What is AA Auto Protection?
AA Auto Protection is an extended auto warranty broker, which means it helps you find a car warranty provider that meets your budget and needs. It connects customers with coverage for cars, trucks and SUVs. The company partners with United Car Care, Matrix Warranty Solutions, Royal Administration Service, DOWC and National Warranty Administration.
AA Auto Protection is not associated with AAA (the company known for its roadside assistance plans).
AA Auto Protection plans
AA Auto Protection offers dozens of different contract options across five levels of coverage. Options range from basic powertrain coverage to exclusionary (bumper-to-bumper) coverage.
| Coverage type | Number of plans available |
|---|---|
| Exclusionary (full coverage) | 7 |
| Premium stated component | 9 |
| Stated component | 10 |
| Premium powertrain plus | 7 |
| Premium powertrain | 6 |
Unfortunately, AA Auto Protection contracts tend to be a bit long and tricky to understand. Some are nearly 40 pages in length. It’s essential to read the entire contract and understand all the terms before you sign.
AA Auto Protection benefits
Your AA Auto Protection warranty comes with several benefits, including:
- The ability to choose any dealership or licensed mechanic for repairs
- 24-hour roadside assistance
- Rental car reimbursement
It’s worth noting that the rental car reimbursement is only $40 a day, up to $160. This isn’t a great rental reimbursement because it won’t cover the full cost of most rental cars.
AA Auto Protection warranties are transferable.
AA Auto Protection cost
The cost of AA Auto Protection’s exclusionary plans comes out to about 5 cents per mile of coverage. This isn’t a bad rate, but some car warranty companies charge as little as 2 cents per mile. AA Auto Protection has a price-match guarantee, though, so don't be afraid to ask for a better deal if you find an identical plan at a lower price with another company. The average down payment is also low — typically 2% of the total cost of the plan.
For an accurate idea of the price for a plan, go to AA Auto Protection’s website for a free quote. You’ll receive your quote by email in a few days, and the company explicitly states that it does not sell your personal information.
AA Auto Protection, like most other car warranty companies, has a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re still in the first 30 days of the contract and you change your mind, you can cancel your car warranty and receive a full refund. The company posts current specials on its website.
AA Auto Protection FAQ
Is AA Auto Protection affiliated with AAA?
No, the two companies are unrelated.
How do I cancel AA Auto Protection?
If you decide you don’t want AA Auto Protection, you can cancel within the first 30 days and receive your money back. After the first 30 days, you can cancel if you haven’t made any claims. There is a $100 cancellation fee in addition to any other cancellation fees specified in your contract.
Does AA Auto Protection administer car warranties directly?
No, AA Auto Protection is a broker that connects customers with companies that administer car warranties.
Still have questions?
Is AA Auto Protection worth it?
AA Auto Protection has fair prices, a simple quote process and a price-match guarantee, but its contracts are difficult to read and its rental car reimbursement isn’t great. The company’s customer reviews are mostly positive. If you’re willing to comb through your contract and shop around to take advantage of its price-match guarantee, you might be happy with AA Auto Protection.

Hi my name is Nelson **. I'm the owner of a Ford escape 2018, I leave this car at Mooresville Ford dealership, 151 E.Plaza Drive. On 01/24/2022 service advisor **. For weeks my claim has been sent to different departments of your company WITHOUT A WRITTEN RESPONSE TO MY CLAIM, my car engine is dead, already destroyed 2 vacuum pumps and almost kill my self. Please I need you to contact the dealer and some help with this claim, my income, car payments, insurance, everything in my financial situation is affected by this.
You can contact the dealer to: **. I'm sending a official complaint for deceptive contract to my consumer protection lawyer for bogus extended warranty, to the State attorney General, state consumer affairs board, my state auto dealer licensing office, state insurance regulator and Federal consumer financial protection bureau. I have a contract with your company for my car, I'm not a mechanic and the misleading and time, money and stress with this situation is not acceptable.

I listened to the sales pitch, then told them I would need to talk to my wife to discuss it. It was clear they didn't want me to do that and they continued to harass me to commit now. I told them I needed to do my homework and they told me I would be taken off the call list and my file would be closed if I did not commit on the spot. I told them thanks for the offer, but no thanks at that point and that they could close my file and take me off the list. The head guy Edward then told me he would not take me off the list and they would continue to call me until I opened up my wallet and committed to them and their warranty plan. At that point I said see ya later. I didn't buy anything, but with my experience I would say buyer beware! Seemed like a scam from the get go.

