What To Do When a Dealer Refuses To Cancel an Extended Warranty

A warranty is a service provider’s guarantee to its clients. It includes the terms on which repairs or exchanges will be made if the product doesn’t function as originally described. An extended warranty is a prolonged warranty offered to clients in addition to the standard warranty on new items.

Most warranty claims are honored without a problem, but at times, customers are hung out to dry. If a dealer or a company refuses to cancel your extended warranty, you can use DoNotPay’s feature to appeal the decision in only a few clicks!

How To Cancel Extended Warranty on Your Own

Most companies will eventually let you cancel an extended warranty, but they will make sure to drag on the process relentlessly. Here’s what you can do to try and get them to cancel your extended warranty:

MethodHow It Works

Email

Send an email to the company requesting the cancellation

Phone

Call the dealership and let their finance manager know that you wish to cancel your extended warranty

In Person

Go to the dealership yourself and talk to them about canceling your extended warranty

Letter

  1. Bring your letter to any local post office
  2. Put both your and the recipient's address on the letter
  3. Make sure to weigh your letter (needs to weigh 13 oz. or less)
  4. Pay the certifying fee

If you already tried all of these methods and the company still won’t budge, you can turn to DoNotPay and give it one more try before opting to appeal a denied warranty claim.

When To File a Warranty Claim

File a warranty claim as soon as you realize something is broken or doesn’t work properly. If you don’t want to give a dealer any excuse to refuse to cancel your warranty, keep all service receipts and records, regardless of who performed the service. This includes any kind of service, like oil changes, tire rotations, belt replacement, and inspections. The receipts can be used to prove that the vehicle was properly maintained.

If you do your own maintenance, you should keep your receipt for the parts. Think ahead when it comes to warranties so that dealers and companies don’t use the lack of evidence in their favor.
