    The rep I worked with was very informational. He went over all the best options that I could possibly get into, because it was an issue with me doing the down payment. He came up with a payment plan that I was able to get into so that I could have my car covered.

    Reviewed Feb. 23, 2023

    I was looking for the best coverage at the best price, and I also was careful about the reviews that I was looking at. It seemed like folks were happy with American Dream, so I talked to them, we negotiated, and they gave me a better deal than what they advertised, so I went for it. The payment was tricky because they wanted a credit card and I try not to use credit cards. I had to break it up between two debit cards. So, that was a bit of a pain, but it worked out.

    I did get something in the mail going over the coverage, and there are some things that aren't covered that I didn't realize weren't covered when I talked to them. Part of that is to be expected because it was several pages of information. So, the biggest frustration for me with them is it's gonna be difficult for me to remember all my information. There's no account to log into as far as I know. It's all paper. So if I lose those papers, I would have to try to find their phone number again. There's no log-in information and there's no website that you can log into as far as I know.

    My other problem is that it's still unclear, if I end up needing maintenance, there are several mechanics in town who don't do warranty work at all. They said I could send it to any AMA-certified mechanic, but that's not quite true because some of them won't deal with insurance or warranty companies. So, that was a bit of a bummer.

    A very polite gentleman in New York walked me through everything, and we agreed. I took the higher policy that was offered. American Dream Auto Protect wanted it in three installment payments initially for the three-year contract, but I couldn't do that. They were able to get me a monthly payment instead. They were easy to deal with. The process went very smoothly. I had my binder within two weeks. The gentleman provided me with his contact information in case I had any issues that arose.

    I was talking with one of the representatives at American Dream and everything seemed to go smoothly. He offered me a great price because that supposedly covered 100% for everything. He split up my payments into three payments for the total of about almost three grand and we were scheduled every month that we would take out those three payments until I reach my full payment. But in between of those things, one of his colleagues ended up charging my account which ended up turning my checking account into zero.

    First of all, they should never have taken it out that day and whoever he was working with went along and ran my payment. I immediately called him and I was very upset, because now I had to cancel my account. My bank called me and asked if it was fraud or if I approved of it. I said I was not going to approve of it, especially if I didn't have the funds there. So, if I was not going to approve it, they were going to freeze my account. Now everything that my account has been attached to is not going to get paid and that really ticked me off. The following month, again, another person went ahead and did the same thing. He charged my card not on the date that they're supposed to. So, I'm not happy with them right now. I contacted the person who was helping me out and left a message with him. He never even bothered to call me back to apologize or to explain to me what had happened.

    For a while, they already had my business. But they kept calling and trying to get me to get a contract that I already had one. So their CRM clearly wasn't working right. I had one claim where I had some electrical unit that had to be replaced, but they didn't cover that. Also, if something happens, you have to pay for the diagnostic testing. But they should be paying for the diagnostic testing to find out if something's wrong if you have to take the car in.

    After the rep and I discussed over the phone, I asked him if he could email me some information. He said, "Sure, after we set up the policy," which was weird, but I went with it. And then, he processed the first payment. After I hung up, he emailed the contract. The rep was upfront with everything but I like to see things before I sign it and proceed. People should make sure to ask a lot of questions and if you get a reminder if you're doing an installment payment, make sure you double-check that you already made the payment instead of making duplicate payments. I've received multiple emails stating that they didn't receive my payment, but when I checked my bank, it was already gone. It happened twice already. Still, American Dream Auto Protect has great customer service.

    I contacted the ConsumerAffairs because I wanted to get an extended warranty, and American Dream Auto Protect called me. The representative was awesome. He was really nice. I also got a second representative that had a different promotion, and they gave me the better promotion. They offered a three month plan where I can pay for the warranty over three months.

    I signed up with them about a month ago, and the only thing I was concerned about is that the plan doesn't cover the battery. I have an electric vehicle and the plan is geared towards gas vehicles, but it covers the electrical components in the electric vehicle. Still, I would like to see them do more with the electric vehicles or have a plan that is specific to electric vehicles and not one that's modified.

    There are not a lot of companies that would insure an expensive car like a Bentley. I was running out of time. I put in Google, “Who would ensure an extended warranty on a Bentley," and American Dream Auto Protect came up first. They have nice presentations so I called and got the warranty. The bill comes a month later on my American Express card and it was the same date and the same amount of money, $3,600. I thought there must have been a mistake and they double charged by accident.

