My simple warranty philosophy - If the odds weren’t in their favor, they wouldn’t offer it.

best warranty . Put $500 a year on the side and don’t touch it. By the time something break use that money. Now you are the warranty company

I was a proud mechanic and did great work for over 35 yrs. Decided to stop working so hard before I wore out my body. Took a job for an extended warranty company. Talking to service advisors, customers, field inspectors. Looking up levels of coverage for all. It made me sick seeing how people thought they were covered “bumper to bumper”. Company manager approached me at 90 day probation period saying, congratulations! You’re doing great and past the probation period. I said thanks but you didn’t pass mine. And I walked off the job. Their jaws dropped. 😁

I bought a 2023 RAV4 Hybrid Limited. When I got in the finance office he started telling me horror stories about expensive electronics failing and how much repair cost. He talked me into a 10Year warranty. When I got home I did a search on the company and only found two negative comments on the BBB website. There was nothing else about the company on the internet. It was like they scraped the internet getting rid of any reviews or information. I was afraid the company might not even be around in 10 years. I went in the next day and canceled it. The main reason I bought a Toyota was for it's reliability. I may reconsider before the factory warranty runs out because of all the fancy features of the limited. Why the industry makes the buying process so unpleasant and there is no honesty or integrity. I dislike going to dealerships for that reason.

I bought an extended because I was afraid that the convertible top might break on my IS350C. However, the deal maker for me was that it was 100% refundable, if the extended warranty is never used. The catch was the customer had to request in writing the refund within 60 days prior to the end of the warranty. The company that provided the warranty most likely believe people will forget about the refund or assume the refund is automatic. There was only one problem during the extended period, the side view mirror. However it was a easy DIY fix so I never used the warranty. In the end I got my refund. Reading is fundamental.

Obviously from watching your channel, AMD, you're a great mechanic - but you're an even better person for sharing the info in this video. Very honest and helpful! Wish you worked at my local Toyota dealership! 👍

Bought a 2017 Tacoma. Refused the extended warranty. At 38k my power steering rack had a bad leak. Was quoted $3,700 for the repair. My dealer went to bat for me with Toyota to try to get the repair covered, since it was a premature wear. Toyota didn’t cover it, but my dealer actually paid for it. But I wish I would have gotten the extended warranty. But thankful for a good dealership though!

I was a automobile service advisor for 15 years and had to deal with several service contract companies and you are spot on. They are very hard to deal with. It seems that their first priority is to find an escape clause, not to serve their customer. I believe that if you MUST have a service contract, buy the vehicle manufacturer's extended service policy. My personal advise to prospective service contract buyers is to take your monthly service contract cost ($150?) and place that amount is a separate bank savings account to draw from in the event that a vehicle repair is needed. If a repair is not needed you have a nice nest egg.

When I purchased my wife’s Highlander, Finance manager asked if I wanted extended warranty. My words to him were....”No thanks, that’s why I’m buying a Toyota, plus the money I save from not buying an extended warranty I will put it aside and use it for oil changes and regular maintenance” He looked at me and told me no one has ever put it to him that way. 9 years later car is still running great with basic maintenance.

Andy, I’m an engineer, I don’t buy warranties, period. I’ve been driving cars since 1965. I have purchased many new cars. I don’t buy cars for less than 6 years (except 1971 Vega, 1980 Citation, & 1985 Eurosport wagon......GM drove me to.....drink.....no to change). Since I changed to Honda, 1995, my car year length has increased to 10+ years (150,000 + miles). I purchased my first Toyota (RAV4 in 2017, FWD, I live in Chicago, wife’s car) and it has 50k and is running flawlessly! I drive a 2009 CRV, 120k, couple of problems (brakes, ground) ......annoying but minor. The Honda dealer offered me an extended warranty for my wife’s 2006 Accord when it was new, 100k, 4 years, for $1700, supposedly a Honda warranty. In 4 years my wife won’t exceed 60k miles, and that was the regular 3 year(60k miles) warranty. The salesman said if I didn’t use the warranty, they would return my money. I never asked the salesman, what hoops would I need to jump thru to get my money back. I didn’t purchase this useless warranty. The first repair on the Accord was at 170,000 miles, the starter needed replacing. The aftermarket new starter cost $85, installation was $100. Thanks for this great video....hopefully you have taken the blinders off the sheep’s EYES! Jim

I always buy new cars and I've never bought an extended warranty on anything in my life. Just a waste of money in my opinion. Love your channel btw. God bless you and your family. 🙏

Went back to Toyota dealer today to cancel my extended warranty. Bought a 2021 highlander and they tried charging me $2700 for the extended warranty and they were very pushy with it. Warranties usually cover the things that will most likely not go bad…

I had me the warranty for my 2017 camry... I never used it. It was a mistake... Toyota is the most reliable car on the planet...

