Drive train failures, tire failures. Warranty vs None
Often the question is asked IF I should purchase a warranty. The usual responses appear, many just based on personal preference "piece of mind"
both for and against.
What tells the story is real life experiences. Sure, a warranty will replace an engine or transmission (they claim, sort of) but how often does that occur.
Tire warranties.Have you stopped to figure out your out of pocket vs a tire being replaced by warranty?
I purchased 30 tires over the past few years and declined hazard insurance each time.(yes 2 cars , 2 trucks a Jeep and the RV) Road hazard cost varies but I averaged it out to be around 20 a tire, some more some less.
In that time (so far) I have had 2 tire failures. One was worn pretty low so that would not qualify the other one a blowout that would have. So with no warranty I declined 600 in fees. The blowout tire cost 215 to replace, the jeep 40 dollars as it was a take off and my jeep was for sale. I spent 255 dollars ,I am 345 ahead.
Warranties and drive trains. what are some of the repairs done on these Ford engines and Gm engines. Friends of mine who have 300K and 450K reported water pumps and engine coils. Have you experienced an issue that a warranty would have paid for the repair. A poster reported out of pocket 700 dollars for a fuel pump replacement and a warranty was involved. Having wrenched on anything with a steering wheel as a career i question that cost.
