Imported from US and want to buy aftermarket warranty - What do you recommend?

[c3uo]

Hi,

I imported a new car from the US that has no valid manufacturer's warranty in Canada. The vehicle is loaded (c/w Nav and power everything), so I would like to buy a 3 or 4 year warranty in Canada.

What companies do you recommend? Some aftermarket warranties cover major components only (I'm not too concerned about the engine or transmision), some specify very rigorous maintenance that you must get done at a mechanic (3 month oil changes and I'm a DIY guy that would rather follow the manufacturer's recommendation), and many will not cover US imported "grey market" vehicles.

So - what companies have you all gone with for an aftermarket warranty? I am in small town Canada, so an internet direct provider is preferred with reasonable pricing.

Thanks!

I would go to a dealer for your brand and ask them which ones they have the least trouble with.
Yes, some of the requirements to maintain warranty coverage seems excessive but these guys are not in it for you but that is the price. Besides, all the money you saved should offset any repairs that may be required.

Every expert opinion on them say you're likely to spend less by paying for repairs yourself. 3rd party has a rough idea of how much claims will likely cost them & there's enough fine print to safeguard the 3rd party.

None. Go it alone.
