    I just purchased a vehicle and I wanted to get an extended warranty. My brother in law has Carchex and he gave me their number. I talked to Jay on the phone and I was very pleased with him. He walked me on through the process and explained to me the benefits. I am very pleased with their process and how that went. An extended warranty is something that anyone must have. This is my third BMW and I already experienced having repairs that I had to pay out of pocket. You'd feel comfortable that you've got a cushion there in the event that a repair is needed. The extended warranty is very valuable and it's worth it.

    My vehicle is still in good shape but it has a lot of miles on it. I wanted its motor and transmission covered so I did some research and found CARCHEX to have good reviews. Their rep was also really good. We went back and forth on the emails and she had all the answers. Overall, having a vehicle protection plan is a wise decision and would be really valuable if I had to have a motor replaced.

    I drive my 2016 car to work for two to three days a week and I already drove 35,000 miles. And since I didn't buy a warranty from the dealer, I decided to buy it in case something happens. I knew a dealer that would charge about $2,500 for extended warranty. So I did some shopping online and found CARCHEX to be the most reasonable. I called them and they were very helpful. They gave me all the information, and answered all of my questions. It was a positive first experience.

    I have a car that runs good and it’s in great shape, and I will hang on to it for a while. After all, it’s cheaper to get an extended warranty than it is to get a new car. So I went online and researched for companies that had good ratings with BBB. One of them was CARCHEX. The representative I spoke with was very informative. He was very friendly and he thoroughly assisted me. So far, it's been good. I just hope that what I was told and what’s written in the vehicle protection plan comes through. A lot of places don’t.

    I already have insurance on a vehicle and it's come in handy. And then, I have another vehicle with mileage that is getting up so I looked into getting an extended coverage. I did some research, and from reading the reviews, CARCHEX sounded like it'll be a good choice. And it was easy making the purchase. I called and the rep walked me through all the programs, and I signed up right there and then. I have his phone number and email address if I have any questions.

    The protection plan is very valuable, especially because my vehicle is getting up there in the mileage. It's a peace of mind to have insurance for everything else, so I might as well have it for an expensive vehicle. I'm hoping I don't ever have to use it but at least I know it's there. Overall, the experience was straightforward. They sent me the contract so I can review it myself and there’s a chance to cancel within three months. So they gave me plenty of time.

    I was looking into acquiring an extended coverage for my vehicle and tried a couple of companies. But CARCHEX’s price was right in the ballpark so I bought a plan from them. The protection specialists fed me answers to questions and there was no problem at all. It’s good to have an insurance policy in case of any problems. And if the truck gets a little older, it's going to be more valuable.

    I had good experience with my previous warranty and since I wanted to give myself a little peace of mind, I looked into getting an extended coverage. CARCHEX was able to price match with someone different and give an additional year on the warranties. It was easy to purchase the warranty but I was highly pressured to do it. The particular customer service rep that called me back was a little pushy and rude. He was a little overzealous. He called me about six times in three days because it was near the end of the month. I didn't realize I was calling so closely in the month to where it was going to put him under a talisman to try to get me to buy it but the warranty itself seemed to be fairly straightforward.

    CARCHEX itself had a good name, and I figured that was good enough. And on the first call that the rep did, I sent him information to price match and I told him I was looking at another company previously. He immediately pulled them up and tried to tell me how horrible they were according to the Yelp reviews. There was one negative review out there and it was from 2012. It's not very good way to bad mouth the competition in order to sell your product. And then, he sent me a quote which was way high. I sent him what I was looking at which was better-priced. Overall, he was no help in the process. I kind of wanted him to step out of the way of the process and just let me look it over and do it as I thought. But in the end, they price matched and gave me the extra year.

    I wouldn't have gotten the warranty if I decided later on that I didn't want it. I was thankful that I had 30 days to cancel. I didn't want to lose it but I didn't really have time to go through it as well as I wanted to before I had to pull the trigger. I was a little pressured to do so, so I went ahead and got it so it wouldn't disappear. The rep left a message that said, "It's the end of the month, I'm not sure if you're going to do it or not. But since it's the end of the month. They're not going to keep it out there long." So I went online and did it myself.

