    I purchased their Titanium plan which covered primarily bumper to bumper with $100 deductible. Was told can use any ASE or dealership for repairs. If you buy this plan, expect to pay out of pocket for much more than the deductible amount. They will lowball labor and parts prices. This plan through Carchex is administered by Royal Administration Services. I submitted two claims at different times. The first was for non working AC and a malfunction control arm. Total bill for both these repairs were $990.55 in which they paid only $517.59. Per the mechanic, they would only pay for a used aftermarket control arm part. I was told by the mechanic they could not warranty a used part, so I ended up paying out of pocket $472.96, well over the expected $100 deductible.

    Two years later, I needed a fuel pump. Plan paid only $319.58 out of a total bill of $1117.27, leaving me to pay the balance of $797.69. Again, well over the $100 deductible amount. Their methods to determine parts and labor cost do not reflect realistic prices and therefore the plan will end up paying significantly less than one would expect. I have had other extended warranties of which I never paid more than the deductible amount, and wish I would have stayed with those. This plan looks good on paper, but in reality will not pay out as expected. Please look for another vehicle warranty. Based on my two experiences, I would recommend staying away from Carchex/Royal Administrative Services. I would recommend not buying this plan.

    Enroll with Carchex and paid 5 months, my brake & ABS light came on my dash, Had my car look at by a license mechanic on his computer and the repair cost $4,000. Had my mechanic call the claims and he was told need to show cause? I paid my mechanic $130 to check my car. Also I talk to the claim and ask them email me what is needed? They say can't email me and I told them I'm not a mechanic and what else is needed? After 20 minute over the phone I decided to cancel my plan. My car 2008 LS 460 Lexus only $20,000 miles like new.

    CARCHEX IS 100% PURE ***GARBAGE*** Please DO NOT GET THIS WARRANTY COMPANY!! I was a year into the policy and my A/C compressor went out. I filed a claim and once it got to the adjuster who supposed to pay for the claim they denied it! The adjusters will use every excuse to not pay the claim. I went to 3 different mechanics over a 30 day period including the dealership and everyone said the same thing that the A/C compressor was NOT WORKING AND THEY STILL KEPT DENYING THE CLAIM AND THE A/C compressor IS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED ON MY POLICY.

    I paid close to $1000 out of pocket for diagnostics per a loyalty department customer service representative advice. I cancelled with them and I'm waiting on my refund. IF I DON'T GET THE PERCENTAGE OF MY REFUND WHICH IS 90% for Florida that's owed to me then I'm getting a lawyer and suing CARCHEX and posting more bad reviews everywhere I can!!! Please don't waste your time with CARCHEX. Save your own money in case of a breakdown. CARCHEX is a total rip-off!!!!

    I had purchased the platinum package for my Audi. After about 4 months after having my plan, my check engine came on and took it to one of the only places in this city that fixes European cars. It ended up being the factory turbo had went bad and needed replaced. This is a standard part for my car to have a turbo for the engine to run properly. I have been trying to contact Carchex several times to get reimbursed for this cost, but cannot get any help or response!

    I paid over $5000 out of pocket for a part that was covered by my contract with Carchex! They are so eager to help you get a new customer and even asked specifically if certain parts would be covered, ie, transmission, turbo, engine, etc... was told, "Yes, that is all covered!" Now that I'm trying to get paid for it, cannot get anyone to help. Unbelievable how awful this company is at taking care of its customers!

I'm not happy, I cannot access my coverage online and after reviewing recording of conversation with the salesman, I feel like I've been robbed. All of the things I felt were important to cover, ARE NOT!! I've paid 100s so far FOR NOTHING!! And WHAT A HASSLE! NO booklet with my plan, no "welcome package", just payment after payment.

    The experience I had was very misleading. If my part stops working but get a piece of rust on it I’m not covered. So meaning even if rust is not the cause of the part breakdown just because the part has a rust stain they will not fix the part. All parts rust and still work fine. It has to be a manufacturer problem in order to get the part fixed but can’t have any rust on it whatsoever. I was also told that Jordan a customer service representative didn’t have a supervisor. She also stated that Carchex makes the auto payments which is false. Be careful what you sign up for.

