Zurich Vehicle Service Contract

We were going through the contracts and talking about everything. At first, it was all confusing. It was all brand new to me. But I understood that there was a service with the vehicle, not a lifetime deal. It’s for free oil changes and they gave me a detailing on the car too. I just didn't realize that I was purchasing the Zurich Service Contract separately. I just thought I was getting it with the vehicle in total. But I'm glad that was part of it because it's reasonable.

We've only had to take our car in one time for regular service and it was fine. However, my windshield wiper has a bad squeak to it and I had questions and concerns. Since we just bought it, I thought it shouldn't. Instead of saying, “We'll schedule another time. We're too busy right now,” the service technician said, “Well, it's not covered, after so many days, for the windshield wipers. So what we're going to do is we can sell you a pair and you put them on yourself.” For a new vehicle? It didn’t sound right. Suggesting we make another appointment and come back and let them take care of it would have been better than that. I dropped it though. It wasn't worth pursuing for me. Our car has full coverage with Zurich and if a friend asked me, “Is it worth getting a warranty?” I would still say, “Absolutely.”

Zurich covered a little more, but for a powertrain warranty on a vehicle with over 100,000 miles, it's good. The rep said, “Hey, $2,300 you’ll get two years, so many miles, and it will cover your powertrain. Right if you leave here, if something blows up, it’s paid for." I was like, “That's easy.” Because I know what it costs to fix these vehicles.

I had Zurich previously which made me decide to go with them. The experience was great. It was completely easy, as it was advertised. Submitting a claim was quick. I did a wheel and tire last time, and I rode up to the shop. They called and verified it. It was easier for them to get it done than it was for Honda because I went to a different dealership, and they were a little confused. But once they got on the phone, they were able to move through very quickly. There was a little bit more learning that was needed to happen with the reps because they didn't know if the cosmetics were covered for the tire but we ended up getting it figured out and they were very professional. The extended coverage is very valuable. Even just the key program that they offer alone to replace my keys is more cost-efficient than the entire package.

I used Zurich when there was a major issue in my car that had to do with the actuator motor in the air conditioner. That was a warrantied part and the dealership contacted Zurich about it. At first, they told me the part wasn't covered under the warranty. But when I investigated further, they told me that they didn't know I had a Zurich warranty. They thought I had a Chrysler warranty even though I brought the dealership all the paperwork. That was not great. When I went through the paperwork, it seemed very clear to me that everything in my car is pretty much covered except for the upholstery. In the future, I will know that right off the bat and I won’t have to go back and forth with the dealer. Zurich has been fine so far.

In sales, they were very knowledgeable with my service. I had a fantastic dealership and my experience was just right the way they said it would be. They also got all of the amenities that a person needs to be able to sit in their waiting area for a while, and I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket.

Took my Subaru Forester in for its 5,000 mile check. One tire was losing air also. They fixed the tire for us, did the maintenance check AND washed our vehicle!! All of this in about an hour. Super nice and they called us to tell us what was wrong with the tire and how they are able to fix it with no charge to us.

When I went in they took care of oil change but was unable to assist with a small crack from the pebble that had hit the windshield. I was referred to the windshield repair company that the dealership uses and I paid out of pocket.

Our 2014 VW Jetta Hybrid has had two flat tires in the past few months. In both cases, it required the purchase of a new tire. Also, in the second incident we utilized the coverage to have assistance in changing the flat with the spare. Thank you.

The car had come with this problem. I took it to Mini, as the warranty had expired that month. They said it needed a motor mount, but they weren't going t replace it. I wasn't informed about the warranty and Hilton Head Honda said they weren't to fix it. So I finally saw that the warranty was in effect and you were going to fix it, less $100. I couldn't get it fixed at HH Honda, so I hope my $100 payment won't be every time I have an issue.
