Chrysler Extended Warranty Prices

I've seen a few comments regarding warranty's so I figured I would post warranty prices from Chryslerwarrantys.com. I used them to get my dealer to match their price for my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Lifetime Maxcare warranty which I paid $1625 for. Unfortunately, my buddy didn't listen to me and when he bought his Ram from a different dealership, he paid $2800 for the same warranty...OUCH! I plan on doing the same thing for the JGC. I'm only quoting Max Care not the Added Care Plus which is cheaper but covers less as well. Max Care is your typical "bumper to bumper" warranty. This assumes $100 deductible. There are options for $50 and $0 deductible which substantially increases the price. These are 5, 6 and 7 year options along with the Lifetime option. I'll be going with the lifetime option on the JGC like I did with my Ram. One other thing to note here is that when you buy an Extended Chrysler Warranty (at least the Lifetime one) you receive a booklet of 6 free oil change coupons. I received two booklets when I bought my Ram (one for the military $500 rebate which the JGC has and one for buying the extended warranty). Great deal if you ask me so in my opinion it's a no brainer. The Lifetime isn't transferable to anyone except in two states if I remember correctly but I plan on keeping my JGC quite a long time just as my truck so I love that peace of mind.

2011 JGC

5/60K = $845
5/70K = $1055
5/85K = $1210
5/100K = $1400

6/60K = $940
6/70K = $1120
6/85K = $1330
6/100K = $1590

7/60K = $1005
7/70K = $1150
7/85K = $1380
7/100K = $1665

Lifetime (No Mileage or Year Expiration)
Powertrain Alone = $885
Max Care Bumper to Bumper (including power train) = $2100

Curious, my 2006 had maxicaare EW and the card that came with the warranty stated Naxicare on it. Got 7/100K Maxicare on the 2011 and just got the card in the mail doesn't say maxicare on it. Anybody with maxicare received their card and does it say maxicare on it? Just want to make sure they have me signed up for maxicare. Doesn't say on the paperwork that came with the card also.

Don't know about "maxicare" but I have the lifetime unlimited mileage "MaxCare Plus". And it says that on the card. I have no idea what the plus means compared to regular lifetime bumper to bumper. Anyone know what the "plus" means?

Do you have to get "preapproved" even during the factory warranty period? Would seem silly and redundant to have to go through with that!
The process for extended warranty work through Chrysler is the same system as the factory warranty. That is, the dealership enters the work order into Chrysler's computer system, and unless is exceeds a certain limit ($6000 I think), approval is automatic.

That's on of the main advantages over 3rd party warranties, since they do have to be called for preapproval on all repairs.

After you select the $100 deductible Lifetime Max Care warranty, the next screen will offer you two add-ons. Owner Care Convenience Upgrade which is oil changes every 3K miles and a few other things already included in the lifetime maxcare warranty ($35 first day rental, $1000 trip interruption). The second option is the Customer Convenience Upgrade (just for tires though not wheels). There are other options but you'd have to call them since they don't show online (Scheduled Maintenance Care and Scheduled Maintenance Care Plus which are total scheduled maintenance plans for every scheduled maintenance item). I put a link below that shows you the names of the maintenance plan options.

How long has Chrysler been offering Lifetime coverage plans? I don't think they were offering anything beyond a 7 year Max Care plan when I was shopping for extended warranties for my WJ. For 2100 bucks, there is no way I wouldn't get one if you're planning on keeping the vehicle for awhile. If the coverage is transferrable, I can't think of any reason not to get one.
 
#125 ·
I'm not sure how long it's been around but I can say it's been around since at least 2009 when I purchased one for my Dodge Ram Laramie. It is NOT trasnferable though. Only in one state (North Carolina) is it transferable. Even still, it's well worth the price if you keep it a long time and/or drive really high mileage. People have gotten it for as little as $1850 for the Lifetime Max Care $100 deductible. The dealer cost for that plan was reported to be $1700.

Have any of you tried using the "$35 first day rental" option for getting a car when you leave your vehicle for a day of maintenance items only? It clearly sounds like that is what it is intended for but my dealer played really dumb when I asked about it. If so it would get around the no-loaner car problem.
 
#128 ·
I can only speak for my local dealership but if you mean getting a loaner for say an oil change, then my answer is no. I haven't asked but they are usually quick about it and we take two cars, drop of the truck and within an hour it's ready. I've never asked. When I did get the 30,000 service done however, I was given a loaner since it took most of the day. For any "issues" you're having, it should be automatic.

I know you have 60 days from you purchased it to return it and get your money back. How long since you bought it? If you are past the 60 days, you could call Chrysler and see if they offere something to upgrade but I'm not sure on that.
 
#131 ·
Do these warranties have to be purchased when you pick up your vehicle? Or is it something you can purchase at a later date?
 
#133 ·
You have to buy within the first 12 months or 12000 miles to not have an increase in price of the warranty.

I bought mine from www.chryslerfactoryplans.com and once i registered with jeep owners site. It automatically appeared on my service contract section, since it is the authentic plan. The plan also states that I have $35 dollar rental coverage a day for a maximum of 5 days total. Was $1920 total with a 12 month 0% financing through Chrysler Financial and processing fee.

I have a Summit with QL and all the tech gadgets and it will be more than worth it in the long run...
 
#132 ·
Oh, and are these the same warrantys that are also on the chryler service contract website?
 
#135 ·
I think I am going to purchase the 7 year money back warranty. If I don't use it in 7 years you get it all back. That seems like a no brainer to me.
 
#138 ·
You feel that the extra couple of hundred dollars is worth it? You dont think within 7yrs, or really 4yrs after the 3yr/36 expires, you won't use it just once? lol Thats all it takes, just one time! Granted if you NEVER go to the dealership and fix it yourself then you might get away with it, but I dont see how you won't make at least one trip if you don't want to pay? Thats why they now offer it though, take more money from people who end up using it but didn't think they would.. hehe :lol:

I purchased the maxcare lifetime warranty and received the contract but dont see anything in the contract that says I must get a free inspection withing 60 days of the 5 year purchase price to continue the warranty. Can someone please point this out to me.
 
#147 ·
I'm at work but it's in there. When I get home if someone else hasn't already told you the page, I'll let you know the exact page. I think it was under "Customer Responsibilities" section or something like that.
 
#149 ·
Correct. The Lifetime Maxcare is NON-TRANSFERABLE EXCEPT in Florida and North Carolina (must be purchased there). Any of the other plans are transferable and have some money back options.
 
#152 ·
So chryslerfactoryplans.com is definitely factory backed, accepted by all dealerships, right? I noticed they offer a tire AND wheel protection, chryslerwarrantys.com only offers tire protection.

Yeah they offer a road hazard program. If you search google you'll see the office plan on chrysler website, but also on chrysterfactoryplans it has a PDF about the road hazard.

I bought mine for my 09 Ram in TX (state I live) and they didn't charge me sales tax.