    The website made it seem like CARCHEX was a scam at first. I called the number that it gave me and I got transferred to somebody in sales. Then they transferred me to the sales rep and he was asking if I was calling for this other company. When I told him that I was calling for CARCHEX, he told me to hold on. He put me on hold and he never came back. So, I hung up. Then I called back and that was when it was all legit.

    The rep made it seem like everything would be fine and he had my back, which I appreciated. I hope that comes true when it's time for me to use the warranty. Also, he didn't try to upsell me and I had follow-up emails as well. But there wasn't a lot of perks. My representative made it seem like the coverage included mainly the transmission, engine and some extensions. But I kept asking what did he mean by the extension. He told me that the policy covers the air and the windows, but I'm not sure if it covers the battery. Other than that, I told my friend that I like CARCHEX. Most aftermarket warranty companies would request you to drive 1,000 miles and to wait 30 days. But CARCHEX would only require you to wait 25 days and only drive 500 miles. Then, it was for a price that was 15% less fees than the other companies. That's dope.

    The sales rep was very nice and answered all my questions. She was very detailed on how the process worked, what was covered and what was not. No one tried to sell me something that I wasn't looking for. She went through all the different products that they have. She told me what Carchex had for the specific amount and the best thing that was suitable for me according to what I was looking for. Then, she helped me compare one with the other. So, it was great.

    I own a Mercedes Benz and it has over 100,000 miles and I was looking for the big-ticket items such as the transmission, electrical, engine and cooking that are the big-tier prices on this kind of vehicle. The amount was reasonable for the stuff I was looking for and I like that the deductible is only $200. Most of the companies charge you a deductible of $1,000 and then, they cover the rest of it. So this one is only $200 which is good. I was paying about the same when I had the extended warranty that the dealership offers. I wish that everything was covered, like every little button on this car, because every part of this car is expensive. But some things are wear and tear, and so it doesn't work that way.

    I've had CARCHEX for three years and it's like 3,000 each time I renew it. It was basically 1,000 a year. During that three-year period, I had my car in the shop for something minor. This time was the second time that I've ever had the car in the shop while under CARCHEX and they gave the dealership a hard time. The dealership compromised labor and other things that the car needed. I asked the dealership if CARCHEX is paying less than normal compared to other extended warranty companies and the dealership said that CARCHEX is paying less. That really irritates me because I just signed up with them for another year. Had I known this problem was gonna exist, I would have picked another company. I'm very disappointed that I signed up with them for another three years.

    They were easy to get on the phone when I needed to extend my policy. They were cordial and efficient. When I had a claim and my car was in the shop, they sent an adjuster out right away. They didn't hold up the repair process, which is a good thing. The problem lies in their not wanting to pay. I know the dealerships charge more for labor per hour than another guy on the side with a smaller shop and Mercedes did decrease their hourly rate as much as they possibly could. But when I have my adjuster who's been my guy since I bought the car tell me that they're paying less per hour than other warranty companies, then I'm very dissatisfied.

    The interaction with the rep was great when I signed up with Carchex. I have the highest plan with them but I hope I never have to use it. I got a Cadillac and the transmission fluid may be changed at 50,000 miles. I’m concerned that it says in the contract that you have to change the transmission fluid every 24,000 miles and if I don’t, that’s a reason for a denial in repairing it. So, that's a conflict of interest with what the factory warranty may be.

    People should make sure they know what they're getting in their plan to know what's covered for their vehicle. When I spoke to the Carchex rep, he said my deductible would be $100, but once I got my documentation in my email, it said my deductible was 200. I had to call back for Carchex to change it. It was weird that I got something totally different than what we spoke about, but other than that, my experience was good.

    My policy covers things that could possibly go out, including the engine, the transmission, and the starter. Carchex will also pay for my rental car while the car is getting fixed. I have a 2017 Chevy Malibu, and it's already at 100,000 miles. I know that once they hit 100, that's when things start acting funny. I still might have to do a claim once my time is up to make sure, because I'm a traveler, and I don't want anything to happen to my car.

