CARCHEX Car Warranty review
Mu husband is a master senior tech but we purchased a plan for our daughters car when she graduated college because she potentially would move farther away. The plan paid for itself! We have not had to fight for any repairs. Handled very professionally. Looking to buy another plan as I write this.

I have not reached the waiting period of 1000 miles but why do I have to make monthly payments?

CARCHEX Car Warranty review
I had the opportunity to work with this organization to provide an extended warranty for my vehicle. The agent was very customer focused and knowledgeable about their programs. He validated what state I live in and noted that I work as a contractor who travels. The program that he presented was a great fit for my vehicle's age and condition. The pricing was also affordable.
