful. It was a good experience. I would certainly recommend CARCHEX to anyone that needs the protection.

    I've had an extended coverage for my vehicle with CARCHEX for almost two years. It started off with a report from them on the car that I was buying, then I saw that they also provided extended warranties. I looked them up and I liked what I saw, so I signed up with them. I've had a fantastic and very pleasant experience. Their staff was courteous and very knowledgeable and professional. They explained the different packages and the payment methodology for each package, and I got the best package for my needs. When you come off of the manufacturer's warranty, that's typically when stuff starts to break, so having that extended warranty is a lifesaver.

    Having a vehicle protection plan is great for what I bought which was a salvaged title vehicle. It only had 20,000 miles on it and I was looking to put a warranty on it. Prior to CARCHEX getting back at me, I checked with somebody else so I knew what the price was going for a vehicle protection plan. The person I worked with was good and he did everything professionally. I tried to get the price for $85 lower and he talked to his manager, and they went ahead and got it to $85 lower. I may end up getting other insurance through them as he told me that they go in with car tax as well and that’s always a plus for me.

    When you buy a used vehicle, you don't know what you're getting. But I know what I have because I've taken care of it. I was either going to extend the coverage on my car or buy a smaller car but since I had invested so much in my 2006 Ford, I just spent as much money getting an insurance to cover any malfunctions down the line because I really take care of my vehicle. I found CARCHEX online, called in, signed up and paid the money. They deduct the fee from my checking account so I don't really feel it. I don't mind investing the $134 month for 24 months to get me along for three years. I'm 75 years old and I'm not gonna be around forever. So, I just want to have a nice, comfortable vehicle to get around then. But sometimes, it's a hassle proving that I need coverage on something.

    One time, I had an accident. I had a little issue with the doors not closing and at first, they told me it was covered. And then, they told me it wasn't. And then, they told me it was. So, I took the car to my Ford dealership before they changed their mind. They took care of the damage, I paid my $100 and that was it. But they didn't really mention the options available during sign up. They told me they'd send me the manual that has everything in it, but there's just a lot of pages in there and then there's a fine print. And if it's in the fine print, you don't really read it until you need it. And they'd say, "Well, you didn't read page so and so? Well, it wasn't covered." Nevertheless, it's good to know that CARCHEX is there. It looks like any insurance wherein you don't really know until you need it. But if you do, you know it's there.

    Last March 19th I bought a BMW 328i. It's a 2014 and it had 46,000 miles. It's a very expensive car to maintain and I wouldn't buy a car like that unless I had a warranty on it. So I had bought an extended warranty from the dealership. But when I checked into it, I discovered that I got a bum rap. I can't allow myself to be put in a situation where I have repairs and only to find out that the warranty is no good. So before that happens, I proactively decided to go with CARCHEX after I went on Google and did some research. I was very pleased with their A+ credit rating.

    Purchasing the warranty was good. The agent that dealt with me was very knowledgeable, professional, helpful and very good at what he did. I would do business with that particular agent again. When he wasn't able to answer some questions, he brought his manager on the phone. I was very impressed with that. One of the things that really got me sold on CARCHEX was that he was the one who looked up on Google Maps the warranty company that I got from the dealership and saw that the company was in business for less than two years, doesn't have a website, was not with the Better Business Bureau, and was really in a house. I wouldn't buy anything from a company that was in business for less than two years if I knew about it.

    Initially, that company told me that I have 48,000 miles, 48 months warranty. But when I called, they told me that I only had 24 months and 24,000 miles. That was what got me going and I went and filed a claim in the small claims court to get my money back. Hopefully, when I get that money back, I'd be able to pay off my obligation to CARCHEX.

    CARCHEX also sent an email after the transaction with all the information and how to contact them. They walked me through the process of looking at their website and all that good stuff. They were very thorough. I'm really impressed with CARCHEX and from my initial experience with them, they're a great company. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. I hope that if I ever have to file a claim with them, I would be equally impressed.

They made sure I was okay before they went ahead or made sure I was comfortable with whatever they were offering. They thoroughly assisted me and went a little beyond my expectations. However, I didn't sign anything or agree to them taking out any money. I was taking a flight and paying for my bags, and I looked at my account and I only had a dollar in there.

