Be very careful. 3rd party auto warranty companies are notorious rip offs. Check out how long they have been around. Some of them just go belly up after a few when the claims start coming in, then reopen under a new name. Try to get one through the manufacturer if you think you need it.
I would second the above.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17244050 Thu, 09 Nov 2006 08:24:16 EDT Re: Auto Advantage Inc.

What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17243715 Thu, 09 Nov 2006 05:27:53 EDT Re: Auto Advantage Inc. Anyone use their extended auto warranty? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238107 3SGTE : I would suggest talking to a shop that has had to make a claim on someone's policy.

I have seen a wide range of these insurance policies, some are good, some are not. Some interpret the contracts fairly, some do not. In the some of the examples shown, to varying degrees, even if interpreted equitably, there are exclusions that would result in common repairs not being covered.

It really is a bit of a gamble, hope it works out ok.

If yes, carefully review the exclusions. It may well be within the rights of an insurer to amortize all replacement parts.
