Default From what I've seen, the only good ones are the ones that have not been exposed as scams, yet.

Truth is, most are not scams. There are, however, issues that you need to consider. You often get less coverage (e.g. limits on diagnostic work and hourly limits on tasks), and some techs do not like collecting from the warranty company.

I'm living warranty free in the hope that my car has a better-than-average repair future.

Default Western National is one of the best, CNA underwrites.

They are only sold through car dealers. Western National covers wear and tear items, which very few do, and they match the OEM programs almost line for line (in some cases even better coverage.) Not sure how easy it would be to get one unless your dealer sells Western.

Default WarrantyDirect has saved us big time on our A4 1.8T...

Works as intended... browse the Warranty section for links.

Default Re: Western National is one of the best, CNA underwrites.

saw your post on Western National extended warranties. Can you give me some contact information for them? I can't find any extended warranty information on their web site. I am interested in purcahsing an extended warranty.
