AUTOMOTIVE WARRANTY EXTENSION CHALLENGED BY IRATE CONSUMERS

Have you been plagued with the avalanche of emails, phone calls, and direct mail from unscrupulous automotive insurance companies who harass you constantly with interruptions about extending your warranty on your automobile? Although these pesky perpetrators are operating under the law, their practices and procedures are questionable by self-respecting consumers. You may want to sent your concerns to the media and to the local Better Business Bureau for effective positive action. Awareness of the unnecessary infringement on your personal privacy is always helpful to all consumers who know how to respond to the question. What part of "No" do these marketing insurance pests not understand.

In the past and certainly in the present and the foreseeable future, consumers are wise enough to judge when a vehicle is not performing to expectations and are causing them considerable expense. Usually a trade in for a newer vehicle is a possibility. Also, many experienced and reputable mechanics have been improving the performance of used automobiles for many, many years. Even with the extensive technological advances, these mechanics have found ways to improve their quality workmanship for the recurring consumers who use their services. Choosing a respected mechanic is the consumer's choice.

Are the automotive insurance companies really hurting for profits to stoop to juvenile ways of getting business even using "fear" tactics in their brochures and information. On the rise up the Ladder of Achievement, the "Mother of Invention" has effectively and efficiently found ways to resolve challenges without the unnecessary intrusion of "money-happy" insurance agents with little or no ethical business code or conduct. Buyer beware of what seems to be too good to be true, is too good to be true. Watch out for the myths and the false claims made by hucksters who really are self-serving and self-interested and self-centered. People do not care how much you know, but how much you care.

How many automobile owners get their extended warranties at the time of purchase from the automotive dealerships? How many really get extended warranties after the initial warranty expires? Why do insurers really want to have extended automotive insurance besides greed? Give the American Automotive Owners a pat on the back from paying unnecessary and throw-away insurance to benefit the greedy. Common Sense should always prevail regarding any sizable purchase amount. Imagine a person buying a brand new television set that has at least a one year manufacturer's warranty. Imagine also a store asking the customer to buy additional insurance to cover all expenses after the one year warranty. Yes, that is a common practice. And yes, customers can and should turn down all such added costs. A reputable dealer and manufacturer should always stand behind their products. That has been my experience over the years. The fly-by nighters you will always have and milking consumers in a legal "scam." Buyer beware means just that...Some automobile owners run their vehicles well beyond the initial standard warranty without the need to "throw money away to an insurance company." Sometimes we see a "walking lollipop" because someone does a hotshot talk to convince you to waste your limited resources. We live in a land of opportunity, but some persons make that opportunity "legal robbery."