Having a protection plan has been very valuable, from past experience. I previously had a used car and got a warranty for it, and I would've been screwed without that warranty.

Being a used car, it doesn't have a warranty and we thought it would be a good idea to have some coverage on it, so we went ahead and got a three-year plan. I've used it once and it came in handy for the repair. We had it repaired and it cost us a $100 copay deductible. And then it covered the rest.

    I had a couple of mailing from CARCHEX recently. I called the other day and found out what it would cost to renew up for another three years. I inquired and spoke to a supervisor. He tried to find out what the best price was that he could get for me. They came up with the $126 when it had been $98 the prior three years of it. It's gonna be a little hard for us to pay. It will be about $28 more than it was. I wanted to cover any repairs or whatever could happen. It costs me money even if I don't use it, but when I need it, it's nice to have it there.

    I’ve had warranties in cars before and it generally worked out and has paid off. It was for security and to avoid having a costly outlay of money for something that I could have covered much less expensively. The warranties that I have on the vehicle expired or will be expiring in the near future. And I wanted to have some protection in events that I would have a fairly major repair. I consider an extended warranty an insurance where I don’t need it until I need it.

    I researched online and looked at different companies that offered extended service plans. I also looked at ratings of the companies and saw that CARCHEX was one of the more highly rated companies in terms of their services and their coverage. And as I explored it further, I saw that the cost of their service is also competitive. I didn’t know CARCHEX before I’ve done the research but once I delved into it a bit and saw the reviews, I became more comfortable with the company. And I did a comparison with other companies that offered similar services.

    The purchasing experience of my plan went well. I filled up an application online which pretty quickly resulted in a phone call from a sales representative of the company who asked questions and began to form a proposal based on what my answers were and gave me options from the basic to the more complete service. And we went over a period of two or three days and half a dozen phone calls for our conversations with their representative. I had a lot of questions for them after looking at the documentation that was provided such as a sample contract. And I got the answers to my questions with the representatives I talked with online. I felt good that, for whatever reason, I have 30 days to change to my mind if I wanted to do that once I signed up.

    Tim was the principal person that I talked to and he did an excellent job. There wasn’t anything that I asked him that he didn’t seem to know about and he gave me a good, complete response. Initially, I told him that I was not ready to make the decision that day as I needed a little more time. So we talked the next day. And I had more questions and he was able to answer those. He was a good salesman and also a good resource person. He was not trying to rush the deal. Instead, he was very diligent, responsive and patient with me. Having a vehicle protection plan is pretty valuable based on the experience of friends and family. I’ve also had to use those plans because of an issue with my car but I’m hopeful that I will not have a major issue. But, in case I do, I feel comfortable that I’m covered by this company.

    Thank you for your review. We understand the frustration of having a claim denied, however in this case, your center U-Joint is not a component that was listed for coverage on your Vehicle Service Contract.

    As a retailer, we pride ourselves on offering the most comprehensive coverages and fully disclosing the available options to fully protect our customers. In review of your Vehicle Service Contract, you were offered an Exclusionary level of coverage (commonly referred to as Bumper to Bumper) and an Inclusionary, Silver level, Powertrain plus plan.

    The Exclusionary coverage is our highest level of protection and covers everything on the vehicle except a short list of exclusions. This plan would have offered coverage on your repair for the center u-joint but was declined at the time of purchase.

    With the inclusionary coverage purchased, the plan lists the parts that are covered on the vehicle. Any part that is not listed on your contract is ineligible for coverage which was the case for your center u-joint.

    In an effort to ensure the Vehicle Service contract met your needs, a written quote was emailed to you on January 25th for review. When coverage was purchased on 1/26/18, we advised the coverage included a 30 day money back guarantee to allow time to review the contract to ensure the coverage met your needs. With this in mind, an electronic copy of the coverage was emailed for review 1/26/2018 and a hard copy was sent via US Mail. Our records indicate that the electronic coverage was accessed multiple times on 1/25/2018, 1/26/2018, and 1/29/2018.

