What the heck dude? Would you like a goos who lays golden eggs?

You bought an extended warranty. Was it a bumper-to-bumper kind, or was it just powertrain?

I mean, how can you honesty think that warranty should cover diagnosis for something not covered by the warranty? If it's a warranty repair, then yeah, they cover the diagnosis because it's all part of the warranty coverage. But why should they cover it if it's not warranty work?

And you are seriously dreaming if you think you'll ever get a warranty to cover all diagnoses...people would be streaming in and out of the dealer every day getting this or that oddball thing "checked out" because it's covered under warranty to have it diagnosed, even if it's something like "you left your headlights on, so now your battery is run down." I mean, it would be no end of cost to the dealer and DC to offer that sort of set-up.
