  • After Market Warranty

    Decided to share a positive experience rather than the usual negative ones we all do when we are ripped off or otherwise a victim of poor workmanship or total lack of it.

    My 2009 Grande recently had its last warranty fixed price service. I made the decision to take up a CMI after market warranty and got a decent discount on that.

    Now, I had a suspicion that I probably wont get value for money and probably wont be covered when something goes wrong because of the number of modifications I have. I got a discount because while talking to the gent, we both clearly understood that those modified parts would be excluded at first instance, but depending on the actual nature of the mod may be included at their discretion. Fair enough in my book.

    So, at the last service they tell me. "Sir, your water pump has a leak" Oh great I thought, that just sucks. BUT, they followed with, you have the CMI warranty so when would you like to bring it in for replacement?" Say what???? How much?

    "It's free sir." I picked it up today and handed over Nil, nothing, nought! Still miffed, but happy!

    Rather glad I took out the warranty, and its already recouping against the cost. So everyone knows, I must get my car serviced by them, but that is not an issue for me as they have always serviced it and do a good job.

    mlc - happy little camper.

    Welcome to the water pump club. And who would have thought that such a common part would be shared with a lowly GX! By the way my experience was exactly the same, the water pump has a slight leak, give me a few days and then book it in for replacement. Free.

      MLC,

      Which CMI was that at, for work i've been happy using Cornes Toyota at Hawthorn for a few years now after not being happy with the service in the city, after they break your door trims and then try and cover it all up with black sikaflex and denied the whole thing when i questioned them.

        I've always taken all the Toyotas I have owned to CMI at Christies Beach, excellent service and the same service advisors have worked there for a few years now. They are always friendly and very helpful.

          Lucky You Rob.

          I also have the CMI aftermarket warranty but not the happy story to share.

          Went in with an issue with my drivers seat but alas seats and trim are excluded so im left with a dodgy seat.

          p.s anyone want to swap out their seat with me??, mine still works but one of the bushes is shot and apparently the whole base needs to be replaced as you cant replace just the assembly...
          Cheers

            Mike, I would not expect trim to be covered. That said, if they broke it they should pay. I suspect its the fake claimers that stuff that up for us.

            For the record, they re-installed a fuel wrong at my 40k service. On being notified they fixed it straight away..
