Default Extended Warranty News!!

Prices did change but not much, I can’t discuss any prices on the forum so just send me an email and I will send pricing or recheck your prices for you.
This is your opportunity to buy a protection plan at the lowest price in the US AND save an additional $300 this month, yes I kept the discount for October! Remember my commitment to you, I will match or try to beat any price on a GM Protection Plan quote that you have received, it must be the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac or GMC Protection Plans. I have had customers send me pricing on an Ally plan-totally different plan and time and miles are not the same and wanted me to match or beat that price.
I sincerely appreciate all of the CorvetteForum members who have chosen to do business with us this year and in the past many years. Our new website has been very popular with those shopping for a protection plan.

So, again starting with Plans sold from October 3rd thru October 31st, 2018 we are going to discount all of our deeply discounted prices by an additional $300!!

No sales tax and also no additional fee for accepting a credit card! Note: We can sell the plan in every state except for California AND we can sell it on almost every make and model, yes this plan will cover Ford, Dodge, Ram, Mercedes, Infiniti, Lexus, etc!

We promise great service and the lowest prices.

Matching and beating other offers is our goal!

Visit our new website for a ton of information and to request a quote today! www.dennymenholtprotectionplans.com
You can also email me direct at dfichtner@dennymenholt.com and I must have your VIN, exact Miles, Date of purchase if bought used and State of Residence. Remember no more sales in the State of California!!


You can also call me directly at 406-896-3082 or on my cell phone at 406-698-6355.

Thanks for your business and best wishes for a great fall!

I like the quote that you sent me. But, it seems the only advantage to buy today vs next June when I plan to, Is saving that $300.00. I read that months and miles begin on contract date. am I wrong assuming this?

Here is the language copied directly from the contract:

"THIS CONTRACT IS NOT VALID UNLESS A COMPLETED REGISTRATION PAGE IS ATTACHED.
If the Contract Registration Page reflects the purchase of Platinum or Silver, Coverage under this Contract begins on the Contract Purchase Date unless the Contract Purchase Date is more than 10 days after the Vehicle Purchase Date, then a MANDATORY "WAITING PERIOD" will apply before Coverage begins as explained below. This Contract will expire according to the Term Months and/or Miles, whichever occurs first, as shown on the Registration Page, and/or when the Limits of Liability for the Contract have been reached.


• Expiration is measured in time from the Contract Purchase Date and expiration mileage is derived by adding Miles of Coverage as shown on the Registration Page to the Odometer Mileage at Contract Purchase Date. Maximum expiration mileage is 150,000 Odometer Miles."

Dennis,

I realize I'm picking a nit, but I suggest you completely avoid the use of the word "warranty" in reference to the product you sell.

"Warranty" is the exclusive domain of the manufacturer - what you have is, as you describe elsewhere, is an "Extended Protection Plan".

Using "warranty" may be seen as some (the courts) as a deceptive trade practice.

Best not to raise the issue in the first place.

Cheers.

Point is that GM is largely extending (with these Genuine GM plans) the original "B to B warranty" that came with the vehicle with few exceptions.... Dennis is just offering these "plans" at a reduced price vs. what a dealership (for example) might soak you for if you bought it from them. I did a great deal of comparison (cost and coverage) of plans I could find and..... drum roll.... this GMPP offering is superior in almost every way. Like health insurance.... you can pay almost nothing...but you GET almost nothing.

I opted to wait until the B to B warranty was expiring so I DID have to go through the "mandatory waiting period" as noted in the VH VETTE posting BEFORE it totally expired,.... so I did not have a period of no coverage..... I would advise you to examine your personal situation as to when you purchase this plan, but I suggest you take the waiting period into account along with everything else.

That said, my GM dealers don't have to call anyone to check on or file a claim..... since it is a GM offering vs. some 3rd party plan, it shows right on my ownership information...... With all the gadgets (power top, 8 speed tranny, electronics, etc.) I just could not imagine owning my C7 without this protection from huge costs ...... I call it insurance.......SWEET!!!

Hey.... you offered your view and hopefully you did NOT take my post as an issue with your post..... I just wanted to amplify on the topic and give some support for Dennis' offerings.... interesting that Cal. has blocked sales there because "Dennis is not a licensed insurance agent there".... what a joke.... smile....LK

My two cents.
You used the word "insurance" and I suggest this is what the product is and how it should be thought of.
Its mechanical breakdown insurance against a financial loss after a vehicle warranty expires.
It covers many/most of the things that the expired protection covered.
It states what is covered and has exclusions and requirements for filing "a claim" like a typical insurance product.
Our BtoB warranty requires us to do very little - the dealer fills out paperwork and files it with GM.
Its can be a valuable product for many people.
At least this is my view of it.

Kitesurfer and anyone else on the fence, you can wait as long as you want to purchase a plan but pricing changes at mileage intervals and GM can raise their pricing at any time without notice to me so if $300 up to $1000 more doesn't bother you then just wait until you feel comfortable in buying the plan. I have lots of customers that wait until the last minute and then it is my fault they have to pay another $1000-$1500 that they could have saved 6-9 months earlier.

To your point.... there is literally NOTHING that we have to do other than get an appointment to have the service adviser to assess the problem and, assuming they agree it should be covered, they do everything else.... if they disagree with your view of coverage, you may have to talk to the service manager or maybe the GM at the dealership but only needed in case of a disputed coverage...... easy peesy!!

OBTW.... remember if you get a plan with deductible.... if you have more than one issue serviced during your repair.....you ONLY pay the single deductible charge, not one per issue!! ......LK

Dennis has awesome prices and GMEPP has saved me money in my C6 but it is not a GM product. It may be licensed by GM but it is a product of AMT Warranty Corporation. When my C6 had a fuel sending unit failure it was treated like any other third party warranty and was referred to as such by the dealer. It was not easy to gain approval and required several calls to AMT to obtain authorization.

That said I will still purchase one for my C7

You are correct that the newer GMEPP plan is "under the wrapper" an AMT plan, not per se a GM Plan..... ...... I have the Platinum version.

There WAS a GMPP but GM "morphed" into the GMEPP some time ago..... here is a link to an old discussion with more detail.... clearly Dennis can detail what differences/improvement go with the GMEPP he offers..... I view it as being as comprehensive and "hassle free" an extended warranty/insurance as you can find......LK

Hummm, I'll bite and send up a request for a quote. My dealer quoted me 1700 for the coverage, I would be interested to see what others do. I get those freaking ads in the mail all the time from so many....

You can trust Dennis and he is very knowledgeable. I got both my C6 and C7 plans from him. I would never get a 3rd party extended warranty. Before I knew about Dennis I got one on my C5 and they went out of business.

Your experience sounds like an anomaly, and it's not supposed to work that way. Perhaps it was during the transition period from Ally (old GMPP) to the new GMEPP (AMT).

Now that the transition has been made, it's supposed to function as if it is a GM plan, and, in fact, it is the GM-sanctioned plan. It is generally handled at all GM dealers the same as the B2B. Thus, who actually owns it is irrelevant to the customer. Even in the "old days" before GMAC was sold to Ally, GMAC was separate company from GM.

In fairness, some GM dealers sell other plans like the Ally packages, but those tie you more to selling dealer. With the GM-sanctioned plan, you can go to any GM dealer, and the process should be seamless. Obviously, there may be a few dealers out there who haven't read the memo.