This company has been taking our monthly payments of almost $200 even up until yesterday for 6 months now. We received a notice in the mail a few weeks ago stating that the company is going out of business but will still uphold all current warranties. We received a certified letter in the mail last week stating that our warranties were being cancelled due to nonpayment. This letter was written over 6 months ago but not post marked until 02/25. The company will not answer. Instead has a voicemail. They refuse to respond to our calls. I have reported this as fraud to my bank. I have no faith I will get my money back but am hopeful to not lose any more. THIS IS A SCAM!!!!

Updated on 02/20/2020: Repeated voicemails to AA AUTO PROTECTION for over three days, still no return call from them. I was stuck paying the entire bill myself. I was a fool to purchase their extended auto warranty. Do not let them fool you, too. I wish I could give them negative stars. It would appear that being top-rated by both A.M. Best and ConsumerAffairs is meaningless.
Original review: I bought this warranty about 2014, shortly after I bought the car. My car now is sitting at the dealership service department. Both the service manager and I have been calling AA Auto Protection for over 24 hours, leaving voicemail messages several times---I have lost count. When you dial their number, all you get is an agonisingly long recording telling you how they just revamped their customer service to make it so much better! NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY! I WASTED MY MONEY---AND MY TIME---ON THIS OUTFIT!

I would have to say “BUYER BEWARE”. This is a company who has no problem taking your money however when it comes to placing a claim or getting into with customer service you can FORGET IT! We have called for a week straight trying to get through by using Katie’s ext ** and trying to do a new purchase just to get someone on the line. After about 11 mins it goes silent then sends you to a voice mail. SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!!

My credit card was charged 175.00 by this company and I did not authorize it. I was contacted over six months ago for a quote and never agreed to sign up for a policy. I have called the company several times and keep getting the run-a-round, the first rep claimed to not find a policy for me at all but had my email address in his system. Second rep, found my info using my cell phone number but could not give me any details on how the policy was opened nor could she cancel it as she did not work in that department. She said the cancellation department was closed for the holidays but would be open tomorrow (12/27). I will call again tomorrow and pray that the third time will be the charm. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and hope this company gets closed down (not before I get my refund though).

I purchased the coverage for my vehicle, paid the downpayment and canceled it a week later. I was told it was under the 30 day grace period so I'd receive a full refund and then a month later they took the monthly payment from my account and now won't return any of my calls.. I hope this review helps shed light on this fraudulent company.

Purchased an extended warranty on my husband's Rav4 in April that took effect in May. The car was totaled in an accident and we called to cancel and get our reimbursement. Followed the cancellation procedure and today 12-11-2019, we are still waiting for the refund. We paid over. $2600. with 2.5 weeks effectiveness. We are seniors in our 70's and are so frustrated and discontented with the treatment we are getting from Deena, Diana, Cory, David, Joseph and Manny. They continue to betray and deceit the customers with bogus statements. How this company is still in business is beyond me. Hopefully the negative complaints will ward off potential customers looking for extended warranty. Do your homework before purchasing. Don't get scammed by this company that is dishonest and misrepresented. The most horrible experience my husband and I have encountered while still waiting for our reimbursement.

