The only time I've purchased an extended warranty was from the dealer at the time of the purchase (a previous vehicle, not a GM)

I am currently looking for a 2025 HC or Premier and I am curious about extended warranty options.

Is there a recommended 3rd party warranty company that people on here recommend or am I better of getting an extended warranty from the dealer?

I know I'm covered to 60k from the year and I see that chevy offers powertrain, silver and platinum, but when I try to get more info on pricing for those plan options, it asks me to select a dealer and when I attempt to do that, I only get options to view inventory, schedule an appointment, etc...everything but pricing details. Regardless, that's one of the things I'll ask about as that will add to the total price of the vehicle.

However, that's why I'm here, I'm trying to see if there are other/better options vs going though the dealer.

Thanks.

Dealer will likely have the “best” because most franchise dealers are required to work with specific GM approved vendors. The reason pricing is not shown is because pricing is VERY subjective to the dealership and F&I manager on duty. I would recommend calling several dealers asking the price of the warranty (pending the sale of a vehicle with them) and seeing how many will quote you. Should shop warranties like a new car: Lowest price and least hassle wins.

Thanks for the quick reply.

For better prices on GM warranties check Knapp or James Black Cadillac.
I used Knapp when I bought mine. I gave the dealer the option to match the Knapp price but they couldn't (or wouldn't).

I went to knapp and they don't show prices, which is fine. If I put in new vehicle info I have to submit my info to speak with someone. I guess I'll have to circle back to this if I decide to buy.

How does it work at the dealership...do I tell them I don't want a warranty then contact knapp and buy through them? If I get this far I would have called knapp to get pricing so I have something to compare it to when the dealer offers their pricing. I guess I could also ask this question to the person I speak with at knapp.