    As a retailer, we went to great lengths to ensure you were properly informed of the level of coverage you were purchasing. We are sorry you had a non-listed item that needed repair but the claim was denied correctly.

    For the refund, your coverage includes a pro-rated refund for any time/miles you have paid for less the $50 cancellation fee. Included with your refund check is a refund estimate that shows the calculation. If you have any questions with this calculation, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    My interaction with the CARCHEX rep was pretty good but he made a mistake. I clearly told him that I will be paying my payment on the 6th of July, that I was gonna pay it for the month of July and that my next payment would not be until August 29th. But the statement I received online said that my first payment was due on July the 29th. When I called, they told me, “Will you call in on the 6th to make the payment? And the next statement will say August 29th.” That confused me because the had rep told me that the payment would be taken off my card automatically on the 6th of July. I’m still not clear on whether they would just take the money off of my card or if I have to call in that day. But getting extended coverage was the smart thing to do. It is 100% valuable because I would never know what’s gonna happen with the vehicle. It’s like car insurance. I pay it every month and I know that if something happens I get covered. It would save a lot of money.

    Tameka,

    Thanks for your review. Normally our policies are set up to be due on a reoccurring basis on the same calendar day of each month. According to the notes on your account, we show a manual debit is scheduled on 7/6/2018 which will be applied to your July payment. CARCHEX will be processing this payment and sending it to the finance company for your plan. This was a special arrangement which may be why there is some confusion.

    We appreciate your business and if you have any questions regarding this, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    Wanting to take care of my vehicle, I decided to acquire an extended warranty and went with CARCHEX after looking at the reviews online. I've had extended warranty in the past when I needed to use it, and I know people who have needed to have repairs and they did not have a warranty. Thus, it’s very valuable having the protection plan. It's definitely a good cushion to have. CARCHEX is a good company. My experience with them during the purchase was good although the guy I was talking to was new so I got transferred to the manager, who had a little bit more knowledge and experience. He then did everything. I was very comfortable dealing with them. Paying for the warranty is easy too.

    Well I have a current claim with CARCHEX. I purchased an extended warranty with CARCHEX on May 11th. At the time my car was fine didn’t have any problems or anything. Well on June 19th my Vehicle was making a funny noise. So the first thing I did was take it to a shop. So come to find out it was a front end differential. After I got it checked out I called CARCHEX and they said that they are able to cover the front end differential. So after going back and forth with the Mechanic shop and CARCHEX. They decided to tell me that because my account is new that the review will take a couple of days to see if I get approved.

    On top of that they told me that my car was recently purchased which was false. I have one more payment after this month. So now I’m highly upset because I need a vehicle to get around which they was going to provide me with a rental but can’t because my claim is not approved. It just seem like when I was making the purchase the salesman made it seem like it’s a smooth process and CARCHEX will be there to have my back when in need. However I’m now missing out on work because I’m left without a vehicle because it’s at the shop waiting to be repaired.

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate you speaking with us about this claim. We will address your concerns below for this review.

    According to our records, a Ride share Vehicle Service Contract was purchased on your 2006 Jeep Commander on 5/18/2018. This plan included a standard waiting period of 30 days and 1000 miles driven before claims could be called in. A claim was submitted for the differential right after the initial 30 day waiting period.

    The administrator of the coverage sent a 3rd party inspector to your repair shop to document and verify the cause of failure. The inspector submitted his report and documented a seal failure to the differential. The inspector documented several pictures of the leaks including clear/new gear fluid, red RTV Sealant, and road grime indicating a failure that existed prior to the 2 days of active coverage. The inspector also provided his professional opinion that it appeared the differential was recently worked on and repaired improperly.

    At the time of purchase, we have verified our representative read a required closing script that summarized your purchase. During this script, he advised that the Vehicle Service Contract does not cover pre-existing issues, modifications, or salvaged titles.

    While we understand the frustration of having a denied claims, our Vehicle Service Plans cover new failures occurring during the active coverage. In this case, the repairs were long term in nature and denied in accordance with the terms and conditions of your coverage.

    If you have any additional questions about this claim, please feel free to call us at (877)227-2439 Ext 6002.

