wallmart extended care

[steveh2112]

i'm thinking about this

and the extended care program. its not clear to me what happens if you need it fixing. can you drop it off and pick it up at any walmart or do you have to mail to somewhere and have it mailed back?

clearly the dropoff option would be a lot easier for van dwellers with no mailing address. any idea?

I just clicked all the links and this is what I found.
(Some paraphrasing on my part)


Asurion (the service provider) will fix it in three days shipping included , (but not counted in the three days)
. If parts are needed but not available , they will refund your $27 !

PS; A guy parked next to me with one of those ,,,,,,,,,LOUD !!!!

I have yet to hear a consumer advocate recommend anything but "no extended warranty".

i have this gen, it wont start after only a handful of uses. I changed oil out as stated too. it also smeled of gas even when everything was off and clean

it wouldnt run an ac, but it did charge my batts and was pretty quiet. i couldnt hear it a couple parking spaces away, less if i stuck it behind the vehicle

so it sounds like you got it running then?

i wonder if this is any better

i guess i'll just have to go into walmart when i get over there, ask about how to get warantee service with no address