I said no and just fixed it myself with everything I learned from AMD!

Finally! Someone in the auto industry who tells the truth, has [un] common sense and logical...refreshing!

Keep in mind that the Toyota extended warranties can be purchased at a later time, as long as you do it before the comprehensive warranty expires (3 years, 36K miles). Also, the price for the Toyota Extra Care extended warranties are set by the dealer, so it’s a good idea to shop around. Toyota can cover out of warranty repairs if you contact the corporate office. However, they take into consideration how far outside the component is from its respective warranty, how many Toyotas you may have owned (loyalty), and your service history with a Toyota dealer.

My dealership experience as a tech was that dealers spend the bare minimum and cut every corner possible to get the used cars through service and onto the lot for sale. I was removed from one for refusing to replace unneeded parts under extended warranty to pad the dealer's pockets and boost the service manager's numbers. Buyer beware.

AMD, this is the single most important video that you have done! Kudos to you for taking this to the task. The truth is that there are warranties (factory and Toyota Extra Care) and there are vehicle service contracts (VSCs). The factory warranty will cover parts and labor at 100% with NO deductible and use factory parts. VSCs have a long list of exclusions, can require the customer to pay a deductible and use aftermarket, rebuilt or even used parts. Furthermore, the VSC administrator will decide whether they will cover the cost of the repair or not. They could refuse to pay your mechanics' labor rate because they think it is too high. Here is the kicker, that VSC that is advertised on TV all the time has another gotcha - the removal, the tear-down, inspection and reporting fee. Yes, they could require this to decide if they will pay for the repair. In this removal, tear-down and inspection procedure, the owner is on the hook for this. Read the fine print! Check the BBB and other sources for VSC complaints before buying. VSCs may delay the start of your repairs while they think about whether they will be for the repair or not. VSCs are like insurance companies, you are dealing with an "adjuster" (administrator) that will decide your fate when you need a repair. If you buy a new car and the finance guy sells you a VSC, it is likely that the VSC coverage will start when you drive off the lot meaning you are paying for duplicate coverage with the factory warranty which will supersede the VSC coverage. You need to have the finance guy put in writing when that VSC period begins. Buy a Toyota or Lexus and do the required maintenance on time. My 2004 Tundra has the original brakes and clutch. The only repair that I have made was to replace the #2 O2 sensor because the heating element died. The part cost me $45.00 and 20 minutes of my time to replace it. Toyota's are bulletproof if you do the maintenance correctly and as scheduled. Save your money and take the money for the VSC and put that monthly fee in the bank for repairs. Better yet, take the money that you would sink into a VSC and use it to pay down your credit cards. AMD, thanks for discussing this misunderstood car ownership issue.

1. If you're going to do it get extra care, not another company. 2. Are you planning on holding onto your car past the powertrain warranty period? If so maintain it and do NOT use the Toyota service schedule which will tell you your transmission and differential fluid is lifetime. It also states your coolant is ok to 100K. I recommend 30-40K on automatic transmissions, coolant at 60K, Brake fluid every 2 years, Manual transmission and differentials @ 60K. Oil and filter changes at 5k with conventional and 7.5K with synthetics are ok providing you use OEM filter and check the oil in between changes at least every 1-2k. Do this and it's doubtful if you'll need to spend the money on extended warranty. BTW I am a former MDT who currently owns his shop and I have 38+ years in the business. My first Toyota certification was obtained in 1985.

I've typically done well with extended warranties. My last car had a 10 year warranty on it (5 extra years) and in the last 2 years, I had almost $6000 worth of repairs covered on it. That warranty cost about $2300. I keep my cars a long time, so I like the peace of mind. The way I look at it is, I'm prepaying for a few smaller repairs to have the cost included in my payment. Then if/when something goes wrong down the road, the cost is already covered. When I purchased my new Venza recently, I purchased a full 10 year warranty for about $2500. I know the Toyota Hybrid system is very reliable, but these cars are also VERY complex, so if anything does go wrong, it can get very expensive very quickly. I also have yet to have a AC system last longer than 8 years in any car I've had over the years so I figured at the very least, I'll get a replacement AC system out of it (which is typically $2-$3k). From my experience, things start to go on cars after about 7-8 years. I purchased a 3rd party warranty from the dealership as Toyota's ECP plan doesn't go any longer than 7 years (or 8?). I wanted something to cover me the full 10 years. The top level warranty I chose covers all the same things the factory warranty does, but doesn't come with the 3 years of free maintenance the Toyota ECP does. To me, having the few extra years of warranty is worth a lot more than a few extra oil changes (especially since my dealer gives the first couple of oil changes for free already). If you change your cars every 4-5 years, it's likely not worth it to buy an extended warranty since most things are covered during that time already. However, if you keep your cars long term (like I do), it can be a good idea.

