Toyota does not offer a money back guarantee on the ExtraCare plans. So any dealer offering that option, is either selling a 3rd party warranty altogether, or else they're packaging a separate 3rd party insurance policy together with the Toyota warranty to provide it.

I actually looked into offering this as an option a few years back, and I was unable to find a credible insurance company with that type of coverage. Certainly none that I wanted to associate my name with. If there's one out there that's worth the premium, I'd love to see the contract.

I'm new to the fourm, and I'm considering purchasing this coverage to replace the one I bought through Toyota. Has anyone had to use this warrantyshack coverage? Feedback?
Thanks!

Hi,
Is a pre-paid maintenance service still offered by Prius Chat? I just signed to lease a 2010 and they quoted me $1495 for this. Can I do better? Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, the current cost for the Toyota AutoCare Premium, 4 yr / 55,000 miles is $875.00 through PriusChat. For the purchase info, please email us at Warranty@PriusChat.com or fill out the quote request at WarrantyShack.com so that PriusChat gets credit.

Thanks,

Troy

The prices DANNY quotes here are very average.

Many Toyota dealerships are pricing warranties very aggressively these days. The internet is a wonderful tool! Just negotiate as you would a vehicle.

I don't understand the above post. I thought that the $1055 price through Warrantyshack was for a Toyota Platinum Warranty. It isn't?

Can someone explain to me?

Thanks,

Rich N.

It is. The above poster is mis-informed...and he is most likely an employee of another Toyota dealership. The fact that he mentions the advertising covenant in his post is a big clue, since no one else would have any idea what that is.

"Toyotaguyofboston" is trolling for Acton Toyota:

And judging from his thrash talking post in this thread, he's also a jerk. Not a person I'd do business with.

My Toyota platinum warranty purchased through Troy at Greenfield Toyota came in the mail today. I bought it for my 2007 Prius that now has 35,500 on it. It's a win/win situation. I'm happy if i never need to use the warranty, and i'm happy if i do have to use it, being covered for stuff. Just want to say that buying the warranty from Troy was smooth, fast, friendly and easy, good price, great car, great warranty. Thanks Troy and PriusChat.

I would like to get some clarification on the extended warranty before buying it.

If I get a 7yr/100000 $0 deductible it is $1055 on a new car from warrantyshack.com (dealer has offered it at $1200). If it is brought closer to the end of the 3 year warranty how much will the cost be? What are the recommendations?

Also in the maintenance plan ($875 for 4yr/55,000 mile from warrantyshack.com - as opposed to $1495 (non-negotiated price) from the dealer), what would be the cost after the first 5k service. Also wanted to know how much saving is it to buy this service plan.

Wanted to know the answers before making a purchase.
