Are there any aftermarket warranties that are mod friendly (maybe at an extra cost) for tunes, suspension, etc.?

 

You're going to get plenty of responses from people saying "they have to prove that the modfication caused a failure in order to deny a claim," which is legally true, but rarely worth the hassle. Some people will mention that they have had positive experiences with certain companies, and others will post bad experiences. In my opinion, unless a car is bone stock (and sometimes not even then with some sleezy companies), don't expect to get approved on a warrany claim. There are no companies out there that will buy you a new engine if you're running 2 Bar of pressure. Any tuners that tell you their flash is "completely undetectable" are also selling you a line of goods. To be clear, I'm not against modding, and I have flashed my ECU, BUT I would never expect the expensive things to get covered if I needed a claim. If your window regulator breaks, sure they probably won't care if you have a flash, but I wouldn't pay for a warranty just in case I needed to make smaller claims like that. If your drivetrain isn't going to be covered 100%, you're pissing money away.

 

HI,The above 'could' be right and it is not set in stone.It all 'depends' on your repore with the dealer/repair shop and how tight he is with the warranty company,,,which leads me to say this on MY experiences......If the dealer sells/pushes that warranty you bought,he most likey will work with you on some of the labor or parts because usually the warranty company will not come out unless its a major claim,like motor or trans..Even then they might not if the ticket is written up the RIGHT way...All in all,our engines are pretty trust worthy and can take alot,its all the other stuff in and on the car that adds up.AND with those things,I have never had a claim denied even if my motors modified on all my other Porsches I have had.I had a super charger on my 2002 911 and all my claims were paid during that period.I even blew a motor on that after it was flashed[no super charger at first] and Porsche paid for a new one...Its up to you on if its worth it....There are two sides; those who did get token care of and those who have not or just heard they couldnt. ...BUT if you do not have a repore with your servicing dealer or repair shop,I would talk to the person,usually finance manager,to feel him out....I think this has helped also over the yrs,I have always tipped my service people and mechanics which then they have taken care of me..But understand everyone has there own morals and principals..Maybe I have been lucky but I know it was always worth it for me to have one.....Also shop around,there is a big mark up.On my 2004 turbo it ranged from $3500 to $6000.All of them were accepted at my servicing dealers.You have to find out about that before you buy one...Just my experience.......Good Luck...
