He told me I was getting the warranty at "employee pricing" right. If that's the case, I don't see much benefit from working at GM. BTW I'm not a GM employee

also, Im not sure I can cancel the gap ins. not sure if I want to. But I will be getting out of the GM warranty, unless they would like to pay me the difference to keep it. Doubt it! The coverages are identical as far as I can tell. At least Warranty Direct details what they cover or don't cover. Funny, I can't seem to find that info (detailed) in the generic paperwork GM sent me or on their web site.

 

Like I have said in several threads, the extended warranty we bought even covers the seats if my 9 year old daughter spills something and stains the seats. They replace them if they can't get the stain out. If a seagull targets my car and it burns into the paint, they repaint it. Good luck getting Warranty Direct to do that. Now I don't know if you bought the same plan I did, but no aftermarket plan is going to offer coverage that is that indepth, especially with no deductible.

I had a buddy in Nashville who owned a garage where I used to go work on my cars. I remember a kid brought a Jeep Cherokee in with a blown motor an aftermarket warranty. He thought they were going to put a new motor in his Jeep just because he blew the engine. He was shocked when a short block out of a junkyard arrived a couple of weeks later. His dad called the warranty company continuously complaining. They said that all they covered was getting the Jeep running again. Nothing more. I decided then and there that if I ever bought an extended warranty that it would be from the manufacturer.

I say go for it and cancel the warranty you bought if you think it is a good idea. Everyone should do whatever makes them happy. I'm happy with the assurance that GM will be responsible for keeping ours looking and running well.

 

All I am going to say is... I see day in and day out what having the GAP insurance can say people that finance there auto.... so for $500 is cheap insurance!

All it would take is an un-insured driver to not stop at a light hit you in the back quarter panel and cause your HHR to roll into a ditch... (a true story from last week) leaving you holding the keys of an insurance company totaled auto and an unpaid finance charges of $5000.00++

And that $500.. would of paid off the auto...

As stated before the GM warranty can be used at any GM dealer while the 3rd party warranties 90% of them the repair has to be done at the selling dealer or pre-approved repair shops.... While the GM warranty can be done at any GMC Line dealer and approved 3rd party repair shops as there are a number of non-dealer shops that are GMC approved...

And if you cancel either GAP (which you can do) or exteneded warranty don't expect the funds to go to your pocket as they have to go to pay down the loan first.

 

Not true, you can cancel the warranty and the gap , and you will get the money, in which I have done this, BUT I suggest that you don't cancel the GAP.

 

i have it, 6yrs/60000 miles and i think it was $1000.

 

I guess that would depend on the sate and financing company.. but most finance companies require that the funds go to pay down the loan...

Can I buy the extended warranty after I have already purchased my HHR? And if I can how do I go about doing it?

 

yes but it will be more money.

 

Songman - where do you find this information. I'm not aware of any warranty covering the seats/paint.
