The lady at Carchex was very nice. I got the bumper-to-bumper. I set up the payment with my debit. It then takes the money every month out of my account.

I was contacted by Brandon on Halloween October 31st. He pressured and pressured and would not get off the phone until I gave him a $50. He said, "You can cancel if you're not happy." Well then very next day I could not get through to any customer service all day long. He refused to send me the information that I wanted I kept blowing me off. I told him I want to cancel. This is starting off terribly. I was told that I would be refunded my $50 by the third or fourth. It's like a week later. I can't even get a hold of anybody. Nobody will respond. The only line that'll answer is sales and then they'll transfer me to customer service which never answers. They were trying to charge me $7,000 for a very limited warranty that didn't cover what he said.

I bought the warranty a few months back, I’ve called, emailed, left messages and can’t get through or the office is closed. You can call sales and get through after two rings at any time! I’m thinking I’ve been scammed.

I don't have all my paperwork. They said I would be receiving it in the mail. But I have not even received that yet. But they were very responsive. I was also happy about the seals and gaskets because this was an older vehicle and I knew that the choices were going to be limited. So that was a big deal for me.

I purchased my contract in april of 2022 with Carchex and my car went in the shop and the shop had to call American Auto Shield to get the problem paid for and they keep telling the mechanic whenever my car goes in the shop that I don't have a active contract so, I called the place I make my payment to and I asked them who do I have a contract with and they said, "You make your payment to us and your contract is with CARCHEX but your service goes under Amer auto shield" and both company said I don't have a active contract. So I said, "Why am I paying Paylink" and paylink told me what my contract number is with carchex.
To help me out paylink called carchex to get someone on the phone to see what's going on and they couldn't get anyone to answer the phone.. As of today 11.8.22 I need all my money back since April.... I'm not paying for a contract I don't have and if I didn't have a contract why didn't carchex inform paylink that I didn't have a contract and allowed them to bill me each month....

I purchased Carchex, but then after reading the contract, I canceled it and got a refund. The experience was good, but the contract didn't really cover anything. If the transmission would go out, it wouldn't cover the whole transmission. It would just cover the part that went out. To break the transmission down to fix that, it won't cover it.

I went on the phone looking for somebody to go with because I had been to the dealership, and nobody ever got with me. I had been trying to find something for quite some time and I had just kept dropping off and not doing it. I decided that I would go ahead and do it and Carchex came up. It was recommended on the thing, and when I went and looked at some of the others they had, the rating was not where it should have been. The man from Carchex was very thorough with me on the telephone. He told me what the company would do and what they would do if something happened. He was clear with all of that with me and he let me ask questions to see what I thought about it. I got my information with the contract in the mail from them.

I took my car in because my A/C is not blowing cold air. The service center calls Carchex for authorization. The cost of the repair is around $1700.00 and they only authorize $900. I called to find out why and the lady on the phone is short with me. Says they are allowed to authorize whatever amount they want. I tried to get a better explanation, but did not receive one. I felt like she was put out because I questioned her. I feel like she felt I should be thankful for whatever she authorized.

Great experience, very personable and knowledgeable, overall good experience. Warranty pricing was much more reasonable than a warranty from the dealership. I was a mechanic for many years and have reached the age of achy back and knees don't want to work on my vehicles anymore so this is my first experience with an extended warranty. We'll see if the ease carries through if and when I ever have a claim.

I added Carchex services on 10/31/2022. However, I quickly learned from the service mechanics at Jaguar that they would not accept Carchex warranty services. The reason given - Carchex doesn't pay claims and doesn't make it easy to submit for services and repairs needed for your Jaguar. I learned that if I keep Carchex Jaguar would not accept it. Therefore, I called to cancel on the same day that I joined with them 10/31/2022 and everyone at Carchex continued to hang up on me. The guy in the loyalty department argued with me because of the information I told him about... Jaguar dealership not accepting them as a warranty company. The guy then hung up on me.
Rather the information is true or not that all Jaguar dealership will or will not take this particular warranty provider, I had a chance to see how the people at Carchex will treat you even if you had to cancel for some other reason. Advice... If you are not getting the warranty at the dealership, check with the car dealership service department regarding what warranty provider they accept before buying any warranty.