    There was an ad on Facebook for CARCHEX and I clicked on it. They didn't call me and aggravate me with a bunch of promotional calls. There's this one company that is a very prominent name and they aggravate people so badly with calls that I decided a long time ago I wouldn't buy their product if it was the only one on earth. I called the CARCHEX phone number and was connected to someone who was very helpful.

    In receiving my written contract, I sometimes scratched my head as I sat here last night and read through that. I'm beginning to wonder what is covered under that contract and what will I actually get in the event that my car does have serious issues. One other thing that I had to read two or three times was the fact that it's so many months or so many miles before the contract ever kicks in. The other part that I question and wonder about is having to have everything approved ahead of time before I can have any work done on my car. But I would have to take the car to a garage first before I know what's wrong with it and then I gotta make phone calls and get somebody on the other end to understand what they're talking about. I'm not sure how helpful this policy is gonna be but I'm gonna try it for a while and see how it goes with it.

    I hope I'm not just throwing money away for no service when the time comes. My car is the very first one I ever had and I was in my 70s when I bought it. I'm now in my second year of being 80 and there are no issues with my car. I don't expect or anticipate any. But in the event that something does happen, it's a good idea to carry that CARCHEX contract. So far, I've only been in contact with one person. The lady I talked to was very nice. I got a phone call the other day wondering if I actually had agreed to have that payment put on my credit card. I agreed to a one-time payment.

    When I talked to Carchex, the rep seemed to know what he was talking about. He was polite. But it was a little high-pressure sales. It was like a timeshare-type thing. I was really thinking of almost not doing it because of that. They told me, "Would you sign up today if I could get my boss to agree to this? Well, let me go talk to him." Right there, I almost hung up. But it was something I was interested in, so I didn't. Carchex shouldn't do that. If they know a price they can offer you, they should just say, "Hey, it's this price," and then sell it on the product itself, not that timeshare sales tactic. So I'm still on the fence on whether I cancel this out because of that.

    I was disappointed that Carchex didn't offer me the premier package. They said it was because my car had over 100,000, and they couldn't offer me the package where it protects the electrical, like the navigation and the electrical component type stuff. That's another reason why I'm still considering my 30-day period of dropping Carchex.

    I decided to check into CARCHEX and my experience was good with a fellow I spoke with. He clearly explained everything to me. I went back over it. And what I didn't understand, he re-explained. He was very patient. So, I decided to go ahead and sign up with him. He explained to me all of it that were perks. We came to a dollar amount arrangement and that helped to seal the deal. Perks are very important. People wanna see what they get for their money and that made it even more enticing for me to go ahead and select CARCHEX.

    He had to go over both packages. I was interested in knowing what was covered. I am not well-versed in all the mechanics of a car, but I listened carefully about what I wanted and I wanted the best protection for my car. That's how we arrived at my package. It was much easier than I thought it would be. And he made it simple and said, "And if you have any questions at all, you can contact us about anything." So, I felt rest assured that I was in good hands, that my car was protected and I had the peace of mind I needed and I just had to pay my monthly fee.

    The setup was easy, the information was comprehensive, that I had a clear understanding of what I was paying for and what I was getting for my money. And that if they wanted to have somebody, until they prove you wrong by their actions in not fulfilling the agreement, you can trust them. Until they prove me wrong, I'm okay with making my monthly payments.

    I went online and checked Carchex, and I talked to the guy. I was impressed with the coverage and everything they had to offer. The deductible was $200 and I said I couldn’t do that because Endurance was giving me a $100 deductible. And the guy from Carchex said they could do the same thing. I told him to do it and not to screw me with another $100 from the beginning knowing well that Endurance was gonna give me that. So with my being a disabled veteran, I got a discount from them. The guy said he would send me a package and I asked if that was a problem. He said no. Carchex shouldn’t give me a hard time with getting my package in because Endurance did that to my buddy. It took him almost three weeks to get the package.