    CARCHEX has been my extended warranty since I've had the car in 2000. Their reps explained everything to me to the best of their ability and they told me what I have with the package. My experience in getting them was good although I have never had to use their services as of yet. I've got a good vehicle and it's good to have somebody that I could call when needed and it won't be a problem. I didn't use the first $2,000 that I paid out for the warranty at all. I didn't even know the warranty has ended until I sent something in and they sent a check back telling me that I paid it out in full because I never used it. It would be stupid to have a car and not have a protection plan or extended warranty on it because the maintenance cost is too high. So far, the amount and the package that I have will serve me well.

    I already have an existing policy on my Mercedes and I wanted to get a little more time with the program, so I extended it. I read and compared other policies to one another, and CARCHEX had the least exclusions and it covered a lot of items that may tend to have issues. Purchasing the plan was a fairly easy and straightforward experience. I knew what I wanted and the price was right since this was the second time and the vehicle was a little bit older. I was able to purchase something that was close to the previous plan that I had so it was a good deal.

    CARCHEX thoroughly assisted me throughout the process especially with the programs that they offered. They have so many different options. I would have paid a little more to have gotten something that covered more but they didn't offer that nor did any other programs out there.

Getting a vehicle protection plan just made sense. I've learned to make good sound decisions, especially as I got older, and I don’t make decisions lightly. When I’m investing my money in something, I want to know what I’m getting for my money.

I’ve also been real pleased with Carchex, as far as fulfilling claims, and the coverage has been good for me.

    My parents recommended Carchex to me. It had a good coverage, and purchasing the plan was quick and simple. They were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and I even got a hold of them quickly. Also, acquiring an extended coverage was a good idea. I had no plans for upgrading or switching out to a different vehicle, so it was good to make sure my current vehicle was taken care of, especially since a couple of months ago I had to switch out the battery. I would like to make sure that if anything bigger happens, I have it covered. Having a vehicle protection plan is very valuable because you never know when something is going to come up. For me, it can happen at any second and suddenly you need to have money to have parts of your car replaced.

He went through the coverage and advised me certain things that I had failed to look up like the advanced electronics packages and the key replacement, which I also included in my warranty. Also, a lot of these companies won't let you take your car to the dealership, but the gentleman said that they would allow me to take it to the BMW dealership with CARCHEX.

    I shopped for extended warranty and found this one to be the best available with the interest-free financing and useful coverage. The optional coverage was a factor in my decision to go with CARCHEX. The only reason it is not a 5-star is that the "COOLING SYSTEM" coverage, covers the water pump, but NOT the RADIATOR. The radiator is a major component of the COOLING SYSTEM. Thus, they deny coverage of a MAJOR COOLING SYSTEM component. Other than that, I am satisfied with the coverage and professionalism of the staff.

    I bought a vehicle and I needed an extended coverage for it. Having vehicle protection is extremely valuable. I searched the internet for extended coverage providers and CARCHEX was the first one I found. Overall, purchasing my vehicle protection plan from them was easy. I spoke about four times with the rep and asked him specific questions on what kind of coverage it was, what items were covered, when the coverage will start, and if I can renew once it's over with. It has only been a month since I got the auto warranty and, so far, I've had a good experience with CARCHEX and they've been very helpful and informative.

    CARCHEX is the one I’ve had for the last four years. Their rep called me and talked with me about the extended coverage for my vehicle. Purchasing the extended coverage was okay and it was easy. I communicated with their protection specialist just fine. He answered the questions I had about the coverage if it was the same as what I had before. The plan is valuable that if something went wrong with your car, you would want to be able to get it fixed without it costing you a lot of money.

    UPDATE 8/15/17_I was able to speak with a CarChex manager concerning the misunderstandings and am pleased to say we were able to reach a satisfactory resolution. Thanks very much.

