Warranty Transfer

[miahhough]

Thanks everyone. Leaving tige i was worried about not having their forum but this one has been very helpful as well. Hopefully I'll be able to provide help to others one of these days!

Is there a way to get around the "transfer fee"? It seems to be just a money grab by the dealer. The price of the transfer seems ridiculous. I have transferred power sports warranties for free.

The fee is levied by the respective manufacturers....dealer may charge a little labor.

I would agree. The dealer has costs (and would charge fees) for the paperwork, hooking up the ecm to read, and compression check.

From what I was told by 3 dealerships, the Indmar transfer is a flat rate at which the dealership makes warrantee shop time and labor according to what is specified in the Indmar service agreement.

SC also has a flat rate, and the dealership determines the labor rate and fees for the transfer. The hull inspection takes between 15-30 minutes if the boat is in good shape. 10 minutes of entering info into the warrantee system, and that’s it.

This still doesn't convince me the fee of 1500 is just... few hundred or up to 500 sure... but more than that. Labor is labor i get it. Whats shop rate? 115? 150? a hour? Its just the dealer and manufacture being greedy. If they want more money then SC and indmar should charge more for their warranties in the beginning.

I think $800 or $900 of it is factory levied fee.

$900 goes to indmar (100% ripoff money grab)
I think $250 goes to SC, also a money grab but not as bad.
The rest is your dealers time which is not a money grab it's just labor that they have to pay for.

But no, no way around it.

Mine was not 900–it was less than that by a good margin. And this was a transfer on my 2020 SL in August. My Indmar was about what you said.

Sounds like we all should use your dealer for transfers. They sound like they are being closer to fair than most.
