Extended car warranties are famous for denying repairs if they can find any fault to be blamed on you.

Extended car warranties are famous for denying repairs if they can find any fault to be blamed on you.
Loopholes for parts not covered.
Any failure of maintenance such as missing an oil change by mileage or time.
Sometimes their maintenance requirements are more stringent than what the manufacturer recommends.
The sales pitch does not emphasize the conditions/loopholes.

Dealers push them but it's just a sales product to them.
Dealers do not administer them.
Repair shops hate them.
They are Johnny-on-the-spot when you want to buy.
It's elevator music when you call for repair authorization.

Ask the person trying to sell it to you if they will sign a paper representing themselves and the dealer that you satisfy all required pre-conditions for repairs.
Doubtful, eh?
