Extended Risk Coverage
General Motors auto maker is feeling the burn from Dex-Cool antifreeze vehicle damage. It appears that GM drivers have been regularly complaining about the antifreeze being a source of added wear and tear on automobile engines and are fed up with consequential repairs not covered in the manufacturer’s warranty. At this point, GM has been accused by multiple customers and faces lawsuits by exasperated vehicle owners.
No one wants to buy a car imagining the damage going on under the surface from a fluid chosen by the manufacturer. As nightmarish as it is, GM’s Dex-Cool situation is one of many similar manufacturer fault situations that vehicle owners get heated about. The warranty provided by a car manufacturer is only as good as that auto maker’s ability to produce a dependable, quality, ethical product. Where there’s an antifreeze causing havoc in intake gaskets, there is a likelihood of lacking coverage. An extended warranty can protect a car owner from occurrences such as this so don’t hesitate to enroll in a warranty that will pull you out of an expensive, unanticipated manufacturer mistake.

Dealerships Selling Faulty Warranties
A Ford Dealership in Michigan is being reported as selling faulty extended warranties to its car buyers. The accusations from customers against the dealership are in terms of the business’ ability to follow through with warranty 
payment, leaving customers with repair bills they anticipated covered. The article also states that the car owners are getting disappointing claims from repair shops that the warranty they presented isn’t fully inundated.
A story like this is exactly the reason why an extended warranty should come with all of the guarantees, and the company providing the warranty with recommendation and solid reputation. Your automobile coverage can save you hundreds or even thousands, but only if it is recognized valid by the mechanic. When you purchase a warranty straight from the dealership, you risk the case that the business may put you in a worse situation than if you’d never purchased the warranty to begin with. Invest in a warranty from an upstanding company to ensure that there is no question about your coverage when it is needed.

Does Your Warranty Limit Repair Shops?
In the continuation to unfold the various shapes and sizes that auto warranties come in, a limiting factor of some coverage companies is the location allowance, or lack thereof. It’s safe to say that most Americans do not have a specific repair shop over a long period of time. Even the most consistent customers to a particular maintenance shop are forced to find a new location at some point due to a move, a closing, or possibly a new and higher maintenance vehicle. 
There are many reasons a customer would need to switch around their auto repair preferences, but the bottom line is if your warranty allows for it.
Some warranties bind the client to particular locations for auto repair. This can be a hassle on scheduling, travel distance, and the repair shop may tend to cost more than the local competition. Perhaps if you’re partial to a particular repair shop you won’t need to investigate too deeply any limitations an auto warranty requires for the place of repair. But if you’re in the market for an automobile warranty that does not limit on maintenance locations, be sure to read the fine print.

Automobile Coverage For the Long-Haul
For some, warranty coverage is a disputable matter. Many car owners don’t consider that protection for their automobile incase of unexpected repair needs. Of course no vehicle buyer likes to 
think that their means of transportation will eventually cost them far more than anticipated, and when it happens, it can be financially devastating as well as take a toll on your sanity.
To have an extended warranty makes sense as car ownership is more expensive all the time due to soaring gas prices, repair rates, and the fact that an automobile is an item that depreciates as it provides a necessary service. Show your automobile some appreciation by getting it coverage for the long-haul and watch your warranty money turn into investment as you prevent yourself from paying far more than necessary to keep your car operating.
To make the right decision about an extended warranty, consider your car’s existing coverage. Think about how long you desire to own a properly functioning car. If you are financially wise about owning an automobile that endures, purchase an extended warranty that will guarantee just that.

Looks like GM and Toyota Will not work together
Last week a story broke about a hopeful alliance between Toyota and GM. The alliance would combat the Nissan-GM-Renault deal. However, Toyota has now denied all reports of the GM partnership.
Toyota and GM have already been working together in a "partnership" for a few years. But, the partnership had nothing to do with business, they were trying to co-develop fuel cells, and that relationship supposedly has ended.
But as for a new business relationship between GM and Toyota, that does not seem too likely.
"They haven’t approached us, and we haven’t approached them," the Toyota executive told the News.
I Think before anyone needs to risk their own necks for GM, GM really needs to show some improvement. GM is still suffering and it would not be the best business decision to risk a healthy company for a company that’s a few billion in red ink.
