I figure it this way. They're in the business to make money and lots of it, not to be "good guys" and help you out however they can. My guess is the small print basically says nothing is really covered. BUT, I could be wrong (have been many times)

Of course a scam and a fifth. What kills me is watch the advert CAREFULLY. "The man on the left needs a new ECM ... the Man on the right Also needs a new ECM. .. Both have the same cars but the man on the left paid absolutly nothing for the repair the guy on the right spent $2400.00"


What they do NOT tell you is the $200.00 a month the left hand guy has spent for the last 2 years for his policy. Truth be told he spent 4 grand on that ecm It's a numbers game by simple minded "look at this" marketing.

I was just thinking if I got it and then my Trans went south a month later, walla I could get a new trans. That was really only reason I was wondering about it.

Ive seen the commercials but I have a bad taste in my mouth after the 3rd call in a month at about 2:30-3:00 am telling me my warrenty is about to run out. Well the last time i checked i payed for the extended warrenty 100,000 miles and 25,000 miles is a long way away and im also on the DO NOT CALL LIST.
