Re: Extended Warranty Contract

1stsource covers more items in some of the contracts than the manufacture contracts and you will NEVER have to pay as they give a credit card to the service shop over the phone for payment of the repair. You need only check around multiple service shops in your area to see if they are willing to call 1stsource and fax them the diagnosis. Some shops will not, others have no problems (it is more paying work for them).

The catch: They pay standard labor rates which are generally less than what a dealer charges so you likely will have to take the car to an independent shop to have 100% labor rate coverage. This can be a problem as the dealer is usually the most experienced and trained on the later model cars.

Then there is the bigger chance that the extended contract company for one reason or another will go bankrupt during the term of your contract. A very big problem and possibility. A concern you likely will not have to worry about if you buy the GM contract.

Dealers do have big profit in the contracts and you could get them to discount it some in order for you to buy it.

It is your money, you take your chances. David