    When I found out that something was going on with my vehicle, I called the people that sold me the vehicle and they told me the car didn’t have any warranty. I went online and found that CARCHEX was reasonable. The price that they gave me was something that I could afford. Then their agent explained things to me and asked me a couple of questions on why I chose them. I told him that I was trying to find something in my budget range and that the struggle was real so I had to stretch my funds. Then when I said that I was disabled, he lowered the price even more.

    I gotta have my maintenance done and I knew that for the monthly maintenance, as well as the oil change, I would have to pay which was not expensive. It’s just that things get difficult when the money is short and you try to do these things. CARCHEX's specialist broke it down in payments ‘cause I didn’t have money to pay the whole thing and I was grateful for that. He was professional and concerned about me. He didn’t want to put me in anything that I couldn’t afford. He respected me as a customer, and I respected him as a agent. I would definitely recommend them to someone else.

With that as well as the cost of the repairs, I decided to get an extended coverage. I looked at Carchex's credentials online and saw that they were top-rated in Better Business Bureau. Their team was professional too. When I bought the plan, they answered a lot of questions, were very detailed, and went above and beyond. I didn’t have the VIN number and the gentleman I was speaking with was leaving, so he made sure to transfer all my information to the next person. I was able to communicate with them as soon as I got the details and it was a great follow up call.

    I've acquired an extended coverage for my vehicle before. We've bought vehicles that had 35,000 to 40,000 miles on them. And even though they still had to make such a warranty, we recognize one thing that we, as a family, like to do is we like to go back to the dealer to take care of our service. But we also recognize in going back to the dealer, at times, the service costs are gonna be a little higher than going to other service repair groups. So, having the warranty to help us offset and having that experience with CARCHEX previously made me choose them even though there was another organization that talked about their payment or repayment of warranty services being higher than that of CARCHEX. However, I recognized, they had some other exclusions that I needed with my vehicles.

    We had some bumps in the road with CARCHEX, but when I finally got past the bumps, we were able to work through some things. The initial person that I talked to when purchasing the vehicle protection plan from CARCHEX was still listed as the point of contact, although I talked to several other agents. So whatever CARCHEX has behind the scenes for us as a consumer, they were able to pick up where we last left off. I considered a discounted negotiable rate. I went to another warranty broker for another company and CARCHEX matched. The best rate I can get was coming at the door and I didn't have to shop around.

    I have three vehicles and my son has the third one. He's in graduate school. I bought that vehicle with 3 miles on it and it now has 273,000. I have my vehicle which when I just purchased CARCHEX on had 1,000 miles on it from the dealer and now it has 120,000. My wife has another vehicle, so we're about to come into that bumper to bumper warranty. I keep cars, but I take good care of them. It's for my Lyft vehicles. I'll pay off a vehicle and I'll continue to take good care of it and it still looks good. And I'll keep a car a couple of 100,000 miles. And if CARCHEX would like to give me a more competitive rate, I'd appreciate it.

    I already had CARCHEX but my mileage expired, so I had to renew but I wanted to make sure that the pricing was comparative to some of the other people who were calling me and what all it covered as far as the vehicle. I asked the CARCHEX reps if it was the best that they could offer and they offered me some aggressive pricing to be competitive with the other providers. I also asked if there were any other discounts that I qualified for and they called me back and said that they’ve found another one. Also, I used CARCHEX at a time when I needed assistance and they came through for me. So, it made it a lot easier for me to renew with them.

    A lot of times, some of the other warranty people will vaguely tell you what’s covered. The CARCHEX reps were knowledgeable and they gave a breakdown of what items they cover so there’s no misunderstanding or misrepresentation of what they’re providing. A vehicle protection plan is very valuable. With parts that are not as costly, the maintenance or the labor costs more than the parts. With CARCHEX, that goes under the warranty, and you know what your deductible is and you just pay that. I’ve had a situation with my BMW where it came out to be about $2,000 and I only paid 160 bucks. CARCHEX is good for me and I’m a firm believer.