I cancelled my subscription because Carchex sold me a policy on my 650 a year ago and I didn't get what I asked for. So now I'm stuck with a bill for repairs because they stated that what was going on with my car couldn't have happened over a year's time. They said it happened over ten thousands of miles ago, which I have seals and gaskets repaired. So I was trying to get a refund because they sold me something that was not what I asked for. And as a customer, I'm pissed off because that’s gonna cost me out my pocket. The car wasn't even giving me any problems. I just noticed that when I'm sitting idle and if I crank it up in the morning and I back up, it smokes a little bit, but not a whole lot. They said those cars are known for that but because I had extended warranty, I took it to the shop because it's a preventive thing for me. I don't want to keep driving it and ignoring it. If something happens, I've got a bigger problem.
Carchex denied my claim and I was very upset. I have four cars that I pay every month for coverage and that was a rip off. As a customer, I would put it in writing that I want a refund back 60 days prior. But in reality, I had it a year. I paid into it and never used it other than this time. I've never even used the warranty. I should get for that particular car everything that I paid. I pay money into something that they sold me.

I asked If I could have that sent to me or if there was something I could look at online. And the rep said not until I pay them for the program. That was a little silly.

It's horrible with Carchex. They are very proper and informative, until they get the payment. After that, when you try to contact them, there's no customer service. I was trying to contact them to ask questions. I tried it for a week and a half but couldn't get in contact. The only time that I heard from them was when they wanted the payment. They were very nice, but by that time, I was so frustrated with the service. I didn't want any part of it. When I told them about my dissatisfaction, the rep abruptly got so rude and just switched me over to the cancellation department. He didn't even bother to give me a chance to ask me why I wanted to cancel. I'm trying to get a confirmation on my cancellation but I had not heard from them as of yet.

I signed up with a policy back in August and they took funds out of my account.

So they re-signed me up with the new policy. Not the same policy nor the same coverage for more money. They said the rep no longer works with the company and he messed up the first order I asked him about when they took money out and I put it back to the back D and they said no so they re-charge me again without totally different policy with less coverage and more money. This is a clear case of bait and switch and predatory business practice.

My wife and I are getting divorced and hopefully, I'm going to be awarded the car. So, I’ll have to cancel Carchex. But they were helpful, prompt and good. So, once I get an actual vehicle of my own and if it doesn’t come with an extended warranty, I probably will be calling Carchex back. I wonder if you could transfer it. But I'll probably be transferring it to whatever vehicle I get. The mechanics I've talked to said they take them. So, it's good to have. That way, I'm not spending thousands of dollars out of pocket to get my car fixed whenever it needs it.

I'm thinking about canceling because there was a miscommunication. The sales guy was so much interested in me getting the policy that he didn't explain or understand what I was saying to him. He told me something about there will be a point where I wouldn't even be making payments anymore, which I thought was odd. He sounded desperate. He didn't do anything as far as ask me about billing. It put my payment schedule in a bad situation where they were asking for a payment after I told them that I wanted the payment to be around the 11th or the 12th of every month. They said they were gonna go back and see if they can change it. I never got an email back so I don't know what's going on with my policy. Carchex needs to have their salespeople not be sounding so much like, “I need to sell this policy,” but more of explaining the coverage better. They'll get better results that way.

The rep explained that I have the platinum coverage and everything is covered but it's specified that there is a certain amount for labor unless you have a different plan that covers it. I almost canceled because of the way that the contract reads. But after the rep explained to me, I said, "Okay," and I kept the warranty. Definitely check CARCHEX out.

