extended warranty

December 18, 2008

I can’t say enough about having an extended warranty.  I’m so glad I have it.  When I took my car for inspection the other day, they told me that my car failed because one of the dashboard switches is on the fritz and needs to be replaced.  Cost for parts and labor?  Over two hundred dollars.  This means I’d have to come up with the money to get it done by the end of the month when my 2008 inspection sticker expires.  I told the inspector I’d pick my car up that evening and get it fixed at the dealer’s.  I suspected that my warranty would cover it, so I called Honda Care and they said that the repair is covered under my extended warranty.  Sure, I have to go to the dealership, again.  But it’s definitely worth over two hundred dollars for me to go there before bringing my car back to the inspector to pass inspection.  Yay!  Go warranty!  I’ll be done with this foolishness by the weekend, just in time to miss the last-days-of-the-month rush at the inspector’s shop.
