Having coverage is very valuable. I just purchased a used truck, and I intend to keep it for a very long time, like I got my previous vehicle. However, the dealership’s extended warranty was a little expensive, so I did something on my own. The Carchex rep who helped me sign up was good.

Worked with Murray on my 2015 Silverado coverage. He was precise, professional and responsive to my needs and concerns. It's the way a business exchange should work. And because of this experience I added my wife's car with a policy. Now all 3 of our autos are covered with CARCHEX.

Carchex had a better package than anyone else. It was great. The guy, Devin, took the time to explain to me everything that will be covered and what I was qualified for. He was on point with everything. You pay into other warranty companies for years, and then when it's time to get the car fixed, they’d figure out a reason of why they don't have to honor their part of the warranty. 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. Devin has heard about those people too but Carchex doesn't do that. He took the time to tell me what specifically will be covered.

CARCHEX was one of the companies that I did not pay any attention to. I was looking at Endurance and CarShield and really focusing particularly on Endurance. When I got this very quick call from CARCHEX, I didn’t recognize the company’s name. At first, I thought it was a scam call. But after a few questions, I felt somewhat assured. 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. He was very helpful about that and was willing to look at other options so that I could compare them with what he had presented at first.

My customer service experience with Carchex went well. When I signed up, I liked the fact that I didn't feel pressured to sign up. I was given time to think about it and look around and come back and then sign up. They weren't as extensive as some of the other companies I had looked into, which didn't bother me as much only because the amount that was given far exceeded the other companies that I dealt with. But I did not like the fact that I wasn't informed how long it would take before I could actually access the program. I didn't know the 90 days plus 200 miles out or the 30 days plus 500 miles. Other than that, it was okay.

I signed up last week, and the rep was very helpful and informative. He answered the questions I had regarding what Carchex has to offer versus some other warranty companies I spoke with. He was able to really clear things up and make it make sense. So far, everything has been fine. The main reason Carchex got my attention is that whatever your monthly payment was, that’s what you needed to make in order to get the policy going. A lot of the other companies I was calling, they have a deposit, or the first payment will be almost double of what the monthly payment is.

First, they said they would call me with my quote and did not do so for two days. Since I missed their call, I called them back. I spoke with a very professional and polite agent named Eric. He was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions before giving me a quote. When I was concerned that it was a bit too high, he put me on hold to discuss it with his manager. That's when everything went south.
Steve - the "manager" - is one of these old-school, pushy, rude sales types who wanted me to purchase NOW to get the special "deal" he was offering me. It wasn't much of a deal, first of all. But more importantly, when I told him that I like to read over everything in writing first before making decisions like this, he was very rude and said that I can purchase anytime I want, but the "deal" he got me was not for everyone, and I would have to pay now. So I told him I don't like to be pressured - BYE! He lost my business, and now I'm going with one of his competitors. He should've let Eric handle the whole thing on his own! We have way too many options these days to put up with people like him.

