Extended car warranty - Page 4

Never buy them and I'll add to that - I've always refused to get any repairs done at car dealerships and a recent experience reinforced that .

My RAV-4 had 5 years of free state inspections and 5 years free tire rotation and oil changes. At my last free oil change they said I needed new brakes and they'd have time to do them while I waited. I declined - my Virginia yearly state inspection was the following month and figured it'd fail - it passed. When inspector handed me my keys I told him what dealer said. He said brake shoes and rotor still meet the specs for passing but would prob not pass next year. Said prob about 10-11 months from now I should be looking for brake specials and get it done before next inspection. Sorry Toyota - that dishonesty lost you any possible chance I'd ever use your services - and just one of the reasons dealerships get a bad reputation.

@Financialgrl WOW! Makes me glad I'm a FORD gal. They have always treated me good. They even washed my old car after every repair & now wash my new FORD after a "service" call!

In N.J. State inspections are FREE & every 2 yrs.

Those are scam calls. I get them on my cell phone 5 or 6 times a week.

@chrystaltree I agree. I get them for cars I don't own anymore and haven't for years. My husband used to work at a dealership. Sales... and believe me they make a lot of money on those warranties.
