Renewing warranty yearly?

Ryan@Motorwerks · 06-12-2008, 06:09 PM

Guys,

I keep getting phone calls from an automated machine that my warranty is about to expire and need to renew it to avoid costly repairs. Do you guys get these calls/ do you renew your warranty after 1 year of ownership?

I have never heard of this so I really need your help.

just call your SA and ask him when your maintenance and warranty expires. After you get that info, just ignore those automated calls.

I'd be willing to bet that those are aftermarket calls and are just scams or telemarketers. Your warranty is good for 4yrs/50,000mi, without renewal necessary.

i get them too, they are freakin annoying.

what i am more worried about is how they managed to get my phone number/info in the first place...

scott@bmwhn · 06-12-2008, 06:32 PM

i get the same call, its annoying as shit. its a third party, just have them take your name off the list

ive been getting these calls...almost every week now.

i ask them to take my name off the list, but then somehow they always just call me back...

today i asked again for them to have my number taken off the list once again. the man called me a ******. i said, Fuck You, YOUR a ******. and he hangs up..

GFG.

Scam?

Are you signed up for "do not call" list? If so, they can be heavily fined. Just log a complaint to your local DA.

I hope you know that when you are put on the "do not call" list, you are exposing yourself to even more lists that people can buy.

I just got one of those calls today, I thought it was someone else and I answered it and just hang up. I think it started with "Don't hang up." Whenever it says that, just hang up lol.

telemarketers for sure.
call them back and asked to be removed f/ their lists.

FrankiE90 · 12-05-2008, 06:05 AM

They have violated the do not call list too. It's a 3rd party that does this and apparently have denied claims from those suckers that actually purchased it.

Oh and they have finally stopped calling but took a long time even after I asked to be taken off. I would read some of the comments on this link to see how to get them to stop calling quicker.