Took car to closest Mercedes dealer, 120 miles away. Display Screen not coming on. I thought it was a fuse. It was not. Dealer called Carchex for preauthorization, but was told it was not included in my platinum plan. Also saw on my carchex contract shows 200 dollar deductible not the 100 quoted my representative I got plan from. He also said all electronics in the car were covered. I called sales again and spoke to Patrick as if I was a new customer and gave him same info on make and model. He quoted me the same 100 dollar deductible on a four year payout platinum plan plus told me everything on my car except oil changes body parts were covered. I specifically asked about display for back up cameras and navigation. He reassured me that and all electronics are covered.
I then called carchex and after some time of being told this was not covered. I was transferred to a supervisor Ms **. She told me it is not covered. I told her I recorded both sales conversations with different people and both said it was and told her both quoted 100 deductible on a 48 mo. Payout platinum plan not 200 dollars contract came back with. She later called me back and said yes it is covered and that she would send authorization through so when dealer called they would get approval. The following Monday the dealer called carchex and again was denied..
I have sent 4 emails in over a week to the supervisor ms ** requesting that this be taken care of and to notify me. I have not heard back. If I do not have this approved tomorrow and the deductible changed to the 100 dollars as quoted to me this report will be filed with BBB. IF IT IS NOT CORRECTED AND APPROVED A LETTER OF COMPLAINT BY AUGUST 5TH BE SENT TO THE TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Thank you for your review. Based on your complaint, we have discussed your claim with your contract administrator and reviewed the recorded call you had with our staff when the vehicle service contract was purchased. We will address your concerns.
First, in review of your call, our staff correctly advised you the deductible for your coverage was $200.00 per visit to the repair shop. This was repeated on the call when our representative summarized your purchase and asked if you agreed to the terms. While we offer Titanium level coverage through multiple contract administrators, many have differences including optional coverages and deductibles, your plan included the $200 deductible.
With regards to your repairs, the contract administrator was contacted by your shop on 7/18/2022 for a repair to your radio. According to the claim notes, the adjuster advised your repair shop the radio was not covered in error. The adjuster did not see the Technology group option included on your coverage which lists the Radio as an eligible repair.
You spoke with CARCHEX 7/21/2022. We sent proof the technology group optional coverage was purchased to the contract administrator who advised they updated it in their system. On 7/25/2022, your repair shop called back and was again advised the technology group in error. The adjuster was reading the prior notes and wrote that the shop was rushing him. We apology for these errors on behalf of the administrator. We have sent both errors to their Management team to address their staff as these errors have caused the delay in your claim.
The administrator advised they spoke to you today and verified the part numbers you provided are eligible for coverage. They are awaiting a call from your repair shop to enter the claim. Please have the repair shop call the contract administrator right away. We will ask the administrator expedite the claim.
If you have any questions, please give us a call at (877)227-2439 Ext. 6002.

I liked the service and the follow-up. I like the fact that being a repeat customer, CARCHEX took that into consideration to meet the needs that we needed for this particular vehicle.

My representative followed up even the next day to make sure that I got the calls that I needed to get within the timeframe and that was it.

I signed up for repair coverage from this company. When I received the contract I saw that it had PAGES of excluded repairs, and many hurdles for the customer to jump through to get service. I also saw that the actual price was too much for me to afford. So I called them to cancel. The first number dialed kept me on hold for 30 minutes. That person, when I told him I want to cancel, transferred me to the "Cancellation Person". That number took 15 minutes to answer. That person kept me on the phone for a half hour, trying to convince me to remain with the company. He finally told me that he can't cancel on the phone! I have to receive an email and write a letter to the company in order to cancel. The letter asks for several pieces of information THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE!! Such as the VIN #, my address, year, make and model of my car, etc. These are all delaying tactics to prevent you from canceling, or to take another payment or 2 from the card you gave them. BEWARE!
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback. We apologize for the long hold times. As our message stated when you called in, we are aware of technical issues causing longer than normal hold times. We are working to quickly resolve these issues.
In review of your account, you were able to reach a Customer Loyalty Representative and cancel your coverage on 7/25/2022. A full refund was issued back to your account on file in the amount of $78.12.
With regards to the coverage terms and conditions, all vehicle service contracts including manufacturer warranties include terms and exclusions to coverage. While it may appear overwhelming on paper, we strive to be full disclosure. Additionally, many of the exclusions are common sense items for example our coverage will not cover repairs if you are in a vehicle accident. That is a claim for your car insurance company.

There was some miscommunication when I bought the warranty on the phone that the rep had told me that it would be 30 days or 500 miles before it came into effect. But when the service contract got here, it said 1,000. But it wasn't that big of a deal because the car seems to be in good shape. Other than that, the conversation was good. I wish CARCHEX would do more of communication through email. It would be nice to specifically email a customer something prior to making them pay for it so they could fully understand what it is they're purchasing. But I couldn't get an email sent to me that showed me what the coverage was until after I agreed to buy it and gave the rep payment, and then I got an email.

