I looked into it a few months ago as well. Not this particular company but several others. Check to see if they are listed within the BB and what their rating is. Also google their name and look for complaints. Most of them are scams or rather they have selective payout. Obviously they are there to make money and not to lose... Maybe another place to check is with your finance co, or bank. sometimes better warranty companies are located through them... I'm just gonna pass on one. I have access to parts at cost and no of a great indy shop along with many personal friends that could fix it if I can't.

I deal with easycare everyday at my dealer. All their plans are a joke except for the most expensive one which covers everything but a rip off in price. They are also very difficult to convince and they will ask the advisors a million question regarding the complaint and you have to be careful how you word it. They are not idiots. Personally i would not spend the money on an extended warranty especially them.

FYI. Now that they have your number they will keep calling you and if you ignore them for a week or two and then pick up the price will be much lower. They say its the managers special. Its a selling tacktict because there are ppl who will actually pay the quote on the first call.
