An extended car warranty is protection from the vehicle manufacturer against mechanical breakdowns. This term is sometimes incorrectly used to describe coverage from third-party providers, which offer similar protection plans called vehicle service contracts. CARCHEX is a vehicle service contract provider.

Great Prices and Great Service

Many drivers purchase their plans from their car dealership. Don’t make this mistake. Car dealerships often:

• Provide fewer plan options
• Include high markups
• Haggle over every last penny
• Apply lots of pressure
• Limit your choice of mechanic and replacement part options

CARCHEX offers a better customer experience and a more competitive price on its vehicle protection plans. We leverage our immense buying power to bring you the most affordable, comprehensive protection plans on the market. This equals great savings for our customers.

Customer Service

Our promise to you is “Customer Experience Above All.”  We are proud to maintain a 99.9% customer satisfaction rating. CARCHEX has also earned an A+ rating and accreditation with the Better Business Bureau.

Are you one of the 63% of Americans who cannot pay for a $500 car repair? You’ve likely learned that $500 can add up fast at the auto mechanic — parts and labor can easily cost more than that. An extended vehicle protection plan from CARCHEX can save you from hefty unexpected bills at your car repair facility.

• If you have a used or certified pre-owned vehicle, do you have any protection against a surprise repair bill?
  • • The longer that your used car has been on the road, the more you’ll need to prepare for the cost of unexpected repairs.
• If you bought a new car at the dealership, you may have a factory warranty covering your car. While factory coverage many seem adequate, review the fine print on your plan to understand exactly what repairs are covered — and more importantly, which repairs are not included.
  • • Also remember that after your factory warranty expires, you’ll be on the hook for all repairs to your vehicle.

Be prepared for surprise, expensive car repairs. A vehicle service contract from CARCHEX will give you peace of mind that you’ll be back on the road in no time.

CARCHEX coverage is not simply about the protection from paying for expensive car repairs. Here are some additional benefits to purchasing a vehicle service contract from CARCHEX:

• Resale Value. A vehicle protection plan will usually increase your car’s resale value. That means more money in your wallet when you sell your car.
• Support at the Repair Shop. With a CARCHEX plan, you’ll know that you’re not alone at the auto mechanic. CARCHEX provides customer support in dealing with car repair facilities, so you can rest assured that you’re getting a fair deal from your mechanic.
• Extra Benefits. With a CARCHEX plan, you’ll get additional benefits such as fully transferable contract terms, vehicle history reports, free road service, and trip interruption protection.
