Performance First extended warranty

[Mechanick]

Hi guys, picked up my JLU Rubicon 2020 just a few weeks ago and was sold a 6 year 75K warranty from Performance First (Third Party), it's supposed to be a "bumper to bumper" but the "Whats not covered" obviously has the usual stuff.

It cost me about 2K and i am debating if i should cancel it as i have a few days to decide.

I also ended up buying the a wheel and tire for $580 for 5 years that i am thinking of getting rid of as well as i am not sure they will cover my after market larger tires i intend to put on.

I plan on keeping this Jeep for a long time and also plan on some mods. In terms of mods i plan on installing a lift, maybe the Mopar 2", new black wheels and probably 35 or 37 tires. Then probably some body parts like steps, what not....

What do you guys think about the warranties i have? should i keep them or cancel them? Any insight appreciated. First time jeep owner here. Thanks!

Third party insurance is usually a scam. If you really want a warranty then I'd get the Mopar factory extended. Check out this thread for example. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ought-it-back-at-a-little-higher-price.38772/

I don't buy extended warranties myself. Just my personal preference. But if it gives you piece of mind, then it is priceless. Good luck

The wheel/tire warranties are a joke. I have seen many instances where they denied coverage. You can buy a whole set of rubi take offs for $500.

Not likely anything will happen to off road tires as theyre built extra tough but id get a tire cert from discount tire/americas tire over one of these “warranties”. And you dont have to have purchased the tires from them to get certs. They quoted me $20 per tire (35” Patagonias). I didnt get it as its highly unlikely i would damage one beyond repair. And in the highly unlikely event, a new one is $200.

i have their certs on my wifes commuter car though. She had low air in a tire and drove on it and ruined the tire and they exchanged it for a brand new one, no charge. Worth the $13 for those tires

Thanks for the insights, i just emailed my dealer to cancel. Hopefully they do it ASAP, thanks!

Wheel warranties can be worthwhile on certain vehicles but not on Wranglers. Windshield warranty, on the other hand, may be a great investment, depending on your own insurance coverage. I agree with @GreyFox about the MOPAR warranty. It’s really the best option if you want extra coverage and you can find some really great deals online and at dealers around the country. You don’t have to buy it at your dealer.
