[QUOTE="KAH 24, post: 1808783, member: 43659"] [USER=39584]@GordoJay[/USER] In my professional experience, I’d say OEM extended warranty if you only plan to take your vehicle to a Ford dealership for repairs—and have zero plans of modifying any component that could be impacted upstream or downstream. OEM warranties are the strictest and one of the departments I oversee is doing an excellent job of pushing back against dealerships if we suspect mods. Fortunately the majority of our consumers have zero interest in mods. In my consumer experience, and as a fan of top tier independent franchises (Christian Brothers as an example)—the owners are thankful for the contract work they receive from being a RepairPal authorized center for CarMax/MaxCare, and advocate heavily to keep that business and keep the customer happy. I am not saying they will let mods slip by, but let’s just say—I’ve taken quite a few modified vehicles under extended third party warranty to preferred independents without a hitch for repairs. I unequivocally believe an OEM dealership would have “scrutinized” more closely—as they need parent OEM authorization. There are pros/cons to everything as we all know. That said, if you don’t have any decent dealerships in your area—I’d consider a good third party. NOTE1: The caveat with CarMax/MaxCare is that you can only buy it at time of purchase from a CarMax dealer. This is why my family loves buying vehicles from CarMax. NOTE2: I acknowledge my significant bias as I am hawkish and conservative in my role at an OEM. This of course influences my views and what/how I see things. Just my opinion as always. [/QUOTE]
