In my case I got a list of what's covered in hard print. IMO, this things are different between manufacturers.

Let me get this right. You prepaid almost $1,700 for 30,000 miles of recommended services between 65k miles and 95k miles?

Have you even looked to see what services are recommended between 65k miles and 95k miles? Have you tried to put a dollar figure on those services?

I bet that salesman was nervous as a cheap hooker on the front row in church until you signed those papers and drove off the lot. Now he is laughing his *** off.

I can still cancel the prepaid maintance program at 100%. I rather get the car serviced at the delarship but the more I read on here it seems like the service is not worth it. At the same time I don't want to be going in for the recommended service and end up paying more. Ya feel?

I am definitely the wrong person to ask about the prepaid maintenance. Again, another reason I went with the GS is because I enjoy doing as much DIY as I can which the GS allows. Personally, I'd never pay 1700 bucks for oil changes, spark plugs and cabin air filters. Again, I enjoy doing the work and the satisfaction of knowing it was done right so I would never of done it in the first place.

You can always decline services if you think they are not needed. You don't have to do everything they say you have to do.

If you are going to buy an extended warranty, make sure that you buy it from the brand of your vehicle - a brand-name extended service contract. So if you're buying a Ford, get a Ford contract. If it's a Toyota, buy the Toyota contract. If it's a Lexus, buy the Lexus contract. The opposite is also true. Never (EVER) buy the extended service contract that's generically offered through the dealer, but isn't backed by the brand of vehicle they sell. When buying a vehicle from a non-dealer the extended warranty offered will likely not be from the brand of the vehicle.

Why should you make sure you buy it from the brand of your vehicle?

Because the people who fulfill the generic contracts are paid by how little service they have to do. They fight the dealer on every penny. They'll want to see the entire labor record on the car. They won't want to pay for parts. They'll fight on the cost of the labor. They'll reject repair for things. In the end, the customer is going to have to eat some of that cost or pay for things they refuse to cover, even though the contract supposedly covers the vehicle.

I would cancel it, save yourself $1700.

Well said! Aftermarket warranties are a total scam.
