I bought a new 2022 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton with 6.2L and 10 speed in January 2022. Factory warranty of 3yrs/36k bumper to bumper, 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. I am at 35k now, with no problems. I contacted the dealer today about getting an extended warranty. I can get 4yrs/100k miles for 3500, or 5 years 125k for $4050. I plan on keeping the truck for a while because I like it and to get the same truck today is at least 10% increase from what I bought it for 2 years ago. Have about $28k in positive equity in it. I am ok with the powertrain warrant for now, but all the electronics in this thing scare me. Anything goes wrong its going to be a couple of thousand, motor or trans issues and it would be well worth it. What does the Aldeer experts say, other than buy a Toyota?

I hope it lasts. Ain't no way I'd buy anything Chevy or GM with all the transmission problems they've
had the past few years.

I mean you should be getting about 13 car warranty calls a day, pick one and give them your credit card info

I would shop around. Those prices sound high

Shop it, BIG markups from dealers and it is the same or better. Do not buy thru dealers

The math says plus or minus .003 cents per mile advantage IF you choose the additional mileage option.

3,500/100,000 = $.035 per mile for the warranty
4,050/125,000 = $.032 per mile for the warranty

I would guess - the extended warranty is TOTAL miles, not in addition to the original warranty. I typically don't buy any extended warranties - in some cases I've won in other cases I've lost.

Check out these guys. I have not bought anything from them just watch some of their videos on youtube.

Look under the protection plans drop down.

Yeah you know i got the Wife a 2 year old or so gmc acadia a few year ago, and the guy tried offering me life time bumper to bumper for just a little bit extra. You know it sounds good, but me and the Wife says so hmmmm what's the actual cost on that? It was like 6,300 or so, and we said noooooo nooo we'll pass! Well he kept on saying well i can do dis i can do that, and came down to 2,300!!!! And i was like you know, you're purty damn sorry sob, you could've offer me that and i probably would a bite the hook 🤬

They advertise on television all the time but investigate as you’re basically buying insurance. Car shield and similar are all sold by licensed insurance agents because it’s insurance. I don’t sell them and if buying I would not buy from the dealer. Read the exclusions and details before buying.

I never buy extended warranties

The last 2 trucks I have bought new in 2012 and 2019- GMC Sierra’s. If my memory is correct .I think I paid around $2,500 or so for a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. Anything goes wrong on it is on $100 fee. I like the security of being covered and only have if to pay a minimal repair bill.

Yeah I haven’t seen any of the fine details. Just thought I’d look into it. One of my employees had a 2015 2500 that she bought it for. Had the 6 speed and its associated issues. She traded it in and they apparently gave her back a proration on time remaining on the warranty. I just don’t want to buy a new truck when the time comes and don’t want to have a late model truck out of warranty these days. If I recall I could have added it on when I bought it for a good bit less. Double edged sword. Pay for new cars and warranty or be ready to fix one.

Before you buy one, make sure to check and see if you can find a shop that will take it. Most aftermarket warranties are a pain to deal with. A lot of shops quit taking them.

I found out the hard way that technology, in vehicle WiFi in my case, is not covered under a warranty, at least not with Ford so check about the electronics you speak of.

I’ve always been under the no buying extended warranty’s. But the truck I’m driving now has to 110,000 miles bumper to bumper. Even in appliances I go with a cheaper version and buy the 3 year extended warranty.

The extended warranty is a good move for a GM vehicle these days. Those 10 speeds are going to have transmission problems at some point. You may get 75k or 100k before it happens but it will happen. Since you don't have the AFM (that shifts from 8 to 4 cylinders) you won't have the lifter issues that those motors are having.

My 2017 with 86,000 miles is in the shop for the 3rd time with lifter issues. It has been there for 2 months as they could not find the needed part (VLOM) because they have been in so high demand and on back order. I love a GM truck but the reliability is not what it was 10 years ago.

This

My 2020 Custom 2500 gas - currently at the shop for new transmission. 84k miles. Torque converter. Based off the warranties and average miles per year, I guess chev has only about 70-80k mileage confidence in their shucks



No more Chevy POS for me

Never ever ever ever consider wasting your money on a carshield product.

As far as extended factory warranty. The GF bought one for her 2017 Nissan when factory one was about to expire. About a year later she has some issues and takes it into dealer. Took it into dealer and they called couple days later told her what problem was. She said that should be covered under extended warranty.
They basicallly told her if she did not have records of every service listed in her owners manual that the warranty was voided.
None of this was explained when the extended policy was offered.
She had had everything done according to the manual except, the brake fluid was supposed to have been flushed and changed. She did not have that done so even though her problem was engine related, the brake fluid change cancelled out the warranty.
There was no refund if she cancelled it.
This was Nissan, others may be different.
