Extended warranty vs Breakdown with parts and labour

Featured Replies

Hi

My car turns three years old next week.

My manufacturer warranty and roadside assistance runs out and I'm just looking for some advise on the best option to go for. I have had the car back a lot at the dealers over the three years for warranty work so just doing nothing is not an option.I had a letter from skoda assitance saying I can cover the car for another two years for £155. I had an e mail from skoda extended warrenty and I can get another years warranty for £220 but am I correct in saying that the breakdown and warrenty are not as comprehensive as the warrenty I had before? I also have had a look at the rac for breakdown and parts and labour cover for the battery and home start that comes in at £250. Finally I got a quote from warrenty wise for 3 years warrenty for £910 but this does not include breakdown cover. I would like to also add that I got a letter saying my car is affected with the volkswagon emissions scandal. Has anyone out there got experience with these options and what do you think my best option would be ? The car has just has its first mot and a recent service and has been running great for the last 4 months I would like to keep the car another 3 years.

I renewed my cover with the AA for £65.24 which I found was a great price for the cover provided, you may get a letter about renewal but I called before mine arrived and they just took my details and gave me the same cover as before, make sure you tell them the date you want to start it from or they might start from the date you enquire.

 

I also bought the full extended warranty, that was £212.85
