Bay13 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 If I were you I'd nix the carmax warranty, and go to a Volvo dealer and get an extended warranty from them. Reason is that most of the repairs will be sent to the volvo dealer and Most Volvo dealer don't work well with CarMax. Reason being Carmax wants to get the parts at cost from their resources and send them to the dealer to be used. That doesn't fly at the dealer I work at. Something to consider.

Something to consider.←Sending the car to the Volvo dealership is an option. If i have it repaired under Carmax warranty at Carmax I incur a $50 deductible, at Volvo it's $75. Since carmax doesnt do loaners, I'll gain back the $25 and then some by not having to get a rental at the Volvo dealership(but even if i did have to get a rental, carmax warranty reimburses $25/day).

Bay13 Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Let me say it another wayWe had a customer with a Carmax Warranty, he needed the $1000 ETM replacement. The customer had to pay for it him self because CarMax would not give approval to the dealer to do the repairs. Carmax cannot do any repairs that reqire a VIda computer hook-up or software down load.
