What makes you think they don't?

I suggest you contact Dennis Fichtner. Here's one of this threads: Extended Warranty News.

You are correct. GM does not offer their own extended warranty but each dealership sells an extended warranty that's not GM. When I ordered my C7 I also paid $3000 for a bumper to bumper extended warranty from the dealer. On my C5 I had three warranties on it before I got rid of it. Only one of them was GM. The extended was not and after that expired I was able to get another one. According to two dealerships in Austin, TX all dealerships sell an extended warranty that is not GM.

It should be noted, in the fine print you'll see the GM plan is run by a 3rd party, but it is still marketed and sold by GM.

To be helpful, I did the hard work of putting "Chevrolet extended warranty" into Google, and one click later....

I have a 2016 Z06/07 and purchased a GM extended warranty on delivery, as others have said give Ken a call.

Warranties

All of the above information is great, GM has a third party, administer their warranty program but it is called Chevrolet Protection Plan, Buick Protection plan, Cadillac Protection Plan or GMC Protection Plan. Anyone needing a quote you can contact me at dfichtner@dennymenholt.com and include your VIN, exact miles and date of purchase if you bought it used. I can cover Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC and if you have a non GM brand it can be covered also under the My Auto Protection plan with the same coverage as the GM plans.

January is coming to an end so get your plan bought with our discounted plans for the month of January.

I purchased an extended warranty through my credit union on one of my vehicles since they were selling it a lower price than the local dealers. When I had a major problem with the engine rings (using a quart of oil every 250 miles) the plan was out to lunch and would not cover the repair. GMPP at the time would have. Ally's renamed GMPP (they can't use the name anymore since their contract with GM ran out) might still be good but you take your chances with anything else.