I'm still in the process of deciding whether I'm gonna cancel Carchex because I don't know what they're gonna cover if they're gonna cover anything at all or if there's a loophole in this contract that says they don't have to pay. Their price for what I was getting was good compared to the others. So, I was pleased till I tried to read through the contract. Reading through it is so hard.

The thing that I love about CARCHEX is my payments have been 106 consecutively. They haven't raised my rate. So, that's really helped me out and kind of been an incentive to keep it. If it ever were to go down, that would be even better but I'm just being very patient and consistently paying my bill. CARCHEX was the only company that would go as low as my bare minimum or my max, and they were really sweet. They offered me a $700 credit towards my policy. They were very calming.

When the CARCHEX representative said that they paid for the sensors, that sold me right there. I got a bumper-to-bumper policy from them which was cheaper than CarShield, my previous provider, offered me. Also, I got my policy booklet from CARCHEX within a week but with CarShield, I called them three separate times asking for my booklet to show what I was covered for and what I was not covered for. Then after I cancelled them, it finally showed up.

According to our records, you spoke with us several months ago about cancelling the coverage. A cancellation was processed on 4/15/2022 and back dated to be effective 3/15/2022.
Unfortunately, as the retailer, we do not have any records of a transmission issue at the time of cancellation. Although those records may be with the contract administrator, your coverage is cancelled.

Everything sounded good at first with CARCHEX. But everything didn't go too well with them. My car is at a shop right now and the person that comes to see about the car told the guy at the shop that the car had too many miles on it, but he didn't tell me this. So, they accepted my contract though and I've been paying for months on this bill, then now, they denied my contract. At the moment, I'm waiting for somebody to get in touch with me to see if I could get my money back. I just got robbed by them.

I talked to CARCHEX's representative and she was talking okay. So, I just went on with it. There was just one simple mistake that they made. It was a certain part up there that I thought was covered. But it wasn't, and I wasn't told that it wasn't covered. I had a chance to look over my coverage. I called and talked with my representative. And I asked her to send me everything that is covered. When I looked that on that paper, that particular thing was optional. If she explained to me that it was optional, I would’ve added it to the package.
When I called in and try to get it added, the person stated that my coverage was six months old. I could have if I did it within 30 days, but that wasn't told to me either. And when I talked to my representative, she said, “You call and they can add it for you tomorrow.” But when I called, they said they couldn't add it. That was one major setback that I didn't like. That is a pivotal point to the car that I purchased. That something, they mainly go out. But I will recommend someone to CARCHEX.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and will address your concerns related to your claim experience on your 2015 Chrysler 300.
According to our records, a silver level Centennial plan was purchased on 1/26/2022. At the time of purchase, your vehicle was reported to have 122,501 miles on it. The coverage is inclusionary coverage which lists each component eligible for coverage.
On 4/27/2022, the contract administrator reported a claim being called in reporting a Check Engine light. The dealership reported a misfire to cylinder 2 and 3. The service advisor stated they swapped the coil and plug but the misfire remained. The repair shop reported the vehicle was fully assembled and the administrator could send an inspector to verify the failure.
The administrator called you directly on 4/27/2022 and left a voicemail to discuss the claim and request your maintenance records.
Additionally, the contract administrator ordered a 3rd party inspection of the vehicle to document the check engine light codes and reported misfires on 4/27/2022. The report was received on 4/28/2022.
According to the inspection report, the inspector was able to verify cylinder # 2 was low on compression. A major misfire was documented with the scan tool reporting hundreds of misfires in 60 seconds, consistent with an internal engine failure. The inspector advised teardown of cylinder # 2 would be needed to determine the cause of failure.
On 5/2/2022, your dealership spoke to the administrator about the inspection and next steps. The repair shop was advised maintenance records were still needed and once those records were received, a teardown to the point of failure would be needed.
When advised tear down would be required, your dealership stated this was the second time and asked who was responsible for these costs. This was the first and only time tear down was requested by the administrator and is standard procedure for an internal engine failure.
Upon completion of the teardown and re-inspection of the vehicle, the cause of failure was determined to be caused by the failure of consistent with an intake valve to valve seat seal failure causing a lack of compression and a misfire. Unfortunately, this cause of failure is excluded from coverage under the terms of the contract and the claim was denied by the contract administrator.
Our records show you called to cancel the coverage on 5/26/2022 and emailed the finance company multiple times stating there should be no more payments drawn. Based on these records, your coverage is being cancelled effective 5/26/2022 with your claim mileage of 127111 miles. Any refund due will be expedited.

