Well, I dunno about that . . . regular "preventative" maintenance would be better start than "waiting" for something to happen . . . oil/filter changes regularly, flush & fill cooling system, brake system, checking battery, etc . . . cheaper in long wrong than spending $$$ on aftermarket "warranty" . . .

Just my 2cents . . .

Cheers

Mark

Car Shield’s advertising budget on radio must be very large.

The very high advertising as a percent of sales reminds me of Prevagen -

I would swear that the majority of those extended warranty companies are foreign companies. I watch and try to find actual American cars or America license plates and never see any?????? Same with a lot of med commercials. Mods you can wipe this out and off, just venting.

I don't have any faith in aftermarket warranties. I just thought the commercial was a cool and unique way to go about the advertising.

The post was not in any way an attempt to recommend this or any other warranty company. rolleyes

One of my least favorite commercials. I can't mute or change channel fast enough. Same goes for the Jardiance commercials.


Facts are stubborn things.

That is the exact OPPOSITE of a “car guy’s” commercial! Jeeez.

No sense of humor? Sorry to have exposed that.

To some, that commercial was a funny and original way to get the point across. But humor, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Jardiance commercials are annoying to me. This one is fine.

Most of those don't cover 20+ year old 200K mile+ vehicles so it wouldn't work for me!

Same goes for the Jardiance commercials.

A fat chick dancing around singing about a drug, What where they thinking?! This is more annoying than the insurance commercials!

I agree with the Jardiance commercial being the most annoying ad on tv right now but diabetes and obesity often go together.

If you are selling a diabetes drug I kinda see why they did it but oily cow that commercial is beyond annoying.

Its the only commercial I mute or change the station when it comes on. I can't do it fast enough.

As for the OP it is the better of their commercials but when you spend as much as they do on advertising do they have any money left over to pay claims?

I only get extended warranties from a reputable dealer when I buy a car. At least then I have someone to complain to face to face if I get ripped. Not that it does much good. Lol
