I believe so... Now I haven't talked to them directly, but they did not ask if there was a warranty on the car right now when I did the on-line quote stuff on the web.

I had a horrible experience with Easy Care. I think these Chevy finance guys who offer Easy Care get some type of kickback or quota incentive. Stick with GMPP, Warranty Direct, or some of the others that are highly recommended. Read my post above and please reconsider Easy Care.

Hope the repair goes well. Good thing you did have the extended warranty.

Got the car back Friday morning and everything was covered. I am a little concerned though because the dealer said that EasyCare didnt cover it b/c I didnt get an inspectiopn at time of purchase. The dealer covered the cost since I bought the warranty from them. They also said now I have the inspection so I am okay. I hope I dont have any probs with EasyCare but if I do, I bought it from the same dealership that does my repairs so I just have to go one office over to raise hell.

GMPP saved my @ss when the EBCM went out on my 02 Z, 2 weeks after I bought it used back in 05. Good thing i had that warranty, otherwise it would've cost me a butt load. It paid for itself 3 times over and I still have 2 years left. Gotta love it!