I got CARCHEX back in January. I was on a Silver. But I realized it didn’t cover everything, so I switched to Gold. One of them doesn’t cover everything. The AC went out in my car and when I took it to the dealership, they said it would cost X, Y, and Z. How CARCHEX sold it to me was I just pay the deductible and they would cover whatever. But they would only pay one-third of the cost. What happened to me paying the deductible? What am I paying CARCHEX monthly for if they are not going to cover my service? My AC was 1,600, and they would only cover 500. So, I just paid out of pocket. They tried to make a scene like I was trying to get over on them, and they didn’t know if it was already an issue. I said, “You can just cancel. I’m not gonna pay you monthly, and you’re gonna pick or choose what you want to pay for.”
Also, it took me four days just to get through to somebody, because I wait on the phone for two to three hours at a time for a representative. Nobody was willing to help me. They kept, “Oh, you got to call this number,” or “I’m gonna transfer you here, I’m gonna transfer you there.” And every time I wanted to cancel, it took me all week just to do it. Nobody wanted to cancel my service. I either would get hung up on, or they would try to make me wait to talk to somebody. It was too much. Everything about it was a scam. I’d never get contact again. If anybody tells me to get CARCHEX, I would tell them not to do it.

CARCHEX's rep told me that certain parts on my car will be covered, and my deductible would be $100. I asked him to put me on a plan to cover engine, transmission, brakes, and shocks. A few weeks ago, I called to ask them about my shocks being covered and they told me that it wasn’t, so it was a red flag for me. But the rep said as long as I pay my monthly payment, I have $100 deductible on like if my engine went out or some of the stuff on the inside of the car, like electronics and brakes. They had another plan that covered all that. So it jumped my plan up to paying 150 a month, when I could have just been paying 90 bucks for the basic stuff. But signing up and them taking my money was the easiest part of it. I like the peace of mind that I won’t have to pay all that money to get the engine installed.

So far, my experience with CARCHEX has been exactly what they said it was gonna be. I looked at three different companies and called each one of them. The three big factors I used were price, what they covered, and the patience they had to answer all my questions without repeating themselves and actually answering the question. I signed up with CARCHEX.
I had read a lot about CARCHEX online. They started with asking me stuff about my car first, see what my car was eligible for before they even started going through anything. My car wasn't eligible for some of their plans, so their rep said there are some things they wouldn't be able to offer me. So before they went any further, they went with that first. Then, they went over what it means when it says transmission and suspension and what parts are involved with that, and also what it means if you want to do any kind of rider for anything. I have a turbo. So he was like, “Well, we do have turbo, but it’s a rider.” He told me what the extra was to have that put on there. He explained to me about their cancellation and explained if I never used it, at the end of my term, I would be eligible for partial refund on the unused stuff. He went over how to file a claim and told me what the cost would be monthly.

