Anyone know of a dealer selling factory warranties at a discounted price? 

The experience I’ve had with extended warranty is the best time is during the buying process. I bought a vehicle during retirement with the idea I wouldn’t drive that many miles. I passed on the extended warranty. Then I decided to give Uber a run for something to do. Next thing I new I’m nearing the end of the warranty. The dealer I bought the vehicle from plus several more over the years basically said bend over. No deal. At the end of the warranty I traded for a different brand.

In my experience (b/c I bought one), the best two to choose from are:

 

 

http://www.gmoutlet.com and https://www.knappvehicleservicecontracts.com

 

I purchased mine from Knapp earlier this year and have no regrets.  They have numerous different plans depending on what "you" want as for how many months and milage and deductible.

 

P.S.  If you're already out of factory warranty be prepared to pay a lot.

Do a Google search and it should pop up. The Corvette forum and the other Truck forum both had a list of GM Dealers who offered a great price. Good luck with your search.

Go with a gmpp plan if you don't want to hassle or find repair places that can stomach said aftermarket warranty company. As was said good luck on cost if you choose to not wrap it into the price of the car when purchasing. The 2 extended gmpp plat plans i bought were at sale time and paid 1,800 for my 05 silvy and almost 2k for my 14. Both paid for themselves and both of my trucks have been relatively problem free. Get a single a/c issue and one fix pays for said warranty.

 

Especially with today's sensor ridden and tech loaded trucks. Imo your a bonehead if you have a 55-70k truck that you are not leasing and want to own with a standard 35k warranty, good luck to those people!

Did some shopping back in May with few of the popular dealers for selling contracts online. I got best offer from Todd Sutherland at MacMulkin Chevrolet. Bought 8yrs/80k plan.

Be careful to make sure it's GMPP.  When I bought my 2018 Denali I didn't realize the lady who did the financing paperwork had sold me a " Tricor " Extended Warranty.  According to her that's what majority of her customers go with.  I never really used it, and I sold the truck after only two years got back almost all my money.  Warranty was around $2,500 or so, got back $2,100.

Other than that I can't complain.  But not sure if dealers will discount them, that's a cash cow for them.  Don't believe the " unfortunately it's a set price " crap.  Anything is negotiable.

 

Good luck

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