I never buy extended warranties, but I made an exception when I purchased my 2015 BMW X1 used in 2016. I now have one year remaining on my extended warranty and when that's over I'm selling the X1. I've heard too many horror stories about older BMWs and their repair costs. The extended warranty I purchased was a BMW warranty. There is NO WAY I'd buy an extended warranty through a third party. Edit: putting that BMW up on the screen to illustrate vehicles that have continuing problems made me smile.

I have an '06 Sequoia 4x4 with almost 208k miles. Runs like new. I am my warranty !!

You are officially my favorite channel now! I love how you share your knowledge and your honesty. Thank you sir.

I am one week away from visiting dealerships and this is exactly the information I needed to make some meaningful decisions. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the different warranties.

Only buy an extended warranty if your 'Toyota' is made by Subaru, BMW/Magna Steyr or Mazda. The lifespan of my Toyota has been e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d by Krown Rustproofing and Amsoil Signature Series synthetic oil for nearly 16 years and there are no signs that warranty will be running out any time soon ;-)

Thank you AMD for the great content! I find it valuable and have watched almost every video in the past few weeks

God bless this man. This video helped me decide if I really need an extended warranty. We need more people that are as honest as you, sir. Thank you

Before I watched this video I had a lot of questions about extended auto warranties but after watching this video you've answered all the questions I needed so thank you for that. I wish that however there was more information in the KZfaq World about Lexus vehicles.

Awesome video AMD! If I had a mechanic as good as you around my town, I will not be buying extended warranty and just rely on the mechanic and pay out of pocket for repairs. The magic bullet is to find a mechanic as good as you.

With the extended warranties a lot of people don't realize that they can actually get reimbursed for their warranties and they can get a check in the mail which is what I got when I recently traded my 18 Camry for a 22 xse. 2 weeks later I received a check in the mail for my warranty which I never really had to use so people need to keep this in mind...

You are a godsend man. This is by far the best KZfaq channel I have ever watched and subscribed to. Thanx again for all your brilliant and honest tutorials 🙏

I wish all technicians are like you who are truthful and honest! Especially when working on a customer's vehicle!

I think some people have issues with extended warranties at purchase because they never factor in the potential $2000 extra the warranty could add to their purchase when they're already at their max purchase price or they may have experienced a year or two of maintenance issues after a used car purchase of things the warranty doesn't cover anyway. Not to mention some warranties are only for a set time after purchase. If I buy a 3 year warranty and nothing ever happens until year 4 when my engine or transmission goes up then I'm up a creek anyway. It's a roll of the dice. I say if you're going to warranty the car the put that price on the sticker. Don't shock me when I get to the finance office. My two cents.

Thanks for educating consumers it's rare to hear someone tell the truth about these things I was a diesel mechanic for a long time but I'm also a NYC Firefighter i ways do my due diligence when buying a vehicle and rarely get an extended warranty because I can do almost anything that can go wrong but because i work two jobs I would sometimes buy a warranty on certain vehicles because if something catastrophic goes wrong I'd rather it be someone else spending the time to fix that my off time is way to valuable to me

Without doubt the best channel on KZfaq. Easy to understand, so smart and untypically honest. Thank You....

I just discovered your channel the other day and subscribed. You must be the most well-informed Toyota guy I've ever seen, and are you like the nicest guy ever or what?! Thank you for your excellent, detailed, straightforward, very informative videos. Toyota is lucky to have you.

this is the BEST Video i have ever seen on extended warranties.

Excellent video. I would always prefer all-inclusive extended warranty a long “not covered” list over a long list of “covered” items.

Great and informative video. Honestly makes me wish I got the warranty of my Tacoma. Though the difference between insurance and warranties is that one is required by the DMV to have.

Wished all mechanics are like you but the videos you make are all worth watching and a lot of good advises. Keep those videos coming. I also wished you were close by, could use one.

Probably one of your best videos so far...

