Extended Vehicle Protection

So is there a LEGIT aftermarket warranty out there? I am thinking the same thing as I just passed the halfway mileage mark on my warranty.

Most of them are outright scams, usually changing the company name every few years to avoid their reputation. This one doesn't seem too bad, here's the report:

Yeah I have read that most of them are ripoffs but I figured that since it is through USAA then it is a good deal. So I am thinking of just canceling it. What would you recommend? just pay for repairs as I go?

Other companies are far worse, yours seems ok. You also have to take into consideration that only the complaints are posted here, no one tells you about the success stories (use the frequency of complaints as a guide). Usually the bigger the payout the more you are going to have to fight to get your repair covered.

true, it is hard to find success stories. I guess I will give it a shot. I figured since USAA is doing business with them it has to be good. If not, then they'll have a bad name.

They said that I have the freedom of using any shop. I guess i'll call them for any issues and get their guidance.

I called my local mazda dealership and was quoted for $1500 same term compared to my current one at $1170. Mazda will charge $100 deductable per visit compared to $0 with the other.

Do you have any extended warranty?

The USAA name gives it some credence, just read the fine print and make sure everything is covered that you need to be covered.

I avoid the extended warranties myself as I'm able to do most of my own repairs.
