WE HAVE PURCHASED USED 03 MINI COOPER AND THE GWC WARRANTY AT THE SAME DAY WHEN VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.

SO WE TOOK TO CHEAP REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SHOP CALLED GWC WARRANTY AND TOLD THAT CAR NEEDS REPAIR. 2 DAYS LATER THEIR ADJUSTER SHOWED UP TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND HE CONFIRMED CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION.

REPAIR SHOP CALLED DEALER AND QUOTED FOR AROUND $7000 FOR THE REPAIR INCLUDING NEW TRANSMISSION. GWC REJECTED THIS QUOTE TELLING THAT TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE THE NEW ONE, UNLESS I PAY THE DIFFERENCE. SO REPAIR SHOP LOOKED FOR A USED ONE, AND THE CHEAPEST THEY HAVE FOUND INCLUDING LABOR WAS $5204.00 PLUS SEALS AND OIL. THE GWC TOLD THAT THEY WOULD ONLY PAY $4050 AND THAT IS THEIR TOP DOLLAR!

SO I HAVE PAID A REPAIR SHOP A DIFFERENCE OF $1146 PLUS SEALS AND OIL ( ADDITIONAL $200 FROM MY POCKET)

TOTALLY I LOSE $1346. PLUS I HAVE RENTED A CAR FOR A WEEK FROM MY POCKET. ALSO USING THE CHEAPEST USED PARTS WE HAVE NO WARRANTY ON IT.

I PAID ALMOST $600 FOR A 6 MONTHS WARRANTY ON THE CAR, AND THIS IS AT ALL NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING.

WILL FILE WITH BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND WILL TAKE IT TO A SMALL CLAIM COURT THIS WEEK. THIS IS TOTAL FRAUD, NOT AS ADVERTISED

Monetary Loss: $1346.

Location: Chicago, Illinois

You paid 600 for warranty and u are complaining because they paid 4000??? U should be grateful!

The trans was bad when you bought the junk mini. You should be mad at the Dealer that sold you this pics of junk.

Read up on things before you buy a car. Minis are junk next time buy a Honda or a ford and you will save a lot of money on repairs. Good luck fixing the mini down the road when the warranty is up. And think about it a $600 investment got you a return of $4050.00 were are you going to get that rate of return.

No were so stop sobing and be thankful you had the warranty or you would be out a lot more. Happy motoring.

I just bought a 2002 Honda accord...had it 33 days and the transmission is slipping....so much for your Honda theory....I have a Honda crv and and acura and I love them both...but all car manufacturers make lemons...that's why people buy extended warranties crazy davec