I love this guy! No question he's the real deal and he lays it down straight. God bless you, brother!

You are the honest mechanic I’ve heard, wish every mechanic was like you

Thanks AMD for the heads up and info! Here’s another video suggestion "10 year old Paint warranty" it’s a subject that has come up many times with friends and family members that put faith it! My 2009 XRS Corolla that my friend sold me in 2015 suffered from a little rust but caught it in time to slow it down by applying rust proofing! He really thinks it legit and I told him that a renowned local paint shop said it’s all a scam and has proof of a 2-3 year old fender with rust underside of it!

May the Lord bless you dear brother for sharing this gem!

So much honesty here! Appreciate this video. In April 2019 i bought my 2013 ES350 with only 30,009 miles on it from a non-Lexus dealership. THe original owner traded it in along with a high mileage BMW. Since i financed it, i decided to get a 4 year 48k miles extended warranty. I did it for piece of mind, yes it’s similar to car insurance. It’s for a “just in case” situation. Although these Lexus ES350’s are virtually bullet proof, you just never know. In hindsight now after owning this for almost 2 years, i wouldn’t get the extended warranty if i had to buy a similar ES350 today. at that time i lumped the warranty into the car finance so it wasn’t a big upfront cost.

I am soooo thankful I found your videos!! We are researching Toyota avalon hybrid to purchase.

Great video overall. My brother bought his Toyota and purchased extended warranty, not too sure what company he went with. I do know they sent someone out to inspect the car and authorize if it could have the warranty in effect, great policy too if I recall it was 125,000 miles or 7 years from the date of manufacture and covered most of the things mentioned in the video that are important to have.

Thank you so much great video I did get the extended warranty from the dealership but later found out it wasn’t through Toyota and I was not happy!

Thanks for your channel and advice. What I did not realize when I bought a 5 year warranty in 2015 for a used 6 cylinder 2012 XLE Camry were the years covered. In mid 2017 I needed some work done which would have been covered under the warranty. However, the warranted years started coverage when the car was made in 2012 not when I purchased it in 2015. So my warranty had expired in January the month I had purchased it. This was Toyota’s warranty. No one explained that to me when I purchased the warranty. It was probably in the fine print that I did not see before purchasing the warranty. Lesson learned. 🙁

Thanks AMD for the honest truth so the consumer can make the best choice for themselves!!! You the man!!! Keep up the good work

Thank you for helping the consumer and being a honest mechanic. Scotty and you are good people

Priceless info CCN, a lot of this I didn’t take into consideration. Thanks bro. much blessings much love

OMG AMD, this is some great information for average joe’s out there. Awesome stuff, much appreciated.

AMD: You are THE man ! Thank you for your honesty about this topic. Many of us listen.

A most timely and informative video for me. I'm close to the end of a 3 year lease on a 2019 Toyota with a very low miles. I decided to buy the car and purchase an extended warranty. Shopped on-line and at the dealership from where I leased the car. Prices in the $3k to $4k range for 8 years/100k miles. Decided to go with the Toyota VSA Platinum for which my car is qualified. Thought I would check if the quoted VSA price was negotiable and called 2 other dealerships. Both quoted prices significantly lower than the original dealer's. I learned from your video that the powertrain warranty on new Toyotas goes to 60 months. All good. As an old DIY amateur mechanic on old British cars, I enjoy very much your repair videos. Thanks.

15:30 Also good advisors! It doesn’t matter how good a technician can look over a car if the advisor will just pick and choose for the customer because they think you can’t afford it.

This was some very good information. I laughed at when you said: Lifetime Power Warranty. My local Toyota Dealership offers that. They advertise it in every commercial. I like an honest mechanic. When I bring my car in for service at a Toyota Dealership. Tell me everything that is going on with my car. So I can stay in the know of what's going on with it.

Wish I would’ve had this channel years ago I’ve wasted to much money over the years buying cars the wrong way. Just great content here thanks and keep it up AMD. God bless you

Oh wow,an honest mechanic with a moral conscience. You are really appreciated. I really love watching your videos. Thank you Sir

I bought an extended warranty for a new Toyota in 2011. At the time I thought it was a good deal at $2k for 10 years and 120k miles. I ended up using it for a water pump replacement at around 90k. This is on a 3.5L V6. The water pump sits about an inch from the passenger side body/frame. The replacement is a bit labor intensive. Dealership gave me a loaner while my car was in the shop. I think I got my money’s worth for that warranty.

Thank you for your honesty and common sense advice.

You are a gold mine. Thank you so much for your honesty and integrity.

