This is the best kind of feedback we can receive from a new customer! Thanks for letting us know Debbie.
Good Morning,
I am writing to you to tell you how fortunate I was to have had the pleasure of speaking with Alvin Casillas, about your warranty programs. The gentleman, besides having a wonderful speaking voice was deliberate in making sure every item he was speaking about was clear and concise and any questions I might have, he painstakingly made sure I fully understood every and all differences between the programs that would fit my vehicle. I also spoke with Alvin a couple times after my initial phone call with questions I had versus the vehicle I was purchasing and he took each phone call and treated me as if I was part of his family. The man is a true professional, I have never encountered a person so knowledgeable and the drive to help someone get the right fit for their needs without pushing or pulling them into it.

What’s the best way to obtain a fair estimate for car repairs? You should make a check list so that you can protect yourself from scams or mark-ups. Even legitimate repair shops will differ on their repair estimates, but the core items you need fixed should be the same.
1. Get more than one estimate. Unless you have a mechanic that you work with and trust, consider getting several estimates for the job. If your car is in an collision accident, more than likely your insurance company will ask you to get three estimates. If you are paying for car repairs out of pocket you should definitely do the same. A lot of times different mechanics will charge different prices even for the same problem. They might have different rates, feel that they need to repair things that are potentially going to break, or some mechanics are dishonest and will charge you for services that do not need to be performed.

When is the best time to look for a high quality auto repair shop? Answer, before you need one. Making a sound decision is difficult when you are faced with a car problem and time restraints. Also, emergencies create an emotional climate that thwarts a clear and objective evaluation. Finding a shop takes time and patience; you want to research and evaluate the facts. So find a repair facility before you need one. 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 2005 Toyota 2.4L. Is there a magic 75,000-mile event that requires the expensive replacement of timing belts and chains or the engine will self-destruct? I hear stories to this effect, and my Toyota dealer hedged the question. Help!
