BEST and other Warranties

[Osros]

I'm in talks with a dealer now going over a deal, I mentioned that I was looking for BEST warranty and he said okay but also offered other warranties that he feels has more to offer for coverage. I left it at that did not complete a deal yet but I don't like to be without info and did not ask any further about the other warranties yet. I was wondering if anyone else has warranties other than BEST what they are, info and any good or bad comments.


Thanks

There have been both good and bad (horrible) reports about other extended warranties. Evaluate them carefully before you leap. Many are merely cash cows for the dealerships. The BEST warranty is valid at any Spyder dealership in the US. No payment up front followed by reimbursement but there is a deductible. That is something to compare. There are some things it does not cover, and like other warranties it is somewhat subject to adjuster and dealer interpretation, but you need to look carefully before you decide.

Just a thought. BEST can be purchased anytime before your 2 year warranty expires. So, unless you really like an alternative that needs to be purchased at point of purchase. You have time to decide, and defer the expense.

Only my opinion, but something to ponder

Ask yourself......... Why would someone purchase a warranty (BEST) from a company that is affiliated with the manufacturer (BRP) ??????? Thats like trying to get a fair trial when the members of the jury are related to the DA. Whos "best" intrest do you think BEST warranty has in mind ???????


There have been posts where Best/BRP said they aren't going to cover when they clearly should. If BRP and BEST (remember they are affiliated) say no, your out of luck.

I use an aftermarket warranty (Interstate) and have had 0 issues with them not covering. I can take it to ANY licenced motorcycle shop including BRP dealers with no deductable. :thumbup:

This is an excellent "counterpoint" post. IMHO

Thanks all very good points, not having to buy the warranty right away helps a lot I did not know that. I will most likely go that way wait until I can get all info on the other warranties offered compare and make a decision.

Thanks a lot.

My local BRP dealer would not honor my BRP BEST warranty because I did not buy from him. BRP tried to intervene on my behalf with no luck. Had to go to another state to get service.

I have an RPM warranty, Seems okay to me had one major repair which was a water pump shaft,seals. done to repair oil leak. I think the bill was some where around $450. When you purchase bike new and buy warranty at that time you can get it cheaper then if you wait and do it. later. I think you have 30 days before you will not get the cheaper price.
At one time in FL. dealer's could not sell you a factory warranty you were forced to by after market one. I think this might still be true.

I have the Interstate Extended warranty as well. Diamond package. Zero deductible. Have not had to use it yet.

I'm glad you brought up the RPM that was the other one they where offering but it was a bit pricy for the compared to BEST. Still looking it over but confused on pricing will go over it with them tomorrow.

I am really confused my self on whitch or who to go with. Found BEST for 800.00 for 3 years and my local dealer wants me to go with his at 3000.00. 3k is a big difference! for a cattle farmer like my self. guess I need to start my home work, mine expires in June.

The dealer i'm buying from has been offering a bunch of warranty packages, including one that pre-pays all maintenance services for 3 years, and a 7 year warranty, which includes roadside assistance,lodging,transportation,towing,etc in the event of a breakdown, but didn't say if that was all BEST or another supplier, hoping that machine comes in soon so i can look at all my options. The last time i bought a road legal vehicle, (a 2003 dodge ram), the dealer(simmons rockwell in Bath, NY, i name them here because i will NEVER buy a vehicle from them again) was terrible, even down right rude about covering anything after a defective differential part was discovered during a warranty- required service.
So much for Dodge's bumper to bumper coverage!

Thank you for starting this thread BTW. VERY important info for all owners. I have Western Extended Warranty but still in the primary BRP at the moment. Has anybody had experience with Western? I imagine there are horror stories from every warranty outfit but who has the least and the best service I don't know.
