Ok so I see a lot of posts asking about 3rd party warrantis and if they are worth buying or if they even work. So I figured I’d chronicle my experience for you all.
First the back story. In may of 2016 I bought a rental spec 2009 mocha bronze Chevy Buffalo.. I mean Impala. The Buick dealer I bought from offered an aftermarket warranty form “The mechanic” in various levels and time/milage combination. I settled for “silver” with a 36month or 36000 miles coverage window. It cost me $1800 plus tax.
Any ways today I had the tire noise I previously posted in regards too investigated. Turns out I was right its the front wheel bearing. Before I decided to go a head and call my mechanic I wanted to review the policy and I couldn’t be happier that it covers just that.
So now tomorrow I get to call my mechanic and make my first warranty claim! I couldnt be more excited and I will keep you all posted.

Brand new ‘87 300D - bit, and bought a $1600 extended warranty. Got within $200 of paying for itself before the warranty company went bankrupt.

Bought the highest warranty available for my Legacy GT. At $2500, it was a bargain. The warranty claims were easily around $4000. This includes valve cover gaskets, wheel bearings, steering rack, HVAC repair, the list goes on and on.

Mine cost about that much in ‘01 but had a $50 or $100 deductible. I got my money’s worth.

I shoulda got one for the Allroad. It probably would have cost more than the car and paid for itself 10x

See thats the thing I b9ught this too see how they work. If it goes well I’d be more inclined to buy more adventurous cars with one.
