      I bought the Elite Plan for my ***************** and a year later, in 2023, the common problem of leaking radiator showed up. My dealer knew the company, got the pre-authorization and except for the deductible, they paid for the repair and helped to pay for the rental car.It was an easy experience and Im glad to get the newly engineered part that fixed the issue. I was hesitant about buying a third party warranty over the factory one, but so far, this one worked well. I suspect that if a dealer sells a high volume of warranties they may want to keep them happy.