I've purchased my 1st extended warranty on 02/03/2010 thru AA Auto Protect for my 2003 Mercedes SL-500 (VIN# **; the odometer reading at the time was 19,283 miles) with Gabe **, Ext#**. The coverage plan was 36/75,000 (months/miles) Royal New OEM Exclusionary Coverage with $100 deductible which Expired on 03/04/2013 for $2,485.00
When the coverage is about to expired, on 02/20/2013 I've contact my sales person Gabe **, Ext#** @ "AA Auto Protection" Tel: 888-222-4445 and purchased the 2nd extended warranty for the same car with a new coverage plan 60/48,000 (months/miles) PVP Premier which Expired on 03/21/2018 @ 93,199 miles with $100 Deductible for $2,995.00 (The car odometer reading at the time was 44,199 miles).
Again! When the 2nd extended warranty is about to expired, on 02/20/2018. Once again, I've contact my sales person Gabe **, unfortunately Gabe ** was no longer here this time, the new assigned sales person is "Joseph **" at Ext: **. Jose=Joseph suggested The Royal Administration Services Premium 60/100,000 with $250 deductible which would be best for my car and the cost for this coverage is $5,779. The monthly payment is $228.75 for 24 months with $288.95 down payment and my 2003 SL-500 odometer reading at the time was 62,427 miles.
The cost went up almost double versus the 2nd extended warranty and that made me wonder and contact a different company. Donald ** at Concord Auto Protect (888) 399-2811 ext#** gave me a quote price of $4,000 for a Premium Package with 5 years term + 50,000 miles from my current odometer at 62,427 miles.
After reviewed the 2 coverage from 2 different company, honestly I have no clue which one would be a better one, just because I am not a mechanic, and since I was with "AA Auto protect" for the last 8 years. So, I decided to stick with them 1 more time even know it would cost around $1,800 more and lesser mileages than Concord, and so I've purchased the coverage the next day thru Joseph ** at Ext#** on 02/21/2018 for $5,779.00. My wife's 2004 car has some issues here and there in recent years and since I haven't been working for more than 3 years, mine car mostly parked in the garage, and I've traded in my Mercedes SL-500 on 06/26/2019 for a newer used car for my wife to drive daily. At traded in on 06/26/2019, the odometer reading was at 65,314 miles and I’ve also declined the extended warranty offer for my newer used car.
Next day on 06/27/2019. I've contacted AA Auto Protection for a quote on my newer used car, I refused to talk to Joseph ** this time, because Joseph is very hard to get guy when you needed him, and so Corey ** @ Ext: ** provided me with a quote for my newer used car and also transferred me to cancel the previous policy with Deanna ** at ext#** in Fort Worth, Texas. Deanna who has been with the company for decade, she emailed me the instruction and documents needed to cancel the policy along with the address where to send to: Cancellation Dept. PO Box 1 Langhorne, PA 19047.
I've complied and sent in whatever AA Auto Protection requested and they would not send me anything in writing, and so I have to keep in touch with Deanna almost every single week. On Aug 1st, 2019. Deanna told me it was approved for a refunds of $2,171.79 and their refund documents is on the desk and the check should be ready to be mail out on Friday Aug 2nd. Honestly! I have no clue how they calculated for the refunds, because they have never send me anything in the mail, all I know is, as of June 2019, I’ve made a total of 16 monthly payment at $228.75/month plus a $99 processing, that is a total of $3,759.00 and they have only paid out $450.00 for 1 of my claim and the cost for the job was more than $2,200.00 of course I have to pay for the different.
I received nothing in 10 days to 2 weeks, so I have to keep bugging her=Deanna week after week, later on, I guessed she's getting tired of my phone call, she gave me her Boss "James ** at ext#**, the Director of Client Services" and asked me just to keep calling him. Regardless of how many calls that I've made and how many messages that I left, this guy will never return the call. Late of October, I have a feeling that they have made some kind of block to my cell, because their phone system has changed on me if I using my cell to call them, now I cannot call them and entered their extension# like it used to, I have to hit # to get to their policy cancel department.
Oct 24th, it's the first time that I started to deal with Diana ** in Chicago at Ext#** and now I've started to hear a different story that I have never heard of from Deanna ** in Fort Worth. Diana ** asked me to be patience, the check should arrive any day from now thru Nov 27th. Last Thursday 11/14th, she said she cannot get access to the system to see whether if the check has been sent and asked me to call her back Wednesday 11/20th, and I did, same story, she still cannot get access to the system.
This time, she told me, the company name now is AA Holding, which has purchased AA Auto Protect on May 1st this year, all the payments that I have made which was paid to AA Auto protect, not AA Holding, and she encouraged me to take the legal action thru AA Auto Protect if I wanted to. Meanwhile, AA Holding will still try to do the right thing, the company will still pay out as randomly, not 1st come 1st served like it should be. She now asked me to call her back this Friday 11/22nd.
I have to made 4 consecutive calls on Friday 11/22nd and wait forever and at the 4th times to get to Diana **, I would say time consume waiting on the phone was more than 2 plus hours. Again, same story, she couldn’t get access to the system, now she asked me to call her back this Wed. 11/27th, this date will be exactly 5 months old from the day that I submitted their request documents to cancel my policy. I have also confront with her this time: Will I see my money or I have already lost it, she said: You will see yours money.

