Extend Warranty?

[xKANEx]

I bought one for mine. To be honest... I've never been a big believer in them, but when the cost of labor is so high these days- and the trannys and engines are astronomical- it's hard to think a warranty is a frivolous waste of money.

Really- who can afford the cost of "healthcare" for LSx based engines and 6 speed autos without taking a hit in the wallet or savings account?


It's not like the old days of $25 parts and $50 in labor. Heck- the clerk at the gas station only sell over prices sodas. These days, they can't even tell you what towing company to call.

So true, my Trans work paid off my warranty, then a month later the rearend went out so it came in handy and the fact I have Triple A towing service was a plus getting it home then to a shop. I tell all I know to at least have AAA, some say their Ins, or cell phone co offer road service, true with Ins, but you have to pay then get reinburised and with others like cell phone co, you are paying $6 to $8 a month then you are paying way to much with less coverage than AAA, when you can pay $80 a year and be covered in any vehical you are in up to a 100 miles tow plus discounts at several retailers.

I just bought an extended warranty with my truck through Penfed. The company they use is Route66 and it seems to be a good plan. 1300.00 for 3yrs/36k. Cover just about everything. Just got the truck and haven't had to use it just yet though luckily.

Best deal I found is through this dealer for GMPP. I called them and they are a high volume warranty seller. My Tahoe has 35,400 so I just bought Major Guard 36,000 more miles 0 detuctible for 1,000.