In this video I love your analogy of if you buy a warranty and don't use it waste of money? Then reflect on car insurance,

I had a buddy that co-owned an appliance store with his dad. They didn’t make much profit on sales of stoves, washers and dryers. What kept them in business was extended warranties. Greg said that for every dollar a customer paid for the warranty it cost the warranty company .10 in covered repairs. It’s crazy to buy a warranty on a car that is covered by a new car warranty.

We got the extended warranty on our 2017 Tacoma. It’s been a great trouble free vehicle……except for the air conditioning that essentially disintegrated after five years. It cost us zero to fix as opposed to thousands without the warranty. The insurance comparison is very true.

I used to do the accounting for a major (legitimate) insurer's Vehicle Service Contracts (warranties). They were our most profitable product, by far. The dealerships marked them up further. I recall a Texas dealership that sold them at twice our recommended price.

Sir, thanks so very much for all that you do for us people that don't understand these things, you are a priceless mechanic to me , and someone that will always look up to you Sir , have a very blessed week ahead my friend! 😇😊

Whatever this guy says, he means. He has saved me thousands and his channel is thorough and informative. Can say enough but thank you!

Your awesome bro. I love all your content. So informative. Thank you for all you do. 👍🏽🙏🏼

you're a great mechanic and a good advisor for consumer as well !

You are opening the people eyes, ears & nose to make that better decision how to buy. Thank you.

We've had two vehicles with extended warranties: My 2008 Camry LE (2.4L) and my wife's 2013 Honda Fit Sport. For mine, the extended warranty was used, quite a bit. Before the six years (100K miles) was up, the rack-and-pinion and radiator were replaced, along with a transmission seal leak. (Later, the ubiquitous problems with the falling sun visors and the melting dash were dealt with, N/C). For the Honda Fit, well, just a couple of Dunlop tires (which were terrible, BTW). So, as they say, mileage will vary. On a related note: It's my understanding that work done under a Toyota Extra Care warranty is not as lucrative, for the technicians and the dealership, on a per hour basis, as non-warranty work. I have also heard, from multiple sources (text and conversation) that because of this relatively reduced hourly rate, warranty work is often not assigned to the most experienced and skillful techs, but shunted off to a lower-level technician, whenever possible. Sometimes that produces poor outcomes. Finally, there's the proverbial "elephant in the room" vis a vie dealerships (and independent or chain shops) as service sites. Generally, I've heard this described as the split between "diagnostic" and "merchant" cultures. A diagnostic culture goes to an accurate analysis of a car's potential for emergent or actual problems, and offers preemptive or immediately necessary remedies based on accurate diagnosis. (You're clearly in that camp, the diagnostic approach). On the other hand: Many dealerships (and independent/chain shops) sell services, whether they are necessary or not. Case-in-point: The local Toyota dealership pushes transmission flushes, which we know are terrible for transmissions. I've gone as far as to show them the TSBs from GM and Honda, explaining to these dealers that they will void transmission warranties (for GM and Honda vehicles) if flushes are performed. . These "wallet flushes" are high profit services, so these kinds of recommendations continue, even if they are unnecessary or even harmful to vehicle life. AMD, you're clearly an ethical practitioner of a diagnostic approach. I recognize and value that you have t technical expertise, communicative skill, along with a code of conduct. (And some service writers and shops have this ethos, many do not). Eventually, I hope that you address, in a general way, the difference between these two types of culture around auto maintenance and repair. Again, it's a great video, a significant public service.

You can get a prorated portion of the warranty back in the event you sell your vehicle. Did this with Honda/Acura Care from Honda/Acura when I sold my Acura. The only warranty work utilized was to replace the hood struts that were failing after 4 years or so... YMMV

I bought a certified 2012 Camry in 2014 and purchased the extended warranty as well. Since I would be using the car for long-distance travel, I thought it a good idea to have one. Yes, I thought that I may never need it and that it may be extra monies laid out at the time of purchase, I always rested well that I had that extra coverage in the event I needed it. I did have a few things that were covered under the warranty so I would definitely do it over again. Thanks, AMD, for another great video!

No one cold hate you Sir. You’re such an honest and kind man.

I bought a used Tundra with 5.7 V8 only 35k miles. It came with 100k extended warranty. So glad to have it when I discovered dreaded cam tower leaks at 75k. A different Toyota dealership covered entire repair and gave me a RAV4 loaner. $50 deductible.

