Default extended warranty ?

Where is the best (least expensive) place to get a GM extended warranty? My wifes 04 trail blazer is about to go off coverage and I want to extend it.

There have been way too many warranty companies which went out of business and left their clients twisting in the wind. To me the only safe choice is the GM Protection Plan. Maybe a little more expensive (although you can cut the price by accepting more risk/deductible), but if GMPP goes under so too will have GM and a bad warranty won't be your biggest problem.

Check the forum for dealer in the Northwest who gives good prices on GMPP. I think its Fred Beans.

Check with Dennis Fichtner at Fichtner Chevy. Best prices around on the GMPP. They are a sponsoring dealer on the forum.

Check around like I did....
I found Jason Walter @ Ross Downing Chevrolet seems to offer the best deals around. 800-417-5162 www.rossdowningchevrolet.com

He offered me the lowest price of any forum dealer.