    Other agents from Carchex kept on calling me and I told them they needed to get themselves together. The agents are not communicating or they're not checking the computer that I already bought a policy. The first guy was trying to get me to do multiple cars and I said I still have a warranty on my truck. I'm not gonna do anything on my truck until my warranty has expired. So I'm just waiting. This guy was trying to pressure selling me that way and I told him not to do that. I'm not gonna deal with him until December when my truck is paid off. So then, I had this other money that I could work with. Today, this other guy calls me from CARCHEX, trying to talk me into getting that extended warranty on my truck.

    I have a brother who is a mechanic and he said there are certain things that you would want for your cars and done for them. Some shops don't even want to do them anymore. If it's a major job, they don't wanna do it. An extended warranty is a good thing as it helps save people money. When the pandemic came, a lot of people's cars got messed up.

Signing up with CARCHEX was convenient and it was very informational. They did great. At first, I was calling as I was curious but they sold me on it after a few phone calls.

    I would refer CARCHEX and tell friends and family that I have coverage and they're pretty friendly people. But I will have to inform them I've never used it yet. There's a 25-day either/or 500-mile requirement. My fear is that six months down the road and something does go wrong, they won't handle it and I would be paying 150 a month for that. Other than that, everything in the paperwork sounds good. I got the works, roadside assistance, drivetrain, and pretty much everything. If I need something, I just call for the most part.

    Having a vehicle protection plan is very valuable. I had one for five years and it was good. The one I had was $99 a month and I paid that for three years and I got two free. I had something go wrong in those two years like the refrigerant part on the air conditioner. I took it to the Chrysler place and it was $1,700. My insurance paid 14 and I paid 300. That was not bad. That expired and I looked online. Somebody called me and it had an Owensboro number. He said, "It seems you were online looking for car insurance. Let’s speak to somebody.” A guy came on and said, “This is CARCHEX.” He negotiated and gave me a good deal. CARCHEX is okay and I got it the other day. The sign-up was easy.

    The signing-up process was nice. Carchex gave me a call to confirm some of the details of my vehicle, to confirm the price and that I was eligible. They went over the disclosures, made sure I didn't have any questions, and then set up the first payment. There are two situations that I would apply for the coverage to take effect. It's after 24 days and 500 miles, and the other one is 60 days and 250 miles 'cause I told them I didn't drive a lot.

    I don't know Carchex's entire pay structure and how their costs operate, but I work in the insurance industry for farmers. If people generally try to call in to get something that's currently wrong covered, then their business model is to accept payment then deny coverage for some reason. I'm concerned that Carchex won't cover me if something does happen, but as of right now, I haven't ran into anything. I'd tell people to check them out.

    I go to a GMC dealership and I bought several vehicles from them, and we have a rapport together. So, that's where I take my car to get it repaired, and their opinion matters to me. I asked them, "Overall, what do you think about the warranty company?" The dealer said, "Just keep it. Overall, you know, they were pretty good." That means something to me. He could have told me, "It's a piece of crap and don't get them and we'll do something else," but he didn't say that. He complained about the customer service.

    I was reached out to by Carchex saleswomen shortly after looking for extended car warranties for my 2018 Audi S4 saying they have very low prices and I better not miss the amazing rates and I have exactly 24 hours before the deal is done. I responded by letting her know my car has a few modifications but I was interested and after sending her what I had done to the car she reached back to me letting me know my car was eligible and that she would reach out to her managers with the modifications to make sure and if it wasn't eligible I would be quick to know and get refunded (I also sent pictures of the car along with the engine bay to make sure they have a clear image of what they are dealing with). Cool, went ahead and got the best plan they had, titanium bumper to bumper. Almost 5 thousand dollars.

    Months go by I drive approximately 5 thousand miles and go in for service at 50 thousand miles. The dealer said I need engine mounts replaced as they're leaking with a bunch of other stuff which is covered under the plan. I get a call back saying your claim has been declined on the basis of your car being modified. They rejected my engine mounts along with everything else on the basis that I have aftermarket lowering springs. I actually didn't know my car had anything done to the suspension as I bought it with most modifications already done. They reach out letting me know my only option would be to cancel myself and get refunded. And here I am still waiting for a reply to the email about canceling my plan and getting said refund coming upon two weeks after the initial incident.