    Original Review: Aug. 6, 2017

    I've been paying on this CarChex extended warranty since 3/2016. Had to have my 2007 Ford Explorer towed for repairs due to an overheating situation. Since I'm a member of AAA I had it towed to one of their local repair centers at 10403 Park Road. CarChex paid $189.65 less $100 deductible towards a $526.40 bill. I paid $436.75 when I only expected to pay the deductible. Although the CarChex contract says they will pay a reasonable diagnostic fee, they paid ONLY 1.1 hours of the diagnostic fee and NOTHING towards the $108.86 labor charge to actually repair the vehicle.

    The repair shop charged $109.95 diagnostic fee to pressure test the system for leaks, $108.86 labor to install a thermostat assembly (thermostat + thermostat housing) costing $134.99, and a mandatory cooling system flush and fill at $72.00 labor, $57.34 parts ($29.34 coolant flush kit + $28.00 Max Life Antifreeze). When I called CarChex to explain why they were only paying $90.98 only towards $271.42 total labor charges they said they could only pay 1.1 hours of labor for any reason.

    CarChex said they could only pay $61.76 towards the thermostat and housing based on parts from places like AutoZone, Pep Boys and Advance Auto. I asked her where that was written in the CarChex contract and she pointed me to the section 'If Your Vehicle Incurs a Breakdown' section 1C which says "Take your vehicle to a licensed repair facility of your choice". Since I don't have a regular mechanic I had it towed to a "licensed repair facility" which I erroneously thought would satisfy this stipulation and that all costs would be covered as per a previous extended warranty that I had before paying off the vehicle and who covered 100% of the repair costs for a radiator(no deductible on that one).

    CarChex said that the service rep only said that they were repairing the thermostat and not the housing too. So I called AAA to see if that was the case and the service rep said she'd told them everything being repaired. I called CarChex back and spoke with a different customer service person and they said that AAA had not said anything about the housing and I offered to fax them the bill AAA had given me but CarChex told me to contact the repair shop. So I called AAA back and she said she did tell CarChex and furthermore that if I didn't want the mandatory flush and didn't agree with the markup on their parts that I could have my vehicle towed elsewhere. She did not give me the breakdown bill of what CarChex actually paid for along with the bill showing the total amount I had to pay but I told her I'd sort it out with CarChex later.

    Upfront I'd asked her (Kaitlyn) if AAA accepted extended warranties and she assured me they did but later she couldn't figure out how to bill the charges out which made me wonder if she had indeed relayed the correct information to CarChex. I disagreed with AAA on the mandatory flush since it that had already been done previously and questioned the markup on the parts price of the thermostat assembly since I had priced it ($72.99) at the same place they got their parts and from previous experience know they have good parts.

    So I basically got stuck with overpaying for a repair since CarChex decided what they would pay as opposed to paying the claim less the deductible but did not stipulate in the contract HOW they arrived at what they would pay although the CarChex contract at 2A says they would pay a reasonable diagnostic fee... but not the labor to actually repair the vehicle?!!!

    I got a warranty in April and my O2 sensor just went out and they denied the claim. When I called to ask why it was denied the Rep said because air fuel sensor is not covered. Well, I talked to several different mechanics who all told me the same thing, the air fuel sensor is a newer terminology for 02 sensor. Rep was not helpful or knowledgeable. I had the dealership submit the claim again under a 02 sensor. The dealership said they came back and CARCHEX would only cover 240 dollars!

    The reason I have this warranty is so I don't have to pay out of pocket for repairs that are covered on the warranty. Also all parts they use are aftermarket which is stupid for the price you pay for this warranty. All I should have to pay is my deductible. The dealership also said they are a horrible company and don't want to work with them because the "national" labor rate they use is too low and they don't make any money. The dealership did agree to fix and take a loss. After this claim is done I will probably cancel and get a Nissan warranty for half the price or just save the 140.00 a month I spend on this for any unexpected repairs. Waste of time and money.

