You are better off going to a local place and getting that done. There is alot of profit in that for the dealer from what I have been told. How much did they quote you?

 

I don't let the kids eat in my car

 

They quoted $485 for the Premium w/ 7 year coverage.

I discourage eating in the car, but sometimes the kids eat in reverse, if you know what I mean. Nothing like "daddy, I'm sick" when you're on the highway.

I also have catch mats under the car seats to trap the fluids leaking through the holes in the seats. The mats also stop the seats from marking the leather when you tighten them up. If I keep this as my daily driver for 8-10 years, I'd prefer to be prepared.

 

50$....3m scotchguard auto. i did the whole interior. Couple coats. The stuff is so good that my oem floor mats look brand new because dirt/mud/crap wont stick to them at all.

 

Just google extended "whatever" and you will see what kind of profit the dealer will make off you. Kind of like buying an extended warranty, see who offers the best price. Make a few few phone calls to some dealers and see who wants your business, or just do it on your own. You have kids so that is a new paradigm all in itself...If you got the money who cares? What is $485 for 7 years...

I personally let no one eat or drink in my car EVER, but that is different for you. I hope to never have children, and if I do, they will ride in mom's piece of crap VW.

 

I think you can get it done for $300 for 5 years at non-dealer places.

 

Scam.

We bought a new Lexus in April 2012, we bought this warranty because my wife like her new car and wanted to keep it that way, also we needed to close the deal and leave the dealership for another appointment (will never do this again on the same day buying a car).

A few months later, at Starbucks drive-thru coffee got spilled on the headliner so we figured we were luck to have this protection. After calling them to file a claim, to our surprise, they told us it's not covered because they "cannot apply cleaning adhesive on the headliner". We even went back and read the fine print, there's nowhere it mentioned this exclusion, but there is a clause saying it's not refundable. What a rip-off!

To us, it's quite clear: this is a scam.

 

Scam, sounds like my friend the bought Ziebart protection on his truck. 7 years later it developed some serious rust and took it to Ziebart's to have it repaired . They showed him the fine print where they had the option of repairing the rust or refunding the original purchase price of the coating. They gave him his $99 dollsrs back.