    I purchased a used 2016 Jaguar F-Type R, called up Carchex and put the Titanium package on the vehicle. The vehicle had cooling fan failure and overheated the motor. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Jaguar dealership. Jaguar contacted Carchex and provided details on what needed fixed. Carchex told Jaguar that they will not cover OEM parts but would cover aftermarket parts and are saying that I have to pay the difference plus all sales tax. So instead of paying my $100 deductible Carchex is leaving me responsible for a bill over $2000. I do not recommend this company to anybody. What is the purpose of having the best warranty they offer just for them to not cover OEM parts for your vehicle. I am currently having my warranty packet looked over by my company's legal team.

    When I talked to the guy with CARCHEX, I texted a request for information because I tried to find out how much it would cost to put a bumper-to-bumper warranty on a used vehicle that I looked at. And I know the dealership would offer me stuff. So I wanted to know what I could get it for independently so I could compare it with what the dealership offered. I kept saying, "I'm not ready to put it on yet. I'm not ready to put it on yet." And he kept saying, "It'll be $139 a month. Rather than hang up and give up, how about I could do a senior discount and make it 109?" He just kept going down and adding things on.

    He got down to $89 a month. It would be 96.13 with tax. I thought that seemed a reasonable amount. He said, "If you pay it today, I can get it for less than that." I said, "How about after I look at this truck, I call you to tell you if I wanna put it on." He said, "Then you'll be back to the 139." I asked, "I wouldn't get any of those discounts?" "No. You only get those discounts if you sign up today."

    I understand I didn't do it this way, but I thought about doing it this way, he said, "When do you think you'll make a decision on the truck?" I said, “Probably sometime in the next 10 days." And he said, "Okay. You could do a future draft and so you'd have until the 18th of the month to decide if you're gonna do the coverage or not."

    I should have just done that, but I didn't. Because he said, "It'll be $10 less if you do it today and we run it through." So, it was mostly price incentives that made me do it. I was fairly confident that I would buy this truck. When I got down there, there was bad damage that I didn't know about. And it looked like it had been used for auction to the commercial vehicle. So, I decided it wasn't the best buy for the money. This week, I gotta call him and tell him I want a refund and not to continue charging.

    The CARCHEX rep and I were on the telephone for an hour, which was a very long time. I had a lot of questions. And there was a big push to get me to hurry up and agree to it and close the deal. They were going for the fast close. I asked questions about, "Was this commission based?" I know what the gig is, so I wouldn't feel pressured to rush myself through the process. I was very thoughtful as we worked our way through it.

    The funny part was, because I had researched it online, I knew what the price parameters were. They started out much higher than anything that they advertised. When I began to pause and have reservations, they started lowering the price. So by the time it was over, it had come down percentage-wise a bit. So, it was just a big game. I've thought about people that don't do any research and don't understand how the sales machine works, probably not a good thing, because they're probably paying more for it than they should.

    I liked the flexibility and where I could take my car for service, that there's no end date to it, your payments are fixed for however long you wanna maintain the plan. And I can cancel it anytime I want to. The only thing it doesn't cover is standard maintenance. I bought a used car, so I was looking for something that was all-inclusive. So if I keep it for 5 years, I keep it for 5 years. If I keep it for 10, I keep it for 10. But for right now, it fits my needs.

With my previous warranty, I only paid 100. So this time, I paid more than what I paid for the whole year. I still had to come out of my pocket with $1,000 to get the repair done. So I wasn't satisfied with that.

    CARCHEX told me that I had the Silver plan. I tried to get another plan to upgrade. So I called them and they told me that they had a better plan than the one I had. So I upgraded. When I did call them, I tried to cancel the previous plan I had for the Jeep. The cancellation on that was refunded. On the same day I did that, I paid a down payment for the Impala. They took the money out the 28th of last month. But I didn't know they were gonna take it out that soon. I thought they were gonna take it out the next month. I received the warranty package this week on that. But the mileage on their paperwork was incorrect.