    I found the service representative, Larry, pleasant and willing to help resolve the problem. I was, however, disappointed by the fact that it is so difficult to actually speak to a person. If I had been able to speak with an actual person much earlier, I feel that much of the stress of the situation could have been eliminated. Larry was professional and made sure that I understood the policy and its conditions before he said goodbye.

    Stay away. You are not buying from Carchex but from who they sell you to!!! Carchex experience was great and the only reason I bought from them was these stupid reviews... But the fact of the matter is they are a broker and sold my service contract to Royal Admin Services. Wanna have fun, look at that company's feedback.... My first claim denied, my 2nd claim denied and was told preexisting. The BMW shop has been in business over 40yrs, a family owned mom/pop and they tried to explain their findings were a joke. Do not buy from these guys unless they tell you exactly who your warranty provider will be, then Google that company's review... Unhappy, unhappy, unhappy.

    I purchased this warranty for my vehicle, and unfortunately I had the unpleasant experience within the first month to have to put in a claim or maybe a true blessing. My situation started 32 days into warranty, 1000 miles, 1 payment received and 2nd en route. My vehicle began having some serious mechanical complication while driving so I pulled over and notified roadside assistance Carchex provided me with. I proceeded to contact the representative from roadside assist, the initial conversation that took place started out basic. What was the problem with vehicle, what was my location, then the complete chaos started.

    I was asked for my location numerous times. Told I was covered for 75.00 max for tow, I asked for the rep to call me back with a time for the tow truck would arrive and if she was positive it would only 75.00 because I have 2 other services I can use. No reply. For an hour, my phone calls went unanswered and on hold. After speaking with supervisors, the same rep again I asked for the tow company's name to finally find out what was happening. After over 2hrs come to find out the tow co, is dispatching out of Florida when I'm in NJ. 3hrs later at the mechanic shop 5 miles from where the tow took place on Friday the 21st.

    I spoke with the mechanics at the shop, explained what was wrong with the vehicle and that I had a warranty I purchased and can they please follow the policy for a claim. Both mechanics looked at me and said they want something in writing from me before doing any work on the vehicle because they were very leery of dealing with warranty co. I assured them my vehicle was covered showed them the contract and even made a phone call to Carchex from the mechanic shop on speaker with specific questions in regards to what was covered under warranty in the engine i.e. lubricated parts pumps, entire engine block injectors, cylinder heads, piston rings, rods, bearings ext. With that confirming phone call and overview of contract in hand the mechanic said he will make the necessary phone call Monday due to the late arrival of my vehicle.

    Monday came. Claims dept was notified vehicle was in shop for repair. Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon. No call from carchex for rental car. Computer diagnostic tests were done on the vehicle called a injector buzz test, cylinder contribution test which showed improper compression from injectors. First call to the claims dept from the mechanic he was asked if he was willing to negotiate without giving a bill or even a diagnosis of the problem.

    Tuesday 2nd call to claims dept with results of test, denied coverage. Rep stated injectors were not covered under policy. The mechanics reply, "I spoke with the customer. He and I read the contract and also spoke to a rep at carchex who confirmed these precise parts were under warranty or I would have never got involved with this repair." The claims rep replied, "The part in question doesn't fall under engine block or lubrication." It fall under fuel and he doesn't know who told him from carchex it was covered, and that "The customer better read his contract again."

    So for some unknown reason I figured I would call carchex where I purchased my warranty from and explain my situation there. I would have the pleasure of endless phone conversation getting nowhere. The explanation of the denial of my claim WAS NOW because it was part of the electrical system and that's not covered, AND ALSO it happened right after my policy took effect. I HAD THE PLEASANT surprise of speaking to the most talented mechanic of all when a woman in the Carchex office close to 200 miles away gave her own of diagnosis of my diesel engine injectors failing and quote, "I find it highly unlikely you just broke down. Your mechanical problem was pre existing." CLASSIC. 3RD PERSON I talked to in the office for help told me he worked for Ford and that the injectors fall under electrical not covered under warranty.

