Experience with Rout 66 Warranty

I reluctantly purchased this warranty several years ago as I approached 50,000 (Route, not Rout!). I had to open a credit union account for $5.00, and paid @ $2,500.

Peace of mind with the N63 engine, right?

This spring, my drivers side airbag light went on. It was ultimately a clock spring and cost $2,300 to replace/repair. Route 66 declined coverage as they don't cover restraint systems. When I explained what the part was and sent them the diagram my SA provided, they fully paid.

More recently, dealer noticed a variety of hoses (oil and turbo) were leaking pretty badly. I also had a front door lock actuator that was starting to go and throw the fuse. Total for all of this was $7,000!!

At this point, my car is maybe only worth $25,000. I might have dumped the car (which I don't want to do - I still really enjoy the ride). But Route 66 didn't bat an eye and all I paid was some tax, less than $200.

I'm pretty impressed by the company and awfully pleased with my "investment."

Your mileage may vary.