    I spoke to a representative from CARCHEX and they told me that the cancellation was put in for the Jeep. I got an email saying it was canceled, but they still took the money out of my account. I never got that issue resolved. The guy said I no longer have the services for the Jeep. But he did see the Impala. On the warranty paperwork they sent me, I had sent her email stating that the mileage on the Impala was 174,000. On the paper, it’s 184,000. So, it's 10,000 miles different.

An extended warranty is something that everybody should get because of the simple fact that you never know when a situation may happen with your vehicle.

    The service that Carchex provides for the miles that are on the vehicle was different than everybody else's. They provided more coverage than the other three big companies. The guy and the lady I talked to were very informative. They walked me through everything. However, I wish there was a clearer clarification on mileage limits prior to signing up. You don't know exactly what warranty you're gonna get until you tell them how many miles are on the vehicle. That's something that could have saved time if it was on the website. I also wish Carchex was cheaper, but it's valuable.

    AVOID In June 2023, I purchased a Powertrain Plus warranty through CarChex with the provider being American Auto Shield (AAS) under the impression they would be better than the last provider I had a run in with. Very first time I had to use it, all was going good, shop called me about what needed to be done, they called AAS and I got a message from the adjustor, they would only cover 50% of the radiator repair, better than nothing I guess. I called back and approved it within 15 minutes and was told they would call them back and let them know to do the work. I stopped by the shop and they said they never got a call, and it had been over 3 hours since I approved it.

    I called AAS back to see what the hold up was and I got a snippy little woman telling me that the adjustor will call them back within 24 hours. I was like ok, if that is the case, I am already out of work for today and now tomorrow, I need a rental to get around, ohhh, you need to have 4 hours of labor approved for a rental and you have 3.8 hours so you will not get one, so I am out $1500 for no work, $1500 of what I have paid to the warranty company and $500 of what they will not cover. So my total repair was $1096, it is cheaper for you to pay it out of pocket then have to deal with the POS company just screwing you out of your hard earned money.

    Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback about your claim experience. We have provided feedback to your contract administrator to address these concerns.

    According to the claims notes, your claim was approved in accordance with your coverage using parts of like, kind and quality. Additionally, the labor time for your repairs was verified through a National Labor Guide for your specific vehicle. Unfortunately, the repair shop was not willing to use an aftermarket part or allow the administrator to ship in the approved part(s). This resulted in out of pocket expense. Additionally, the claim was approved with exact diagnostic time and the time to remove and replace the parts but the repair shop rounded up on the repairs.

    We understand out of pocket expenses can be frustrating. But it appears the contract administrator did approve the claim properly in accordance with your contract.

    If you have any additional questions or concerns, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6001.

    I'm not one to bash anyone but when the public needs to be made aware of deceptive trade practices this is where I voice my opinion to make everyone aware. PLEASE READ YOUR CONTRACT. This company will send you an email for you to review and it has everything listed that they will cover during your warranty period so I truly thought we had finally found an honest and outstanding warranty company. I waited got my contract and placed it in the lockbox only to find out now that I need the warranty the list sent VIA email is not the same listed in the contract itself. They will not cover the issue we are experiencing please. I am now having to file a complaint with BBB and take to small claim court. And will also notate this on my other Yelp and Google reviews. This is wrong to pay for a warranty only to learn they were not truthful in their coverage. Why can't people simply be honest. This is insane. Pay over 6.000 for a warranty and it isn't true.

    Thank you for your review. We will address your concerns on your recent claims experieince for the coverage on your 2013 Mercedes Benz E350.

    Please note, as the retailer of your coverage, CARCHEX does not approve or deny claims. The contract administrator is responsible for all claims. As such, we have reached out to your contract administrator for the claims details to respond to this review.

    According to their records, there have been 4 claims called in for your vehicle. Claims were approved in September 2019, March of 2020, and May of 2020. Most recently, in February of 2023, a repair request was called in for your high-pressure fuel pump. Unfortunately, this is not a listed component on your coverage and the claim was denied.

