Usually not. Conventional wisdom says that if you get protection with your credit card, that’s a better bet. If you do decide to take the plunge and get one, you should consider RepairMaster. No, they aren’t sponsors of the site, but with Best Buy and Circuit City charging several hundred dollars for “coverage,” you can get it for considerably less.
Also, they appear to be a value when you consider everything they offer.
| 1. | Provides Complete Coverage For Years. Most manufacturer-limited warranties leave you with no protection against the rising cost of repairs after the first year of protection. Our RepairMaster™ extended warranties offer the opportunity to obtain coverage for years after the conclusion of the manufacturer’s warranty. We offer world-class tv warranties, computer warranties, and warranties for other major appliances. |
| 2. | Fully Insured for Parts and Labor. RepairMaster™ plans are fully insured by an insurance company rated “Excellent” by A.M. Best. You will never have to pay for parts and labor during the term of the plan! |
