Default extended warranty

Has anyone ever purchased an extended warranty other than the GM. I see a lot of companies offering this and wondered if anyone has had any luck with them or any problems.

For my current C5, I have now purchased two extended warranties. The first was from MBPI and did not have a bit of trouble with the company in terms of handling claims. I now have a warranty through Warranty Direct and so far haven't had to use it. But from what I hear, they are good to deal with.

If your vette has more than 60k miles Warranty Direct won't offer you a warranty. I'm currently talking to the folks at 1Source Auto Warranty about a 36mo/36K warranty. I've done a lot of reserch on this lately and I believe that if you have a high mileage vette that 1Source is the way to go. Nice folks there and they don't require an inspection.

I just purchased my 6 year / 75,000 from Warrenty Direct for my 2004 C5. I have 15,000 miles on the car now, and the $0 deductible option was $2,050.

Looks like Warranty Direct is popular here. They just saved my g'*** a couple of hours ago. The electronics went hay-wire in my C5 a couple of weeks ago and I'm just now able to take it to the dealership today. Total cost of the repair was nearly $1900. I paid the $100 deductable.

Personally I think it's a good investment. It paid for a $450 rear tie-rod last year. These cars are mecanical devices and they will break, and I'm a guy who babies his car. Good luck.
