Extended Warranty going up 4/7 30%

[Nighthawk]

Received an email that GM extended warranties are going up 30% on April 7. Does anyone else hear the same thing? Does this happen every year?

That's a chunk of change there too. I wonder if that's a result of the new tariffs since most replacement parts are imported.

That’s what I was thinking perhaps. Googling it I found past years had the same thing. I do know in 2023 till now the price hasn’t gone up that much

I'm sure all the engine replacements isn't helping any of this

Please remember all extended warranties are negotiable, dealers have a big profit margin on these

 

[2024 White Tahoe]

Received an email that GM extended warranties are going up 30% on April 7. Does anyone else hear the same thing? Does this happen every year?

What was the origin of the email?

I bought a new 2024 Tahoe Premier 4wd on 12/30/2024. In January, I bought an 84 month / 100,000 mile GMPP from the same dealership.

At the same dealer - my wife ordered a 2025 Equinox RS AWD in January, and the vehicle was built and we took delivery in March. The dealership said the GMPP rates were raised in March by GM (not the dealership).

I got quotes on the same GMPP (platinum - no deductible) for the Equinox from the same dealership yesterday. The sales person said the rates are good for at least 90 days, but usually only go up yearly.

The cost of the same GMPP was slightly less than the Tahoe.

Also note that GM does not sell extended warranties, but rather service plans (which are backed by an insurance company). The cost of the plans are negotiable, as there is a considerable markup on them by the dealership.

Been shopping Knapp, when I received quotes, email said price increases coming on May 1.
Quoted $1766 for 36 months/36,000 platinum, 0 ded, for 22 Yukon still under factory warranty.
Any feedback on price?

@dancastro ouch… that to much for something that mirrors manufacturers warranty (all you are getting is rental car coverage)
Depending on on how many miles are currently on ur vehicle (under 12k or under 36k), 36/60 should be around $1000

unironically, you can mechanically delete the DFM for what one of these service plans cost and spare your rig that fate

I plan to do the same when it finally arrives..

Agreed, most new vehicles seem to be built with an EOL. Some GM dealers are offering lifetime powertrains now at least.

Thanks for the lead, Todd was quite a bit cheaper.

Does anyone know, roughly, how much the coverage plans increase from 12k mikes to right around the 36k mile mark? Basically, on a new vehicle, is it best to buy the extended plan just before 36k miles hit? I also assume that pricing with more miles is going to be higher, which is why I'm asking this question.