One of the main reasons I now drive a Toyota truck was when the transmission failed on a GM truck 2 days after the factory warranty lapsed and GM told me they wouldnt cover it, despite me being a GM employee at the time . Ive always been more than happy with the way my local Toyota dealer has handled any problems my truck has had.

Thanks for the info and sharing your perspective. I would appreciate a video with advice about how to search for and choose a mechanic that’s right for you. The relationship can feel so disempowering, they have all the knowledge and as a ignorant person about the details of car maintenance it can be a very fearful process

So grateful I found your channel. Awesome content.

Good advice, I have to tell you I had a very rare “lifetime powertrain” warranty. It was only offered through Chrysler for 1 year 2007 and it was free. I kept the car 13 years. They replaced seals, driveshafts, gaskets and in the end at 227,000 miles an engine...all for free. I kept a paper trail through the dealership of everything I had done to the car...they never questioned any claims. On my new 4Runner I have an extended warranty through my insurance company which I’ve used before without any issues...very inexpensive. Thanks for the information.

Get a factory or OEM mfg warranty. Be very very careful of third party auto warranties. They have high deductibles and lots of exclusions.

TY for your video. I learned a lot. Dealerships are creeps!

Well done AMD, very informative, and I check out your channel on a regular basis.

AMD, you always give great advice to us Toyota owners. I bought my 22 Tacoma in March of last year. Following your advice I asked for a oil change at 5,000 miles. Service manager said it is not due until 10,000 but we can move this one up and you will have to pay for the 10,000 mile oil change. So yesterday I went in for my 10,000 mile oil change, same service manager said well will use your last free service for this. I said well so much for the 2 years free service. He said that is all that is allowed by Toyota because the truck is designed for oil changes at 10k intervals. I’m not sure that I am being told the truth. He tried to tell me that I was not understanding the way that Toyota builds the engine now it no longer needs oil change or service as the old ones did.

I liked when you talked about waisting money, on an extended warranty, and then compared it to car insurance which you have to get and don’t always collect on. I usually would keep a car at least 10 years with low miles and get an extended warranty. I would get at least 2 claims and get some use from them. I can’t stand those 3rd party warranty companies that always call you saying that your warranty just expired and try to sell you coverage!

Nice information, I appreciate listening to you. Your humour in the presentation is great.

I love this man. The mechanic step-dad we all need

your channel is a blessing. thank you

I was a mechanic for 30 years and I agree with you on extended warranty. Is no different than paying for car insurance. Why not. I got so many scam calls after I got my extended warranty. Claiming to be my extended warranty and emerge not. I can’t remember how many times I went the dealer to ask and told that was scam, don’t worry about it.

The Benediction is a nice touch at the end of each video.

I am a Toyota fan. But, for good reasons I hate my dealer, where I have bought three new vehicles. Thank you for great info. You answered my throttle body questions. Great job! Thank you. I do need to know a reputable Toyota dealer in SW Va.

Just purchased a 2020 XLE Highlander with 20000 miles on it. We bought the 7 year warranty for $2000. I figured if it had 20k miles Bc it was a rental it would be worth it. Time will tell I guess

I really really like your video, especially this one. Yes, the warranty does not cover typical things that fail like tires, brake pads/rotors, spark plugs, 12V batteries, timing belt, clutch, Struts, shocks. Some covers bushings, stabilizer rings, steering linkage, brake pads, bearings, brake booster in Hybrid, hybrid battery, valve cover gaskets, sparkplug seals, thermostat, sliding doors, lock-latch, and water pump.

Love watching your videos!! Keep making awesome videos!!

Your advice is worth tons of GOLD. I learn sooo much.

Got Mercury extended warranty platinum for my Prius from the credit union who offered me the loan. It lowered my loan rate and covered tires damage and deductible on comprehensive insurance claim besides mechanical breakdown. So far it had paid itself back and still valid for another 25,000 miles. A genuinely good product.

I've been to numerous shady Toyota dealerships recently, that pride themselves on their lifetime warranties. Thanks for reassuring me about these bogus in-house warranties, BTW another great video. Why isn't corporate doing something about these stealerships. Sadly to say this is the last straw with Toyota for me.

thx for your great advice. I've just bought a used 4-year Toyota C-HR with extended warranty for a total of 10 years. The only constraint I have is to make the coupon to the auto every 15.000km or every year, based on the first parameter that I satisfy. The only constraint I have is to do car maintenance every 15,000km or every year, in an official authorized Toyota center of course.

Got 2019 Camry certified from dealer with 30,000 miles and purchased the Toyota extended warranty. Thankyou AMD