I took the vehicle to the dealership and they checked it out. I had to leave it and then, they called me back and said it was the transmission. I was supposed to pay $100 deductible but I ended up paying 1,300 because the adjuster wanted them to break the transmission down. So, that cost me more money. Plus, I didn’t have a ride to get back and forth to work for a couple of weeks. They should have made sure I got a loaner. I couldn't get any rental car because they were out and the rental car was so high.
Carchex shouldn't have a dealership do something if they make the customer pay for it. If they were gonna put a new transmission, they should have never had them break it down and leave me with the bill. The guy who called was telling me that I needed to make sure that it was right because he didn’t want me to be out any money. So, I called Carchex and they said it wasn’t on me for them to break it down. But then the guy said that he would call to make sure. So he called back and said that Carchex said it would be on me if they break it down.
The dealership replaced the transmission but they tore it down just to see what was wrong with it and made me pay for the tear down. I didn't like that at all. They could have said that they could do half and not make me pay the whole thing. But they made pay the whole thing for something that I didn't want them for to do.

After I cancelled, it took a while but I got the money back and it wasn't as quick as their rep made it sound like.

I thought Carchex was going to be the best one but I was wrong. I took my car to a shop and they told me the AC compressor was out. Carchex wouldn't cover it until I paid the shop to replace the clutch and the AC compressor, when the AC compressor comes with a new clutch. So, they wanted me to spend over $500 and a new clutch, when the whole AC compressor and everything was about 800. I don’t like anything about their service. It was wrong that I took the vehicle to the shop and they wanted me to spend this extra unnecessary money, when the shop clearly told them that it was an AC compressor.

I purchased Carchex because my car wasn't under warranty anymore. I called their number and I spoke with a guy that seemed nice. I did the payments and three months later, there was something wrong with the car so I brought it to the shop. I was told that was not covered. There was fraud. The guy that I initially spoke with was just fast-talking and didn't give me what I had thought I agreed on. Carchex should be giving me good information and getting stuff. I did not have a good experience with their guy. I'm going to get out of Carchex if I can.

We usually keep cars for 10 to 15 years and I figured a warranty would be a good investment. I had done a little bit of research about different warranties and Carchex was one of the better ones. If we sold the car in six months or in two years or 50,000 miles, the proration was reasonable. The cost of the length of Carchex's coverage was about average. I was told that if I signed up that day on the phone call and we paid it off at an increased rate, we would save several hundred dollars on the overall cost. I am on an automatic payment system and I'm paying a little bit more a month to pay it off ahead of time. I was told I would get a discount for doing that.
I've owned a lot of different cars and extended warranties have always been something important because at probably every other good used car purchase we make, something goes wrong at 60,000 or 70,000 miles that ends up being close to the cost of the warranty coverage. The warranty coverage usually has an expedited process where you call, talk to a person, and they help you resolve it in terms of, “Here's a rental car. Here's the place to go fix it. “ The couple of times that we've had to use extended warranties, it was much easier than trying to pay out of pocket, find a rental car, find a motel, and find a place for service.

My daughter's car was out of warranty, and the dealership recommended Carchex. But we were not satisfied. She had two different problems with her car and they wouldn't fix anything. They said it was all wear and tear. One of them caused her to have an accident. They wouldn't cover anything, so we canceled the policy. It was a horrible hassle because they kept telling me, "You have to fill out all this information. Then, you have to send it to us. You can't tell us over the phone." They wanted the mileage and a whole list of stuff. I thought that was really stupid.

CARCHEX has been confusing in the beginning because they did the wrong car. I wanted one car. I ended up doing two, but it cost too much. So, I had to reiterate, call early this morning, and talk to them to see what they could do because the payment was too much. They straightened it out. I ended up signing for three years to get these payments down, to get both cars covered. One is two shades into being an antique, but it's very old. That's the one I wanted out front. Unfortunately, they put the wrong car upfront, which made me go back and straighten it out. But they have me a bargain. They told me that they would reduce it from 2 something to 167. But I haven’t got the packet.
This is my second day, and I’m looking to get a refund of the money they took. They took 200 and some odd dollars out for the two cars. And when I narrowed it down this morning, it came to 150 some odd dollars. Also, they said that I could have one of the cars towed ASAP, roadside service. But the morning after I called, I was on hold for a long time. I’m still trying to find who can tow one of my cars. But the representatives were good.
