Since I didn't buy my car from a Jag dealer, I can't buy a warranty from Jag.

So...I need a 3rd Party warranty. Anyone have any suggestions as to who to check or who to stay away from?

 

There are quite a few out there...I don't have one for the jag so I couldn't steer you in that direction. Just be careful and do tons of investigating. Search BBB (better business bureau) and see if there is any dirt anywhere for the perspective company.

Watch for what their practices are as far as paying out for repairs. Some places have a maximum they will pay out per hour of work so you need to check that. Jag charges over 100 an hour so be careful my father in law has one that will only pay out 30/hour for his dodge and they have a max they will pay on the parts as well.

 

I'm going to blog my experiences with 3rd Party Warrenty companies, in case someone ever needs them.

First call from Company "A" tonight. Sales rap went from friendly to hard core in 10 minutes. $395 for contract to be sent. Refundable in 30 days if not happy. Wants me to get contract first and then show the dealer or mechanic. Must enroll tonight or window is forever closed. I bet they call again. Bye bye Company "A".

 

Was that company Contental Warranty? I got suckered in and put down the down payment. This was my first time and i wanted to know if these guys are a good warranty company or not.

 

PM on the way. And after "Company A" told me Monday night, I either have to sign up now or the "window will close", they have called me twice a day since then and will not take no for an answer.

"Company B" called ...with a pretty good deal, and has allowed me "three or four days" to talk to my dealer and my local mechanic. They have made good on it as well. Very impressed.

"Company C" calls everyday, lowering the price, on a warranty is very particular on what they define as "wear & tear".

I'm going to make a decision by this weekend.

 

You might check with a dealer on that - If your car has some factory warranty left, you might still be able to get an extended one through Jag.

What was company B? They seem like a good company.

 

AA Auto Warranty

 

Jamey did you ever try contacting jaguar if it's still under warranty to buy extended through them? Which one is company a and c?

 

I did. I found two things out:

1. You must a warranty from a dealer. Jaguar will not sell them outside of the dealer.

2. I didn't buy my Jag from a Jag dealer, so the dealer couldn't sell me one.

So, my next Jag...new or used...will come from a Jag dealer. We don't have one here...but it's worth going to get.

 

What companies were a and c?

Is the car still under warranty? If so there have been a few people that have not bought the jag from the dealer but have still purchased SE through jaguar.
