Feedback From A Warranty Direct Customer:

This is just to let you know how pleased I am with your service. I recently purchased a policy with Warranty Direct, just before my car’s original warranty expired. My car had not had any problems up to that point, so I was unsure whether this extra expense was really necessary, but only a few weeks later, I took my car to the dealer for some maintenance and several leaks were discovered. Your company covered the cost of repairs without any problem. Shortly thereafter, a totally different issue was discovered and Warranty Direct also covered it, this time supplying the required part directly to the mechanic. Needless to say, I am very glad that I purchased the warranty when I did. Thank you for making these repairs so simple and direct. I will definitely recommend your service.  Read more...

This weekly feature for Warranty Direct about car repair and maintenance is written by Tom Torbjornsen, the popular host of America’s Car Show on satellite radio. Below are some recent Q&A from the America’s Car Show email bag.

Dear Tom,
I own a ‘97 Buick LeSabre with a 3.8 engine. When I remove the gas cap to put in gas, there is a release of fumes from the spout from the buildup of pressure. What would cause this pressure?
George from Blyth, NY

George,
There is a problem with the way the gas tank is purging pressure. Pressure inside the gas tank is released through a vent on the top of the tank. There could be a problem with the vent, a blocked purge hose, or a plugged vapor canister in the EVAP system. The system needs to be checked out. Best to you.
