    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    This might help...with the benefit of that first experience, the payment transaction just completed even more easily for a door handle and front suspension work. The sequence that worked for me: 1) Call Xcare to get email info for your agent. Give them a heads up there will be a claim. That's...

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    I didn't know anything about the MCU2 being hard-to-get. The way the SC put it to me (and another customer ahead of me in the covid line) was that MCU1 refurb at $900-odd could take weeks vs the MCU2 tomorrow. No brainer.

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    Cookie I see your point...but wrong. I took the opportunity to answer the question put, honestly, based on my experience. On the business hours: If you need help outside of 8-5 weekdays you are out of luck. For the rest it is all good. The diagnosis and repair took 2 weeks it was so odd...

    Real life experience with Xcelerate warranty?

    Yes - purchased last fall along with my '15 S85D. I put over 30k miles on it since then. Last month an apparently bad plug connection in the trunk caused the MCU to lose it's mind, bricking my baby. Dealing with Xcelerate was a joy, starting with recovery which they would have arranged and...
