Good luck getting the extended warranty to pay for anything. Pretty much everytime a car comes in our shop with the extended warranty, it almost always gets fixed by the customers own money. Really gotta stay up on maint. to keep any signs of neglect null and void.
I had a car come in not long ago with an extended warranty and a blown head gasket. After the warranty company inspector came out to check out the vehicle, he declined the repair due to "seepage from radiator".... what a load of shit.
Nobody benefits from that junk except the finance manage from the car lot that sells it
