Are All Mopar Warranties the Same?

[thelumen]

Are all these warranties created the same!!??

I see vast differences in pricing. My Jeep dealer wants to charge like 2000 more then this site. Are they the same warranty/product? It sure looks like it

There are different mile limits/coverages, but yes you can likely get it cheaper elsewhere.

Check out Granger, they are a forum sponsor:

Make sure that the dealer is trying to sell you a Mopar warranty. Some dealers sell 3rd party warranties because they can make more money on them. I would never buy a warranty from a dealer. They make them way up. The exception is Granger, they sell warranties in volume and are not a concerned about making megabucks off a warranty...

Is Granger a 3rd party non-mopar warranty? The prices seem comparable to the mopar price but offer rental car and lights for a small fee

anyone have experience with getting a repair via Granger warranty?

Hi Lumen,

In my state we cannot buy warranties online.
In my book, when it comes to dealerships and extended warranties everything is negotiable - within reason.

We bought my wife's Willies about three weeks ago in a full cash deal. During our time with the finance guy at the dealership we got pitched over and over and over again, the Mopar extended warranty plans. Even though I had no intention of purchasing the warranty from him, I held on to each of his descending price offers on a Maximum Care, 7 year, 100,000-mile, $100 deductible plan.

This past Sunday we met with the finance officer at our local Jeep dealer and were right up front with him about the other Jeep dealers' lowest price on that specific plan. I told him that if he could substantially beat that price, we'd cut the check for the full price on the spot.
He did and we did. All told it took maybe twenty-five minutes.

I will add something to think about when it comes to Mopar extended warranties. If you travel with your Jeep, you might want to read the fine print in the current version of actual contract about where and by who the warranty can be serviced. Sales guys are likely to tell you anything to get you to sign but read the contract first.

...and just too muddy the water a little further. While my wife is comfortable with the Mopar plan on her Wiilys - and I guess I am too, to some degree. When it was time for me to pony for an extended warranty on my Wrangler, I actually bought the highest-level Ford Motor Company plan. I've used that warranty at Non-Mopar and Jeep dealers and for the most part it's been seamless, regardless of where life takes me and my Wrangler....and yes, I managed to whittle the cost of that plan down to a fraction of what the dealerships opening price salvo was.

Best of luck, David

Ford gave you a Jeep warranty?

Granger is just a dealer selling them online. The MSRP and dealer cost for maxcare can easily be 2-3k spreads. Lots of room to undercut MSRP.

 

[thelumen]

Apparently so. I’d be curious to see the long term returns on these warranties from a revenue I would think a large portion of certain model year wranglers over 60-70k mileage need some expensive repairs.

No, they didn't give me a warranty, they sold me one, and here's why, their dealers (like many car companies today) don't just offer their own brand as certified pre-owned vehicles, they offer others as well. So as long as they offer extended warranties on those vehicles, they'll sell you one on a Jeep, new or used, as long as it meets their criteria. I looked into the pricing for my wife's Willy's at our local Ford dealer earlier on, but she opted to go with Mopar (her Wrangler, her call). But Ford was ready to sell her the same warranty I have on my Wrangler.

sounds like a 3rd party warranty and the people who actually work for Jeep dealerships ie alphawolff and potterjlur among others have said mopar maxcare is the only way to go. I am sure a few have had good luck with 3rd parties but many have not.

So they sold you the same mopar warranty that Jeep sold your wife?

I hope you and your wife don't need warranty repairs.

I bought my 2021 JLUR last year from a Jeep dealer and they included a Mopar 100,000 mile/$100 extended warranty. They said I could deduct $400 of the sales price if I declined. I thought for that price, I'll take it.

My first experience trying to use it was bad. I had a rear locker sensor go bad (common problem). I was charged $135 diagnostic fee before I was told the sensor is an electrical item and not covered, even though axles and drivetrain are covered.

This experience parallels every extended warranty I've ever purchased. Either claim denied, or repairs would have been cheaper than the cost of the warranty.

 

[thelumen]

That’s odd because the mopar extended care says it covers electrical…just not lights or their housing. Was it not max care for your warranty?