    In your review, you have advised customers to read their contract. We appreciate that recommendation. ALL of our Vehicle Protection Specialists are trained and required to read a closing summary of the purchase where we tell all of our customers to read their contract. We provide a 30 day money back guarantee to protect our customers so they have an opportunity to read the contract and call us with any questions or concerns. We have verified this closing summary was read word for word to you at the time of purchase.

    Additionally, our records show you accessed CARCHEX Direct 16 times between 3/30/2019 and 2/25/2023. On our CARCHEX Direct site, we provide a declaration page and copy of your coverage for your records and review.

    We take great pride in being a full disclosure company. And while we understand the frustration of having a non-listed component fail on your vehicle, the claim was denied correctly within the terms of your contract.

I made sure of that in the beginning. I didn't want to be obligated. I've been happy with CARCHEX. We had one or two claims and they paid the repair shop right away and I didn't have any issues.

The first place they sent me to said they didn't do that anymore and that CARCHEX was too hard to deal with and to do paperwork with. He said that he had to take everything apart, take pictures of the stuff on the ground and then wait for CARCHEX to approve it. Most of the time, they can't afford to have a truck up on a lift for two days waiting for the warranty company to approve the repair.

    I called again and CARCHEX sent me to a second place. I dropped the vehicle there and the next day, the dealership called and said they don't have anybody who can work on my vehicle. I went to a different Ford dealer and the guy there said he would do it. I was without my vehicle for 40 days.

I canceled it in January, and they drew the payment out two days ago. I've been trying to get ahold of them, but you gotta wait on the phone for 15 minutes. When I took my car in to have it fixed, the garage said that the fuel pump was bad. The Carchex claim agent went over there and said the compression test was not right. My mechanic said, “I don't know what your guys are looking at, but I'm telling you, I'm looking at the diagnostics of this thing, and it is bad.” But they refused to pay for it.

    Then the motor mounts went out, which are not covered because it's not greased, but that's fine. But when they ordered all the extra compression tests and then didn't pay for them, that was not right. My mechanic said that there was no reason to have these extra tests. But Carchex said, “Well, if you don't do them, then we're gonna refuse the claim.” So he performed the tests, but they refused the claim.

    My most recent issue was with my radiator. There was a belt that was bad and there are a couple of different things that they had to look into. I was without my vehicle for a week and I didn't have to pay for anything.

    CARCHEX offered me the best price and they offered me the best way to pay for it. Most of the companies wanted half down and then pay the other half over the next two months. Carchex said they could do it for over four months and takes just a quarter of it a month instead of having to have half of it down. At first I thought the rep was really pushy. I told him one day I have to talk to my wife about it and that if he calls me one more time, he will not sell me anything from CARCHEX. He changed his whole attitude. I called him back a week later or so and told him that we decided we're gonna go with CARCHEX. He asked if he could call me back the next day.

    I had a problem when my bank account and my phone were hacked. The CARCHEX payment got there sooner than my new card did. Mike called about the issue with the payment and told me to just give him the new card number as soon as I can. Two days later, my card came. I called him and he took the new number and I haven't had any trouble since.

    I have a claim and it's not going so well. The car broke down on a Friday and Carchex couldn't find a tow truck for me that I didn't have to pay out-of-pocket over $100. I told them that I would try to figure out a tow truck or a way to get it there myself. I called back on Monday and said I'll just pay the 125. The lady that I talked to got me one for 85 so I only had to come out of pocket $10 for the tow truck. I had it towed to the dealership on Monday at 10 o'clock in the morning. The dealership said the issue was a timing belt and they told Carchex. The car dealership told me that Carchex said they have to send out an inspector. I called the warranty people to see where they were at with that and they said that they are waiting on a diagnosis. It's a bunch of confusion and I'm still without a car. It's my first time doing this and I don't know if this is typical.

    The rep I talked to was super nice. He wasn't pushy and wasn't trying to sell me something. There are a couple of things about the plan that I got I'm not super happy with, but it's a good plan. If something goes wrong, they would take care of it. It's just the fact that it doesn't cover seals. I have a seal going bad and if I don't fix it, the engine is gonna go. My engine is covered, but I'm still responsible for changing the seals, which is the gasket. It's a $600 or $700 repair. But I get it. It's basic maintenance and I can't hold them responsible for basic maintenance.

