Wow some really bad reviews about Easy Care. How did they happen to contact you. I still get warnings that my Hyundai warranty is going to expire although the car expired 3 years ago when I stumbled into a CRUZE. I'm happier but miss the powerful V6

I wouldn't buy any Service Contract (no such animal as an Extended Warranty) from a voice on the phone, or any correspondence by mail. Many of these companies are here today, gone tomorrow, a ponzi scheme of scams. How many miles do you have on the CRUZE? You might look into the new GMEPP or the old GMPP still sold by Ally.

I thought they did away with the old GMPP?

ALLY will still back the policy as it sells the same policy for all models & makes. I talked to the company which administers the GMPP out of Chicago and they sounded like thugs. Told me if I returned my $1500 GMPP I could not repurchase it. Well that technically is true, I did return it and bought one from a closer Dealer who sold it for $500 less just to piss off the guy who sold me mine at a competing store!

Supposedly there is more profit to be made from the new GM GMEPP vs the GMPP. Both plans are excellent although one is really no longer officially 'backed' by G.M.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Differences between GMPP and the new Chevrolet Protection Plan:
GMPP is a product of Ally Bank
GMC Protection Plan (GMEPP) is a product of General Motors
GMC Protection Plan (GMEPP) offers the same coverage as GMPP with these additional benefits:
1) A higher rental car reimbursement rate of $40/day
2) A higher towing reimbursement rate of $150/occurrence
3) Trip interruption coverage of $200/day
4) Reimbursement of up to $35 for locksmith services
5) Coverage for ride control suspension

RECOMMENDATION:
I would purchase a policy when you take delivery. I expect an increase soon in pricing.
The GMEPP considers a car/truck new for 36 months. The powertrain warranty is being cut back on 2016 models.
The prices will increase dramatically based on this change in warranty and the price will affect all vehicles within the 36 month base warranty!
Further, prices increase annually and also increase as you accumulate mileage.

Starks8, Before you shell out money for a warranty you probably don't need, Figure out how many miles you average a year. Most of the time the extended warranty looks good but only ever adds years to your coverage if you don't really drive your car.

Doing the math I drive an average of 20-25K a year, extended plan would only give me 6months to a year of warranty extension. Instead of spending that money, use it for any repairs you actually get. I only had ONE repair on my cruze outside the b2b, at 94,000 miles I fixed the leaking transmission cooler line for $225.

Plus didn't you mention your highest repair ever in 30 years on the road was $400? You are like the Dos Equis man of Car repairs. My first repair ever in the early 70s was $600, and a cracked head out here in the Desert was over $2000. One (1) repair pays for this coverage

So are dealerships the only ones who can and do sell the GMPP and/or GMEPP? My 2015 is only 4 months old from my purchase date of 12/12/15 and currently has 3,300 miles on it. Any idea price wise what I would be looking at? I can price shop around at the different chevy dealerships, right?

You can purchase one of these GMPP or GMEPP contracts from your selling dealer and then have 30 days to cancel for free. In fact you can cancel at anytime into the coverage for a prorated amount minus a small service fee. Or you can wait until your 3 years, 36,000 miles are ready to expire and see if you want to buy one then although they will try to charge more even though the cost to the dealer stays pretty much the same. The hypothetical figures Spacedout pointed out are virtually meaningless and get a 0 $ deductible for pennies more. Keep in mind a Power train warranty and a New Car Limited Warranty are completely different, one covers only certain engine and transmission related failures. Highly recommended looking into!