I don’t even know where to begin. This warranty company is garbage. I purchased the elite plan for my f-150 and a year and a half later, my slip yoke needs repairs. They refuse to cover it, saying my warranty only covers “internally greased parts," yet that is literally what a slip yoke is. Once I clarified what the part was, they then said they wouldn’t cover the part because you have to cut a boot to access the part. They have Lied to me over and over again in regards to parts. I would not recommend this to anyone.

NISSAN Owners - DO NOT BUY. Regardless of what they tell you, this coverage will not cover your NISSAN vehicle transmission. On May 9th 2019, I purchased vehicle protection policy from AA Auto Protection. During the phone conversation, I expressed my needs, which were protection for my engine and transmission at the very least. After supplying the sale agent, Manny ** with all my full vehicle description (make, model, year, current mileage, etc), I was informed that the best package option would be the Powertrain Plus policy which covered the engine and transmission and a few other components. I agreed and we moved forward with the transaction.
Upon completing the transaction, I was sent an email confirmation with all my information including a link to the "full terms and Conditions" of the Powertrain Plus policy. I was told to review because I only had 30 days to cancel if I did not agree with the terms. So I did my part and read the terms of the package. The link led to the powertrain plus policy where it reads "For the most accurate and up to date description of coverage, please view the actual contract here". So that is what I did. I read the terms and was satisfied with the details.
Nearly 5 months later, my car transmission dies on me and I was shocked that my claim was denied when the facility they referred me to called in the claim to Matrix Protection. I was told that in section D, number 28, it read that all Nissan with a CVT transmission would not be repaired. EVERY NISSAN BUILT AFTER 2007 HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. I went back to the link to see how I would miss that very specific term that related directly to my 2010 Nissan Altima and there was no number 28 in section D at all. After days of calling Matrix and AA Auto Protection, and given the runaround. I was told that was an old version of the contract on the website and that I should have read my physical copy which was sent via mail. I am now without a vehicle and nowhere to turn.
I was told that once the sales rep puts in your vehicle information, that any coverage that would not apply to your vehicle would not pop up as an option at all, so I am trying to figure out how this coverage popped up when every Nissan made after 2007 has a CVT Transmission? I don't know about everyone else but I am pretty sure whoever seeks extended warranty, are folks just like myself. Working class who do not have enough money to repair an engine or transmission. Yet here I am. My hard earned money, down the drain. The repair for the transmission is $4700 and I don't have that kind of money. This is what I get for actually reading the terms as soon as I received it via email instead of waiting for it to come in the mail I guess. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and I refuse to let this happen to any other customer if I can help it.

Dear Consumer, think long and hard before signing up with this company. Make sure that you read all of the reviews. I purchase a policy 1 year and 3 months ago, in June 2019 I cancel because I upgraded my car. Called the company to see if one they received my cancellation notice and if there any type of refund. The rep was rude, stated that I only held the policy for 6 months and that they did not have a send a letter responding to my inquiry. I told him I would write a review about my experience and he stated that he would report me to the police. Since I work with the consumer and know the rules I told him to do that. Based on other reviews of this company, One needs to think long and hard before using them. I will not call on them again.

I purchased an extended warranty from them and after seven days decided to cancel. It has been a nightmare since. I continue to receive past due notices from both AA and Mepco (their billing firm) even after emailing numerous times that I cancelled and asked for a refund of my initial payment. All I get is passing the buck. Fortunately I noticed my bank not to accept any requests for payment since I was on auto pay. Beware of the sales people, they will promise you anything to sign you up and then you are on your own. Next step for me is legal action and filing a complaint with consumer affairs.

So I bought a policy from this company on Feb the 6th 2019. After a month and more than a 1000 miles of driving as the policy states. I took it to Lexus dealer to check on the fan of the AC it stopped working - by the way I asked Katie (sales person for AA Auto Protection) about the engine, transmission and AC - and she confirmed that the policy that I bought after that conversation are all included - now when I took the car to the dealer they refused to fix the AC, and when I called Katie she said, "Oh I do not know why your claim was denied, you should email your case administrator," wait what?!!! So when you want to sell us your service you call us 20 times per hour and when we file a claim you cannot contact the agent you can only email him??!! So basically it is a scam. They will not fix your car. DO NOT BUY. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Transmission failure 2010 Malibu 6t45. The most disappointing thing about the extended warranty from AA Auto Protection is they are putting in a used transmission from LKQ with a 90 day warranty.

