There have been numerous posts about extended warranties for the FGT and I’m curious if anyone has dealt with US Fidelis? A colleague has a 5 year warranty with them for his 2004 Suburban and spoke very highly of them. I had some time to kill this afternoon and figured it wouldn’t hurt to talk. Here’s what I got from my conversation. First off, the sales person immediately transferred me to a supervisor. Maybe they could tell I was a sucker :lol US Fidelis has been in business since 1995 and has written 5 million extended warranty policies. The product for the FGT is underwritten by Royal Insurance (est. in 1994) and they are insured by Lyndon Insurance Company (est. in the 1950’s). Based on the miles that I drive, they offered me an 8 year/100K miles bumper to bumper warranty, covering over 5000 parts and labor. Pretty much covers everything, except wear and tear items. To compensate for the remaining 6 months of my factory warranty he extended their warranty an additional year (8 years total). Coverage is good through any dealership or ASE certified mechanic. The warranty comes with a $100 deductible, covers towing (flatbed) for 25 miles, 24 hour roadside assistance and a rental car. If you’re not happy with the plan, there is a $25 cancellation fee or it can transferred to the next owner for a $50 fee. It really does sound too good too be true that there is an extended warranty available for the FGT. I’m waiting for a return call from my local service manager to check his dealings with the company. Any feedback would be appreciated.