    I had a policy with them that I canceled not too long into the policy, not even a month went by. It was $95 for the first month's payment and they said I would get a refund. My first payment was made on a Visa card that was a gift card and a refund would not be allowed towards a gift card. They said they would send a check in a couple of weeks but I never got the check. When I called back, I got transferred nine times and hung up on three times. Finally, they connected me to Zurich, who is the administrator of the plan, and they said they have nothing on file stating that the contract was ever canceled.

    The contract was never canceled. I have the lady's name who was handling it and she apologized upside, left and right, and all this jazz. I spent over two hours on the phone to get a ridiculous check and it's still not resolved because they have to call someone else to get it. It's ridiculous. Some people along the line tried to help me. They weren't successful at it but at least they tried and it goes to show you that the system stinks. At one time, I was volleyballed over to a recording and the recording was saying, "On a basis of one to five, how would you rate the following...?" I didn't even speak to anyone yet. How can I rate someone?

    Also, the first day I called, they put me on hold and they said they were experiencing a lot of calls because of the weather. If you know it's going to be bad weather, all you got to do is turn on the television, see if it's bad weather, then you call in extra people to put on the phone so people don't have to hang on the phone for two hours. But they're squeezing every dollar they can out of whatever they're getting and they're not taking care of their customers. I shouldn't even have to go into this for a lousy $95. I don't want to spend any more time or energy on this thing. If get a refund, fine. If I don't get a refund, then clock it up to like a lottery ticket that didn't win. I'm just tired of the whole situation.

    I canceled because I had been paying my bill faithfully for three years and then when my car needed to go into the shop, my car sat at the shop for almost a whole month. I had to Uber and Lyft back and forth to church and to places. Every week, they kept telling me that the inspector had not been to the shop. I was waiting for them to approve the claim and they never got back to me. I felt like it was unfair. I made a complaint to them about it and nothing. Also, it was hard to get customer service on the phone. I sat on the phone with them forever. But when it came for them to take the money out, they were Johnny-on-the-spot.

    The first the rep offered me was 30 months and 120 a month. I said I'd like 100 better and we had agreed on $100 a month and they were going to modify the schedule but I ended up with 120 something. That was my only issue.

    It ended up being more expensive than I thought and the guy that talked to me wasn't really on the up and up. Then, when I tried to call and ask questions, I couldn't get anybody. I figured that if I'm having a problem trying to get to them to ask a question, then I would have a problem if I needed to file a claim. Also, my Toyota dealership does not accept Carchex. They have it posted on their doors. I cancelled within the window that they gave me that I could cancel.

    Signing up with CARCHEX was simple and sweet. But I have a complication with having my card on file and I don't know why my money has not been taken out of there yet. Other than that, I'm good and I got the contract in the mail. My vehicle is a 2010 and I got the PowerTrain Plus Gold with Roadside Assistance. I drive a lot, so having the policy is very valuable.

    When I called CARCHEX, I signed up through the representative. Later, I was a member. The rep said something about bumper to bumper. I'll be covered after 45 days, I got 20,000 miles per year, and told me about the deductible. I couldn't afford the initial payment that he told me, so he broke it down into payments of 30. And I pay 118 a month. Go throughout the package and see which one best fit you.

    Signing up was an easy process. The reps told me everything about it and what the different offers offer. Also, there really weren't any requirements. They just asked me how many miles I have on the car. Then I have to wait 1,000 miles or 30 days for the extended warranty to kick in. I do wish that I can talk to them to let them know that if they're going to offer an extended warranty, offer something that is affordable and also makes a difference to what can really help the person, because a lot of people are not rich.

    When I signed up with Carchex, it was good. Not a whole lot of pressure like some of the other companies that I'd called. I was busy at the time and they told me, "Just whenever you're ready, let us know." Had a few follow-ups in between there and that was positive. They also offered good coverage.