    We bought a 2007 vehicle, which is our primary travel vehicle, so we wanted to make sure that we had more than just drivetrain coverage. I’m still financing a little bit of the vehicle so I was talking to my credit union and they said they can offer me a coverage to qualify for the loan. I asked them for options but they told me that I really didn't have any. They just gave me what they could give me based on the year of my vehicle and stuff. And it was only drivetrain. I told them that I need more stuff than that. So I did some research on who were the top companies and CARCHEX was one of the ones that came up. I reached out online and asked them for more information.

    The rep I dealt with was very helpful in helping me determine what would be covered. He answered all my questions when I asked about some of the things that have occurred in the past regarding the suspension. It was under warranty before and it was replaced. I wanna make sure that if this happens again it’s gonna be covered under the warranty and the drivetrain isn’t gonna do that. So we walked through all those components. And then we went over to the other thing that we discussed in regards to the electrical components and the computer in the car. Those were all add-ons in as far as importance because they’re always a pain when they go out. After checking out a couple of different options, CARCHEX just made the most sense. I was really pleased with the coverage that they offered for the price. Also, going through some transition with work, I told them I can't pay it upfront and they financed it for two years.

    Coverage

    Reviewed June 9, 2018

    CARCHEX was the only company that would provide me with a bumper-to-bumper coverage, so I thought that was kind of nice. Their rep that I spoke with was pretty nice too. He didn't try to bash another company. He also explained the coverage and was very transparent. He was like, “Hey, let me take you to the website and go to this page." So I knew what I was getting before I bought. And that wasn’t my experience when I was looking some time ago for a coverage. There were some companies that I have spoken to in the past and they wouldn't even show me the policy before I would move forward.

    Thanks for your vote!

    I’m in and out of a lot of cars, and I have purchased about 5 warranties through CARCHEX but I never got a chance to use them until about a couple weeks ago. But it made me very disappointed and highly upset because the warranty gave me a really hard way of using it. It was my first claim and it took about two weeks for them to pay on the claim. I didn’t have time to look elsewhere and go with another warranty company. But I spent a lot of money. And I referred at least four different family members to CARCHEX.

    The plan that I have covered what was wrong but it was the claims department that took me through so much for one claim. I've had the warranty for over two years. I have six more months before it will be paid for, and I was highly upset. They signed me up with this new warranty and the representative that I’m dealing with now is Jay and he’s excellent.

    Thank you for your review. We apologize for your frustration and the time it took to complete your repairs. While (2) weeks is not the normal turn around time for claims, we have reviewed your claim and will explain the turnaround time of your claim.

    In review of your claim, the repair shop called in (2) failures on 5/8/2018. On 5/9/2018, our administrator discussed the repair with your repair shop and advised an inspection would be needed to confirm the failures to your rear drive shaft and purge valve as there was a question as to whether the entire rear drive shaft needed to be replaced or whether it could be repaired.

    On 5/15/2018, your repair shop advised your vehicle was back in the shop and ready for inspection. The 3rd party inspector submitted his report on 5/16/2018 and the claim was paid on 5/21/2018.

    While we understand the frustration of having a repair take 2 weeks, there was a need to have the vehicle inspected to verify the failures based on the nature of your specific repairs. Some of this time was related to diagnosis and needed inspection with an additional delay due to the vehicle being unavailable to be inspected.

    Please keep in mind, in the future, if there are any delays or issues with your claim, CARCHEX has it's own customer service team avaialable to help escalate & expedite claims issues on your behalf in the event you have nay problems with your administrator. You can reach us by calling (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

    You have 30 days to test their services. If you cancel within 30 days you will not be charged a cancellation fee. If you cancel after 30 days you will be charged $50. There is no way to test their services within 30 days because you are not allowed to fill up a claim without waiting 30 days and drive at least 1000 miles. I want ALL MY money back... This is a scam!

    Thank you for your review and an opportunity to address your concerns. CARCHEX takes great care to provide coverage from the top Vehicle Protection Companies and coverage is selected by the highest level of coverage at the best value for our customers. We take great pride in being a full disclosure company providing our customers a 30 day money back guarantee to review the coverage to ensure it meets your needs.

