Best Deal: Extended Warranty (GMEPP) )plans
OK. I've searched the old posts and everything is pretty ancient. So, who might be offering the best deal on an extended warranty?

To find the "best" deal you're probably going to have to make some phone calls. ANY GM dealer can sell you this plan, but you'll find few, if any, that will publish the lowest price they're willing to accept. If you search Google, you'll find some recommendations for dealers offering good prices.
If you realize the mark up on the first price a dealer quoates you on these plans can be as much as 200%, you'll understand there's a LOT of profit even when they start discounting.

I called Ken and got a price for $1330 for a 72 month $0 Ded 50,000 mile. I ran that past my dealer when I was signing paperwork and he did $1,150 for an 84 month, $0 Ded, 60,000 mile through Zurich. Ken's was a GMEPP plan. There is a lot of margin in these contracts and I would bid providers against each other.

I researched a lot of plans and found the GMEPP Platinum Plan has coverage that is as good if not better than most. It also provides towing, hotel expenses and rental cars for repairs that cannot be completed in one day. It is also put into GM's system so any GM dealer in the US or Canada can bring it up and should honor it without any issues. You do not have to pay up front and get reimbursed like a lot of 3rd party warranties.

I priced from a few dealers and then purchased through Ken. GMEPP for the mag ride to be covered. 84 months and 100K miles for a Z06 for $2600. I'm happy with that price and the peace of mind. I just put Xpel on the entire car. It was $3500 to protect the paint for 10 years. Chances are I will use the warranty at some point. One repair for an A8 or motor is worth the price. I plan on doing HPDE's and no mods. Great service from Ken.

Ken would be a very good place to start when getting quotes for an extended warranty. When I get ready to consider one for my new DD, I'll be giving him a call.

When service write brings up your car's info, the GMEPP information is right there. Slick, no hassles.

He has among the closest best deals on GMEPP pricing. Price goes up and down based on coverage. Email him, he will get back to your promptly. Feel free to shop other dealers. I did, he was the best pricing that I found. I suppose if you called every dealer in the country you could find a cheaper price, but then you have to determine your ROI. I work, so the time I can dedicate to doing more than a couple calls is limited. Depending on the coverage/length of time, you are really talking from $100's to

I just got my 72 month 48k warranty from Ken a few days before my 2015 C7 turned 1 year old. I paid $1,265 and because my car is still under the factory warranty they add 1,000 miles and 1 month to the warranty.
That gives me 73 additional months of coverage and 49,000 additional miles over my the 1 year of used factory warranty and miles already used.