    After numerous calls and hours on the phone I simply explained when I purchased the warranty the rep told me the entire engine was covered all lubricated parts transfer case trans and then went on to say no electrical. Not something lubricated in the engine block. Not something specifically asked on a number of occasions before purchasing the warranty. Not something specifically asked in front 2 mechanics before wasting their time. The rep went back and check phone calls to see if anything was said in reference to injectors, there were so many phone calls made that was a total ridiculous, excuse. I offered a easy solution. Call the mechanic shop. You will have 2 witnesses. The representative continued to split hairs on issue. The injectors technically are in the engine block, are a lubricated part, part was confirmed to be under warranty by representatives from Carchex.

    Today is 5-1-17. Last conversation on 4-28-17. I was left on the side of the road for 3 hrs. No rental car for week. Nothing settled, truck is still in shop. Delayed work. Never an 3 people denied my claim. No one came to inspect the vehicle everywhere. This company had no intention on paying my claim and did everything they could to simply ignore their obligation to repair my vehicle and even my safety. This has been a dose of reality. This company uses 2 different contractors, claims, roadside assist, and when something goes wrong they want to blame the other contractor. This experience has been a nightmare to say the least. Tried to at least get reimbursed for not providing any service, good luck.

    I really did not want to give them 1 star, mandatory from site from any follow up message from Carchex on this matter to somehow relieve themselves of total ignorance on this incident should only show the level of dishonesty they will resort to. My tow phone calls times receipt mechanics. Test, shop, confirmation of engine diagram - schematics contract, rep approval of parts, no authorization for a rental car, storage fees.

    I realized my Warranty had expired when I started receiving offers from companies that offer extended warranties. I realized that I will be keeping my present car (5 years old, with 63,000 miles) for another 5 years minimum, so I started researching extended car warranties online using Google search. The search revealed two companies that were both 5 star rated. After speaking with both companies I went with Carchex. They were by far the most informative, the most relaxed, and the most helpful. I must have spent at least 30 minutes on the phone with James ** (Carchex), and because of the time, the approach, and what the policy offered, I felt very positive about purchasing a service policy with Carchex for 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Because of James **, Carchex's 5 star rating and the ability to use the policy at any car repair in the U.S., with 24-hour help, plus towing, I just could not pass it up.

I completely understand injectors are not covered by my policy but the motor is; the issue is under exclusions in my policy there is nothing about if an uncovered part causes damage the covered part will be excluded. There are plenty of exclusions in there, lack of coolant (busted heater or radiator hose, etc), failure to maintain the vehicle etc but that is simply not in the wording of my contract. I feel like the engine should be covered but anything else outside of that should be my responsibility such as replacing the injector(s), plug, coil, or cat converter if it burned up etc. They need to recognize the wording in my contract and replace the engine or show me the exact wording under exclusions that does not allow for this.

    The newer contracts on their website are pretty clear, engine failure will only be covered if due to failure of internally lubricated part. My contract is almost 5 years old and does not contain that wording. I have been without a vehicle for two weeks because of this company. People would be better off putting $2500 in their own vehicle maintenance account than buying a contract through them because the odds of something major happening that falls within their guidelines is like winning the lottery. Even worse, something like mine that does fall within the contract wording but they still won't pay. Even the Ford dealership service department said this was the worst aftermarket company they had ever tried to work with.

    Carchex is a terrible company and will rob you blind. They charged me $4,000 for a warranty on my BMW and when my turbos went out, they would only pay for me to replace them with junk yard parts, and would only pay domestic labor rates. I drive a BMW and they want to only pay what labor on a Honda or Ford is. When I Called they were not helpful at all, and actually rude. Don't waste your time or money. This place is a scam.

I've paid 1,055.68 and requested to cancel this service with a refund and was told my refund would be 210.06 after deductions and it would take 45 days to process. This is one of the biggest scams I've been involved in. They would not cover any of the repairs and would not give an explanation. The sentinel plan is a rip off along with Carchex.

