Default Extended Warranty Question

The original warranty on on 2004 coupe expires in a few months and, although I've had no problems so far, I'm considering the GM Extended Warranty simply for the peace of mind. I haven't found an alternative to the local dealership in my area (North NJ) so my options seem limited to GM. My search of the Forum found mostly positive experiences with the GM plan. I would appreciate any tips, especially regarding the best place to purchase the GM Extended Warranty in terms of price and service. Thanks.

For a GM extended warranty you can't beat Fichtner.

Give Dennis Fichtner a call. He can work wonders with the GMPP.

Corvette Fox,

I am curious. What dealership do you work for and are you a sponsoring dealer or vendor?

So, sign up as a sponsoring dealer or vender and bring on the competition, we love it!

As you can see from most of the responses here, Ken Fichtner is the man for GMPP extended warranties. Not only is he quick to answer any questions you may have about the GMPP, he is one hell of a nice guy! Thanks Ken!

Default warranty

Does anyone know of a reputable company that would cover my 02 with 50,000 miles that won't rape me?
