New purchase 2025 tahoe - warranty question

[nomech]

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.

I got mine at James Black and they gave me a price before purchase and explained all my mileage and year options.

Some dealers will only offer aftermarket, non GMPP Extended Warranties. This is what happened when I purchased my 2024. First time I ever had a GM dealer not offer GMPP. Since it was a company I never heard of, I passed on it. I have found over the years there is less complications with the GMPP Extended Warranty, usually you do need to return to a dealer to get coverage. Sometimes they will reimburse if you are traveling and need something smaller addressed at an independent shop.

I have in the past asked when presented with a GMPP Extended Warranty if they would sell if for 1/2 what they original told me, because there is a high profit margin for the dealer on these and I was successful in getting the GMPP Extended Warranty at 1/2 the first price presented to me.

Same here. I cross shopped dealer, Knapp and Todd Sutherland. Knapp had the best price. They also have zero interest payment options. Highly recommend.