This is the second time I have had this company warranty. And for the second time they do not honor my policy. They said my fuel pump went out because of something else that is not covered by the warranty so they refused to repair the fuel pump. So if you are not a mechanic you do not know all the parts then. It took 5 days for inspectors come out one more day for them to check it. And the third day they told me that they will not honor my warranty because something else made the problem go bad. So they will not honor none of the policy. Try to cancel the policy and no I cannot find anyone to notarize a letter stating the mileage because they do not provide a legal document for me to get this paper notarized. Been calling for 3 days. Still have not received the paperwork.

These people could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman in a white dress.

I started my contract 12/3/2018. Katie was the lady I spoke with. She spoke so highly of the company in which in return sold me. She then asked me how many miles was on the vehicle. I told her I was not sure as I was currently driving another vehicle and I do have 3 cars so not sure of the mileage. Katie stated to just guess the mileage. I stated to her, "I don't know maybe 4800 or 4900."
Well, later found out she put 5100. I go to get vehicle fixed, and was informed can't be fixed due to mileage discrepancy. I was so confused. After contacting the warranty company, I was informed the contract said 5100, and the dealership is showing 5180. I informed them what they had was not accurate. I informed them what I told Katie. I even reached out to Katie and she stated she was going to fix it and send me the updated warranty. Never happened and did not hear from her until several days later. She then acted dumbfounded and stated she can pull the recorded conversation. I was like okay.
My vehicle has been in the shop over 2 weeks due to the mileage. I was told to provide documents showing the mileage on it. I did that. Provided everything I was told to provide. Then they came back and said they needed something totally different from what was originally stated. They needed a work order close to date starting contract. Ummm my vehicle didn't need to go to the shop so no I had nothing to show. But what they needed always changed. Then they stated they can cancel my contract due to this. I said, "Why, it is your fault not mine." So I asked them to cancel.
Every time I call now I am being transferred to different people, if the phone do not all of a sudden disconnect on their end. I informed them I have had warranty companies in the past, and by far they are the worse. I eventually went and got my vehicle. Still haven't heard back from them about cancelling. This is so sad to treat your customers this way. So embarrassing. And they also said if my mileage was right still it might not be covered. Never...

This company has been awful. After paying them for a year, we needed a new transmission. However they will only put a junkyard transmission into our vehicle. They said their only requirement is make sure it runs again to get us back on the road. In contract they are suppose to cover up to 10,000 dollars, but are now saying they will only cover 2200. And that the administrator gets to make those decisions. I wish we would have never given this company a dime. They tell you what you want to hear to get your money but when the time comes that you need it, they do not cover what they are supposed to.

July 17 2017 I started coverage for my recently purchased car (used). I was denied coverage on 3 separate incidents regarding repairs. Aug 2018 ~ I called about cancelling my contract and spoke with Deanna. The documents requested was mailed in 2 days later. It must be stated how impossible it is to contact the individuals responsible for the refund process. Oct 30th ~ I spoke with a sales rep named David that stated my refund wasn't processed correctly. Same day I spoke with Deanna who stated I should get a notice within 5-10 business days. Nov 19th ~ still nothing, I left a voicemail for Mr. **. Nov 26th ~ (still no return call from **) I spoke with Deanna who stated she doesn't have any update on my process or an estimate of an amount and to email the manager **. Email sent.
As of today (Dec 6th 2018), no email or call back from Mr. ** and I cannot get in contact with Deanna as usual. Sales rep Kyle has no answers and forwards me to a voicemail. I call back and speak to a second sales rep, Manny, still no answers and claims there is no one else I can speak to. Customer service emailed. I deposited $1000.00 at the start of my coverage trusting this company with my vehicle and was denied 3 times. I was enrolled in autopay and ever had an issue with payments in the year I was covered. I haven't and shouldn't have to resort to daily calls, voicemails, or emails to get any information regarding what's going on.
It is unbelievable how bad this business is with handling this process. Then to be told that there is no one above Mr. ** or anyone besides Deanna that I can speak to and I am left to chase two people that will not return calls or emails with me. I find it hard to believe that such bad practices and a team of people handling this situation so unprofessionally does not have a corporate to answer to. To those doing their research, take these reviews seriously and do not conduct business with this company. Read the contract fine print. You are certainly better off saving money for repairs instead. I won't say it's a scam but it feels like one. Signing up with AA Auto Protection was one of those worst decisions I could've ever made.

