Extended Warrenties

Has anyone had a problem getting repairs and service on the extended warrenties offerred by some of the major yards?

Much was made of the fact that we were getting the extra 12 months coverage at the time of purchase but little of the requirements re service.

Air Con has gone U/S so contacted dealer. Van is 18 months old Ring the insurance number. No will not cover because the van was not serviced by an approved service facility inside the first twelve months. Would the service have looked at the appliances? No. Van only with emphasis on running gear. Well then it seems we should have had the Air Con serviced by an approved A/c dealer. Is there a requirement for service by the manufacturer of the A/c? No. Just clean the fliters. So because we were on the road about the end of the 12 month period and had no problems we did not get the van serviced and therefore they walk away from everything.
Off the record I have been told that this is quite the common result and unless you have written confirmation that you have complied with every crossed T and dotted I of the contract you will get nothing.

So if you are taking the extended coverage. TAKE CARE and ensure that you read and comply with the details.