    With regards to your purchase, according to our records, you spoke with us on 5/2/2018. Our representative quoted you our highest level of Exclusionary coverage and summarized your purchase including who the administrator of the coverage is and the terms of the purchase. The terms discussed included the level of coverage, the term and miles purchased, that we do not cover pre-existing issues, and that the administrator of your purchase was American Auto Shield. Our representative reviewed the financing information for your purchase and advised there is a 30 Day and 1000 mile waiting period before any claims can be filed.

    At this time you agreed to the terms of the purchase and a digital copy of your coverage was emailed to you. A hard copy of the coverage was mailed to you at this time for your records as well.

    On 5/9/2018, 7 days later, we received a call from you asking if a claim could be filed prior to you making it the 30 day & 1000 mile waiting period. Our customer service representative properly advised you that any failures occurring during the waiting period would be denied coverage and considered a pre-existing issue. No request to cancel was made by you.

    We spoke to you again on 6/6/2018 regarding your claim and again on 6/7/2018. CARCHEX has reached out to the claims administrator, American Auto Shield, on your behalf to determine the status of your current claim. During these calls, we discussed the cancel process, administrator, and pre-existing conditions. Because we are beyond the 30 day Money Back Guarantee, a cancellation fee would apply in accordance with the terms and conditions listed in your contract. Any cancellation made within 30 days receives a 100% refund of all money paid with no fees.

    If you wish to cancel the coverage at this time, please give us a call at 877-227-2439 Ext. 6001. The cancellation instructions is also listed in your contract.

    Best

    I needed an extended car coverage for an older car. The dealership didn’t offer it and I needed to make sure that I have it if I travel. CARCHEX seems to have a more robust program and coverage compared to many others. And also, the gentleman that I spoke with was outstanding and that’s one of the reasons why I went with CARCHEX. And I told him, “You know what, let me think about it. Call me back on this day,” and he followed up on that day. As a woman, I'm not as experienced or knowledgeable about cars and what the extension offers and he was very explicit and detailed into exactly what was offered and I thought that that was more of a great program and I wanted to be a part of it.

    The service was outstanding, overall. Having an extended car coverage is very valuable, and it definitely gives a good peace of mind. So, no matter where I and my family travel, I know we have protection. There is coverage and nothing to worry about. I was under the impression that if anything happens to the car, it can go to any facility within the United States and CARCHEX will pay for whatever is needed.

    CARCHEX sent me the info saying that my current insurance was gonna expire and I called them. I was having a bad day and I told the rep that. And he was having a bad day too. He asked for the numbers on my policy and I told him. But he wrote the numbers down wrong, so he had to write it back. I told him the numbers again and the situation ended to be funny because we screwed up some numbers. We had a good talk and it was fun. We were both laughing by the time we got done on the phone.

    However, I misunderstood something and I had to call him back. I thought the policy was active right away or that when it went through, that by the time my paperwork got here, between 30 days, it’d be active. But it wasn’t. It said on the book that it was so many miles or 90 days. So I asked him about the active date and he gave me his personal office phone number. Other than that, the experience with CARCHEX was all right and I was satisfied. It’s just that we had a little miscommunication there for a bit. It was part my fault and part his because he wasn’t listening clear enough and I was talking too fast. He was trying to sit there and do the computer work and I was sitting here talking. And when he had read the stuff back, it wasn't that. I’ve used CARCHEX before and it has helped a lot because I got things fixed that wouldn’t have gotten fixed without it.

    I was on a forum and I was told that if I was buying a used car then it's nice to check out CARCHEX. I found their price comparable with extended warranties I've had with other cars before. Their protection specialist did well going over the details of the different coverages they had. I had a good purchasing experience with them.

    Very nice guys I talked with. Kind of pushy but overall was given a good deal. Didn't expect to get a call as quickly as I did. Not happy with having to wait 30 days before it's effective, but that's understandable.

    The last time that I had CARCHEX I wasn’t too happy with them. But I gave them another chance because I’ve had three vehicles that I’ve had CARCHEX with. Two were fine and it was the last time that I wasn’t so happy. In fact, I told them I would never come back. But my experience this time was fine. Everything was explained in detail -- the cost and what was covered.