In our service contract the engine is a covered named part; however, when our 2004 Isuzu Rodeo's engine ate itself - They refused to cover it. A bolt - integral to the engine and interior to the engine broke and destroyed the interior and now the entire engine and some other parts need to be replaced/repaired. We were asked to provide proof of all maintenance and oil changes. Over 70 pages of documentation was submitted. First, Juan said the bolt was an excluded part - but when we reviewed the contract he changed what he said and it is Not a Named Covered Part. The Dealership/Mechanic says the bolt is part of the engine and you don't get an engine without the bolt.

When the manufacturers warranty on our 2011 Honda Pilot ran out, my husband researched different companies to purchase an extended warranty. This company had a very high rating, offered a product that he liked, so he called and purchased the warranty. The contract would be effective until Feb 2020 or 105,000 miles. This was also to be a transferable warranty. On September 15, we sold our Pilot to a dealership, and the warranty was not transferable to a dealership. I contacted AA on October 4, 2018 and was told what I needed to do to cancel the warranty. On that same day, I mailed the letter and a copy of the odometer reading at the time of sale that was obtained from the dealership.
When I hadn’t heard anything further, I started trying to contact AA. I chose the option that I was an existing customer and repeatedly was left listening to elevator music until the call finally rolled over to voicemail. No calls have been returned. I called AA again today, and instead of choking the option of existing or new customer, I just let their phone message play through. After less than 30 seconds a gentleman answered and asked how he could help. I explained the situation to him and he stated, “Oh, let me transfer you to that department.” I listened to elevator music for 15 more minutes before the music stopped, without anyone ever answered the call. As best I can figure, they owe me approximately $650. Tomorrow I contact the FTC.

Talked to Josh when asking about coverage. Said I could pay $49.00 and easily refunded if I changed my mind about it. I changed my mind within 30 mins and canceled the policy, called many times for my refund, nothing. Finally went to my bank, to fill out papers. They are liars. Don't deal with them. Just stay away. Still waiting for my refund.

June 6, 2018 canceled my warranty after being in effect since June 26, 2017. Followed directions exactly for the canceling of this policy including a notary seal. Sent cancellation USPS return receipt requested for my protection. Deanna ** informed me I would receive refund by check. On August 9th and 10th left message at extension ** which is Deanna **. No returns calls. On August 13 reached Deanna ** and was informed my refund is for $502.26. On September 5, 2018 spoke with Deanna ** and now they wanted my banking information for the refund. No, I want my refund credited to my Discover Card you have on file ending in my last four digits which AA Auto Protection has for their prior automatic monthly payments. September 13th, 14th, 17th left message for Deanna ** with no return phone call.
September 18 was able to reach Deanna **. Asked for the person in charge of the refunds which is Jim ** extension **. Left message for him to phone me or refund me my dollars. No return phone call. 9/18/18 emailed Deanna ** regarding my refund. 9/19/18 left message again for Jim **. Spoke to Deanna **. She has no answers but has informed me it has nothing to do with me doing something wrong. 9/20/18 Left message and finally after several attempts reached Deanna **. Jim ** to refund mine and several other people within one day. I was assured that this company does not have a cash flow problem. 9/21/18 Deanna ** Jim ** to push the button and refund monies today. 9/24/18 Left message and I phoned back again for Deanna **. She stated Jim (**) on Friday did the refunds. He told her "done."
I asked her if he batched the refunds. She told me I that I know what I'm speaking about but she doesn't have that information. 9/25/18 Deanna ** is not answering her phone and neither is Jim ** (left message again). I have been told this company has been working on other things and as not had time to refund my money. In addition, I have been told there is no cash flow problems. And I keep getting the runaround. There is something wrong with this company when they cannot uphold their own contract when they expect the consumer to follow their policy.
I am still waiting for my refund as of 9/25/18. My concern is this company continues to write policies and may continue to hold their customers' refunds. I want my refund of $502.26 credited to my Discover Card as agreed to ASAP as their warranty states. "After 30 days if canceled with no claims a refund is issued for the prorated unused portion of the service contract coverage." I had Zero claims.