    I guess if you are looking for catastrophic insurance, this may be a good bet. However, in my case, I take my car to a very reputable dealer (in business since 1968) whom I trust. When I take it in for minor repairs that appear to me to be clearly covered by the warranty, CARCHEX continually refuses to pay standard dealer labor rates and insists that if they can find the part cheaper, that's what they'll pay for the part. That can be an off-beat part manufactured in who-knows-where, a reconditioned part or a part that they found on EBAY. Their determination of what is "normal maintenance" (which they won't pay for) and whether they will pay for a repair covered by the warranty is always up to them and, believe me, they come down on their side every time with a decision. These people know how to play the insurance game better than you or I so, be sure you know what you are buying!

    DO NOT PURCHASE THIS WARRANTY. Just found out they do not cover a Valve Seal Leak because of this exclusion found in the last sentence of exclusion #5 on all their contracts, "...ANY REPAIR WHEN THE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO RAISE THE VEHICLES ENGINE COMPRESSION OR TO STOP EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION". Mind you I have their most comprehensive coverage. However this exclusion can be applied to any cause resulting in burning oil. In addition, the parts cost they cover is below the price I would pay at a part store. You will be sorry if you purchase a warrant from CARCHEX!

    Purchasing a plan from CARCHEX was easy, and they're very helpful. Their rep showed me that I have 30 days to get my money back, if I decided not to go on with it anymore. Everything went very well. I like the fact that they work with the actual dealerships of the vehicles. It can be through another accredited shop, but they work along with the dealerships. So that means it's going to be actual Ford, or whatever manufacturer's part.

    The Carchex reps were very informative and pleasant on the phone and I got my package in a timely manner. But then I realized I had a problem as I had already paid for a different extended package when I bought my vehicle so I didn't need the Carchex warranty anymore. I then called CARCHEX back and explained what I had done and they were very cordial and sent me the paperwork right away and got the cancellation taken care of immediately. So that was wonderful.

    The one thing that always gets me is when a salesman is cocky but not cocky. They’re very thorough, competent and know they could answer any question I got and the guy from Carchex rep did. I was also very impressed with the price. Those other places want at least $250 upfront and $300 a month but not Carchex. The product pretty much sold itself and I just bought an extended warranty a few days ago. It’s for a V6 that we’ve done some work on. Considering that the car is going to my 16-year old daughter in seven months, having the vehicle protection plan is very valuable since we don't know what's going to happen.

    The extended warranty on my car had expired in July. It's essential to have a vehicle protection plan in case of something happening and it was easy to buy the Carchex protection plan. The only problem I had when purchasing it, and I can't say it came from Carchex, is that after I gave my financial institution information, my bank account was compromised. But other than that I’m happy with my experience. Their reps were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

    I bought a 2011 car and its mileage is very low. I realized that because it’s a little bit older and I don’t have tons of money tucked away in a savings account for repairs, I thought its best to go ahead and get a warranty. I originally went with Warranty Direct because the price was about $50 to $60 cheaper and the coverage potentially was the same.

    Then CARCHEX called me on Monday, the 31st, and I spoke with Will who was phenomenal and he said that he can price match what I'm paying and I've to send him my contract because he has to go to his GM and get approval for it. I did and he called me back and said that there was something in the exclusions in the Warranty Direct contract that he was sure I did not understand. So we went over it on the computer and he told me that none of the technical specialty bulletins which were 26th on my car were covered. I understood then that the special bulletins meant that anything that was covered in them would not be covered in the warranty. I switched to CARCHEX and it was a relatively easy process.

    I purchased that warranty from Carchex. After 2 months the check engine light went on then I went to the certified Acura dealer. They diagnosed the car and found internal transmission problem that needs to be replaced the transmission. The dealer called the Carchex and they said it is covered but they have to send their own inspector. He came and checked the car and turned the check engine light off and disputed the claim saying the dealership denied to let him use their tools. When I talked to the dealership they said this never happened. When I called the Carchex they said the dealer trying to make money and they will not pay for the part that supposed to be covered by the contract. So do not waste your time and money.