I have a used car and I took care of my first expense before I got CARCHEX. I was on the phone with them and they seemed to tell me that everything that I could possibly imagine would be handled. During the purchasing process, they called me a lot. I let them talk me into buying this policy. But I became disappointed and disillusioned because I assumed that they were gonna stand behind their product. It didn't turn out that way, so I am not happy. My second expense came up for the transmission but because of something that a mechanic back in the summertime said about the transmission shifting funny, CARCHEX stopped my car from being fixed. That upset me because I didn't realize that that was a precondition. When it came time to actually use the policy, we got our backs turned on us.
The simplest thing would be do what Progressive does and send out one of those little chips where you just plug it into your car and it tells you anything that's wrong with the car before you even make the purchase. That way, CARCHEX and the customer are not wasting their time and everybody's on the same page. That would make things a little bit simpler.
I always had some kind of warranty company behind every used car that I bought in the past 13 years. This is the first time that I actually had to use anything through the warranty company. My expectations were that even if CARCHEX didn't take care of all of it, they will take care of most of it or even some of it. But they flat out denied the claim. This is not worth spending this kind of money every month. We didn't benefit from the warranty and at this point, we've decided that we are going to cancel the policy. I bought a used 2019 Honda Accord and got a different warranty company because I was not about to book the same thing again.

American cars are not really set up to be what we were expecting 40 years ago when I first started driving. With the extensity of the cost of the vehicle, it dawned on me what would happen if I get caught in a situation where I need that help. I found CARCHEX on the internet and I liked everything I was reading about them. With the way things are right now with the American economy, the coverage would be really helpful.
The sales rep was really professional, upfront, polite, and helpful. He left no webs in a dark corner. This is good service right here and I highly recommend it. I live outside of San Antonio and I travel to West Texas at least twice a month. If I get stuck somewhere between point A and point B, I have access to get a car for rental.

Hi, On Thursday 9/22/2022 at 5:43 pm I called into Carchex then I spoke with a Carchex sales associate Jeremey **. I choose Carchex due to research ratings by multiple sources, the better rate / terms and the personable professional manner in which Jeremy ** conducted himself on the phone. With that said, this is where the Bro-mance ended. I called back on Friday 9/23/2022 at 4:28 pm. I called Carchex to speak with Jeremy **. I spoke with a female sale person who indicated Jeremy was on a call and the supervisor I spoke with was not available either. I asked for a call back and she said she would have either or both of them return my call due to the concerns I brought up regarding not informed of the increase in deductible from 100$ per occurrence to 200$, that would have been a deal breaker or further discussions of Options and I was not informed of the 30 Day 100 mile waiting period.
The waiting period is reasonable but not being informed is Not. The female sales rep asked if she could help and I explained and said those two items are not acceptable to not have made myself aware and transparency is something they strive for. I asked for a follow up when the call ended again at 4:48 pm. I did not receive a call that evening from anyone as my call log indicates and empty voice mail confirmed. Today is Wednesday 928/2022 at 1:45 pm and YET to receive a follow up call to my concerns brought up. I also emailed Jeremy ** speaking to my concerns and lack of follow up and why hasn't it occurred, venting a bit at him due he inability to respond? I will cancel this policy if not addressed with in 48 hrs. and choose Endurance, Car Shield or Empire if this continues and I will post on all social medias.

I took my truck to a local repair shop to have the right side exhaust manifold R/R as it was making a noise. The mechanic told me that the the manifold have a crack in it like it had rusted from the inside out, and it had warped a little. He was told that it would NOT be covered totally because of overheating. The contract that I have with Carchex states that the manifold is covered, but in the exceptions clause (not covered if due to excessive heat).
Since it was rusted from the inside out and had a crack in it I believe it should have been fully covered and it was not due to ANY excessive heating that is was due to time and materials and getting hot and cold (not excessive Heat) every time it was driven. I tried customer service. They did not understand, I believe they trained to project a worse case when talking to the customer.
I tried to contact one of the VPs of the company, I called at least 10 times and spend 2.5 hours on hold to no avail, he would not call me back and I was told he was too busy and like I am not but good customer service is take the few minutes to try to make the company happy. I now am thinking I made the wrong choice in extended warranty companies, and am thinking of cancelling what is left of the warranty. I am checking into other companies.

They'll find a reason. I pay the warranty every month and there’s a deductible. But the part is not under the warranty even though they said all engine parts.

The further we went into things, it was better.
The fellow that I talked to was dealing with someone who had not considered his company at all and yet he was still able to do a fair comparison without running the other companies down, which I appreciated. When a salesperson starts running other companies down, I shut them off immediately. The CARCHEX rep was super. He presented what he thought would be the best for me and I asked him for more options.