They charge me almost 4k for the best protection with them and the first time I tried to use to replace a shifter assembly thru my authorized dealer, they said that it's not covered. Call them a few times. Had a dropped call couple times and they sent me a bunch of things that you have to do to cancel the contract. This is a scam. Be aware!!!

I purchased extended warranty with this scam company and paid extra for seals and gaskets. Took my car in for work and sent an appraisal adjuster to investigate my claims which were leaking seal. To my surprise they denied my car though I am paying extra for seals. Contacted them and referred to the cancellation department. Sent all the documents they require and to my surprise no refund!!! Sent 4 letters as of 13 Sept 2018 no response or refund!!! How can the BBB give them a high rating? I will do the same as the last person and do whatever I can to lower their rating and have their rating drop to 1 star!!! Next stop news media!!!

I purchase a warranty from this company and I am still waiting to have my car repaired. They was going to send an inspector to make sure that the dealer's service department was correct on what needed to be repaired. I asked the company was this going to occur on every work order if something needs to be repaired and they stated yes. This the first warranty company I dealt with that ever wanted to inspect every claim made to repair my car. Beware of this company, once you purchase this warranty it is very difficult to cancel after 30 days.

I purchased a auto protection plan from AA Auto Protection. Matt ** was my consultant. I gave a down deposit and the payments were not supposed to come out until a month later. A week later I actually purchased a new vehicle and called Matt and cancelled the protection plan because obviously I now have a brand new vehicle and don't have that other vehicle anymore. Well that month past and they took the money out anyways. And I checked back on my bank account and they never refunded me the down deposit! I have called several times now and NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON IS HELPING ME! So now I am contacting my bank to dispute the charges and cancel any more charges from this company!!! And this is not a 24 hour company either, so I hope you never need a tow or help after hours!

AVOID--AVOID--AVOID! I filled out an online questionnaire seeking quote for auto warranty. Requested email quote. Received a few phone calls. Called back and left message on their answer phone to please not call, just email quote. Again another call and message. Called back, call was connected and then I had to wait 5/6 seconds for a man to begin speaking. After providing my name and that I was returning his call he indignantly asked what the call was in reference to?
Annoyed and now hostile, I said, "**, I don't appreciate hanging on for several seconds and said that I had left a message for email contact." He abruptly said he did not appreciate my language. Politely I told him that I wished not to do business with he or his firm, to please remove my name and email address from their records and said goodbye and disconnected the call. With a minute I then received a deluge 14+ until I was able to block the incoming emails from Matthew. Very poor telephone skills. 0/10, with 10 being best, AA Auto registers a ZERO.

I purchased a auto warranty which I was told by John ** was Platinum Bumper to Bumper. Now when I had my bumper to bumper from the dealership there was no problem if something went that was covered by the warranty. It was paid for after I paid my deductible. Well I had made sure that when I went looking for a warranty on my new Jeep I told John I wanted the same warranty. He assured me that this Platinum coverage was the one I was looking for so I bought this warranty back in 2016. Well this weekend for the first time I needed to use this warranty. I paid my deductible which was 100.00 dollars. My jeep dealer called the warranty company to get approval and was told that they would only give them a certain amount that the Jeep repair shop was asking for too much.
Now he told me that this is what it cost them for the parts and that after what the warranty company would pay them that I would have to also pay another 180.00 beside the 100.00 deductible that I had already paid. Never mind the 2200.00 I paid for the Platinum policy. So what am I suppose to do? Run around to different shops to find someone who will do it for what this warranty company is willing to pay? This is a complete ripoff that they are pulling. Now I'm out 2200.00 dollars plus the 100.00 deductible. My jeep hasn't been repaired. I am also putting a complaint in with the Better Business and also John ** doesn't even have the courtesy to call me back.

