Service Contract Incentives and Discounts

We conduct continual research among our online competitors to be sure our prices remain the lowest and our customer service the best.

What we have come across as the latest selling technique is that competitors are offering gas cards, other similar incentives and on the spot discounts to sell their product.  Their products are marked up enough to allow for $300-$600 "on the spot" discount offers if you will "buy right now, today".  Their mark up also includes large commissions, large overhead and call center costs, lead buying, and large advertising budgets.

Our markup will always be smaller because we have a smaller operation.  Our operation may not include a large call center, but it does include stable and experienced administrators and "A" rated insurance companies.

The most important things to look for will always be:
1. strong administrator
2. insurance backed product
3. and reliable customer service.

The Lowest Price to extend Your Used Car Warranty

I just compared a quote for my old 2006 Acura RL, with 67,500 miles on it between one of the top internet service contract competitors in the business and Abraxas Warranty Services.  For 24 additional months, or 91,500 miles on the odometer (24,000 additional miles), whichever comes first using a $100 deductable and essentially the same coverages, the quote from  Abraxas Warranty Services was $1,246 and the competitor was $2393.

Pretty easy to figure out the best deal, all other things considered equal.   And they are.  I’m intimately familiar with the administration of this competitor as well as who insures their program.  All things are equal, including the insurance company and the administrator's benefits offered.

How to Find the Best Price for a Used Car Warranty

Life is a highway...
let us help keep you on it!
Extending your factory warranty by purchasing a vehicle service contract (often referred to as a used car warranty) take a lot of research.  You can purchase from your dealership when you purchase your car or you can purchase online from many different direct providers.  But even the online providers may prove to be too expensive.  Many of them use celebrities for advertising, pay high commissions to high pressure sales staff and incur large overheads.  This drives the price up even higher than those available from your local dealer.

Abraxas Warranty Services provides an option for extending your car warranty for much less than our online competitors.  We don't employ commissioned sales staff.  Our friendly and informative staff are paid a salary.  And we don't pay for expensive radio or tv ads, resulting in a low overhead.

Call us with any questions about how extending your auto warranty works, about our company, or about our benefits or administrator. Compare our price quotes to other online providers.  We believe we will beat our competition in all areas and you will be happy to come back to us.  Visit our site at Abraxas Warranty Services or call us at 877-331-5149.

Info from an insider on purchasing an extended warranty online

I called 3 different companies from a google search for auto warranties.  All 3 were found on page one.  I was looking to purchase an extended service contract for my 2010 Acura RL with 15,000 miles.   Give or take a few dollars,  all three were all around $3,200 for exclusionary (bumper to bumper) coverage for 6 years or 100,000 miles.  They immediately began to tell me about their financing arrangements…put X down and 18 payments of X.

Now I have to be honest, I wasn’t looking for a service contract.  I happen to own ABRAXAS WARRANTY, and I was doing a little undercover work.

Back to the scenario.  I told all 3 that even though they have financing arrangements, it was a bit too steep for me right now, with Christmas, the economy, etc.  Before I could finish my sentence, one dropped the price, “just for me”, to $2,600.  The other two were not that far behind in the price.  Once again I said it was too much.  One went down to $2400, the others didn’t budge.  However, one did send me a coupon via email for a “special” additional $200 off the price I was quoted. 

So what is the “non-negotiable” price for MY car using: ABRAXAS WARRANTY? $1352.  Quite a stretch from the others.  I guess when you have to market using Dale Earnhardt Jr’s or Rusty Wallace’s name it costs a lot more.  Or just hungry commissioned sales people.  We’re talking over $1,000 from their best price!  We did this with 4 other makes/models/years/mileage and came up with similar results on all.

When I told them I had found it for a significantly lower price elsewhere they told me that 1) the company offering this price could not possibly be backed by reliable insurance, 2) the coverage had to be much lower, and 3) the administrator had to be second rate and would not pay claims. 

ABRAXAS WARRANTY's answer to these claims:
1) Our product is backed by an AM Best "A" rated insurance company
2) Our coverage is listed on our website and may be compared to other online service contract companies or that offered by your dealer and it will stack up in benefits.
3) Our administrator has been in business and administering service contracts for over 25 years. I’ve had a close relationship both as a producer and as a consultant for over 10 years with our administrator.