Receive notice from my bank the refund check was returned. NSF would not clear 4-10-18. Ran twice and did not clear, then ran check again 4-12-18 and did not clear, I got the copy of check back 4-16-18 and called AA Auto and they said they would reissue my check with increased $10.00 NSF I was charged. 1-800-222-4445 ext ** DENNA. She attempted to offer a direct deposit but needed my account number, and I refused to give her my bank account number. Then she offered to put the refund on my credit card but needed my credit card number to do that. I refused again and told her I wanted a Cashier’s check for my refund.
She had the least concern and told me, "We don't do cashier’s checks here. You'll just have to wait if you don't want us doing a direct deposit to your bank." End of conversation and I told her I will be looking for the refund check in the mail then. She did not say when my refund would be reissued either. I called back today 4-19 -2018. Asked when my check would be mailed and avoid to answer with reminding me, “We already talked 2 days ago about this and you will get it mailed cause you don't want us depositing it in your bank.” Again I demanded when is my check going to be mailed, when??? Then I was put on hold about a minute, and then told, the check will be mailed today (Today 4-19-2018). AA Auto refunds are sponsored with a parent company IVY LEAGUE International LTD, Longhorn, PA. 19047. The bank name Commerce no longer exist but merged under TD Bank Longhorn, PA. Phone 1-215-757-1891.
I called this bank 4-17-18 and confirmed that this account had enough to cover my bounced check and he said he did not know why that happened. Now this parent company is my next step. AA Auto has shady employees??? Question this whole heartily and there is nobody yet to fix my dilemma, and oh yes I hope the police does take action soon, I have been in contact with them as well. Nor did I get a break down of my refund calculations either.

March 16, 2018. I Purchased a car in 2014. At about 1-2 weeks later I purchase a warranty with AA Auto Protection Lienholder Omnisure Group. Since then I only had two issues with the car and they refuse to pay both claims or only paid for certain things. They say due to wear and tear or item not covered under this warranty. I wish they would really explain the type of coverage that you are getting yourself into before purchasing. I feel like this warranty was a waste of money on my end. Any car with over 60000 miles has wear and tear. This is the absolute worst company I've ever dealt with in my life. I went by Consumer Affairs and that's why I bought the warranty. I will do whatever I take to give them bad reviews. I purchase a warranty for peace of mind not a headache. Now I will probably have to purchase another car because I can't afford to pay about $3500 worth of work because of nuts and bolts are not covered.
They tell you, "All you have to do is go to a dealership, show them your warranty card and we will handle the rest." That did not happen. Not even one time. I want people to be aware of this company because all they do is take people's money and no further. I will be posting ads everywhere about this company. I've never dealt with anybody like this ever in my life. By the way one star is too much. What a waste of $1.740.00. Thanks for nothing.

I cancelled my coverage per the terms and conditions and sent the necessary documentation as outlined in the coverage documents (also confirmed with representative - name available and actual email correspondence is saved). Agent keeps telling there is no problem and I should receive a check and I have not received the check. I have been following up since beginning of February, recently tried reaching out to supervisor Mr. ** multiple times and no response or has never answered the phone. I have confirmation that they received the documentation on 19-Dec-2017. My complaint is that they haven't refunded the amount they owe me per the contract terms. It seems it has happened to lot of consumers. Not sure how many consumers just gave up on their $2K and the company just made some unethical money from them!

I originally order extended auto service, extended coverage in January 26, 2018, with a down payment for $99.00. However, after receiving the contract registration booklet, I decided to call and cancel my coverage on February 13, 2018. I was told that I would have my refund credited to my account within 10 days. Per the contract terms on page 10 of their booklet it states: Cancellation requests received within the first thirty (30) days will received a full refund, less any approved claim amounts. I called back on Tuesday, February 27th, and the CSR answering the phone transferred me to voicemail. I left a message requesting a callback. No response. On Thursday, March 1st, going through their audio response system, press the options to get transferred for cancellation and left another message. No response.
On Friday, March 2nd, called the Service Contract Administration found on page 12 of AA Auto Protection Contract booklet, only to be told that the contract was NOT yet canceled and was still active. On Monday, March 5th, called again, this time getting a young lady who told me that my account was canceled and was going to transferred my call to her boss. He had told me that a credit had been issued previously, and he would e-mail me documentation to give my back regarding this transaction. However, when I did get his e-mail, the credit issued for the full amount of $99.00 was dated March 5, 2018, the date of his email. These people do not response to voicemail or email when left with them. Totally disgusted with this poor customer service and glad I have canceled my account.

We spoke with Diana and she and her supervisor were very prompt in getting us our refund. They truly are a good and reputable company to deal with. Once our financial situation is where we want it, we plan on picking back up the plan. Thanks AA Auto Protection, we will be back and will also recommend you to our friends.