    I called American Dream Auto Protect because they had to process the payment as two charges. In the end, they didn't duplicate the charge. The only thing was, the guy I got wasn't very easy to talk to on the follow-up call. When he sold me the policy, he couldn't have been lovelier and more helpful. He was very thorough and he answered all the real pertinent questions without me even asking them. He really gave me the pros of going with that and it was covering everything you get concerned about, so the big ticket items. Also, it was nice that I had his direct line.

    But when I called back, I couldn't get the guy to talk to me on the phone. It was like, “You got my money and now you're running.” I was a little put out. I made the mistake because they split the charge into two payments because they can't charge over $5,000. I was a little miffed that somebody would treat somebody like that after they just spent over $6,000 on an insurance policy on the car. I asked, “Is it five years or a 10-year policy?” It was like pulling teeth to find out anything. That guy needs to work on his follow-up.

I had to upgrade to new Model Y, So I requested for warranty cancellation and refund. It has been 45 days since I sent in the cancellation form and have not seen the refund. I have been calling every week at least once and I have been given various excuses like Accounting is looking into it, send a check out on 16th October, overnighted a check on 6th of Nov and most recently that they sent a refund check on 11/10 and that I should receive it today ie 11/13. So please don't fall for them. Not sure how the warranty service would be if you run into repairs. Since then I have told 3 of my friend not to buy from these guys and I would not anymore trust them paying thousands of dollars.

    American Dream Auto Protect is terrible. They made the policy sound really good and that they would give me a really good bargain. It was a pressure sale. It was like, "If you don't sign up now and you call us back later, we can't guarantee the same price." I found that Ford offered the same type of situation for my car at a much more reasonable rate, and it was interest-free, only 24 months. So I called the next morning to cancel. When I called, the rep who was very nice to me the day before was all upset with me. He said, “How can you cancel? That's not right.” It was a high pressure type thing.

    He said he will send my call off to another person and they would call me. That person asked me the reason why I cancelled and I said their warranty was more expensive. The rep said that they would email me a cancellation notice. I printed it out and signed it. I scanned it into my computer and sent it right back to them within an hour. It took me I don't know how many weeks to get my money back. The only reason I got it back was because I put a stop payment. Then, lo and behold, the sales guy who sold me the warranty called me. He said, “Why would you do something like that?” He started cursing at me. It was one of the worst experiences I've had with any kind of company.

    A Range Rover is expensive as far as the services. I found American Dream Auto Protect and they covered Range Rovers and foreign cars so I started inquiring. It was sketchy in the beginning. I was in a position where I was desperate to get this coverage because nobody would cover a Land Rover and I was trying to have some security. I spoke to one guy the first time and he gave me a price. I made a call back a week later and another guy gave me another price. I was like, “Okay. Well, if you got on on this price, then I can go with it.” They were so eager to do it. But once I paid for it, they were hard to contact.

    I wanted to take my truck and get it serviced. It was for a service that was covered under my warranty. I took my truck to the people that I took it to, told them that I had it insured, and gave them my information, and they called American Dream. When I went back to get my truck, they said that they tried for two days but couldn't get in contact with anybody.

    I called American Dream for two days straight. I called customer service and they were running me in circles. They couldn't give me any information and they were not allowed to give out information about me. I've been scammed a couple of times so I am sort of wary of people like that. Finally, they called me back and apologized. I took my truck back and they contacted my mechanic. When they were supposed to go with the ordering and put my order through and get the truck done, they didn't answer the phone.

    My truck is sitting there again without authorization through them to be serviced. I was fed up with it. I called American Dream and again, I was given a whole bunch of hoopla about why they weren't answering. I said, “I get it, man. If I paid y’all $4,000, man, I just expect some kind of interaction.” They said everything was good.

    At the time, it was about to be a ** holiday and the rep said, “I'm gonna tell you now we're not gonna be available for the next two days. So, we'll get in touch with you like Wednesday to try to get this order filled, and for you to get your truck fixed.” But he never got in contact with me so I just canceled the service. I spoke to a guy named Mark and I got a couple of guys’ names that I was speaking with too. They were assuring me that everything was gonna be fine. I really need that service because it'll cut my expenses by almost 100%. But they kept dragging and snatching my chain.

    Everybody was great and friendly at American Dream. But they are a company for people with money sitting around. They’re bumper-to-bumper. Everything was exactly what I wanted, but they just make no arrangements for payments. I purchased a vehicle that I paid cash for so didn't have much money. I was looking for a service plan that would allow me to make payments over time. American Dream wanted a grand upfront and a grand for four months straight. I told them I wouldn't have it and they said they would work with me. They took $100 and I said, “I'm not going to have $1,000 in a month but I will make a payment.”

    I had the car for a little over a week and a guy from American Dream called me and it was a collection call. It made me so uncomfortable that I peeked out the window to make sure my car was there. That's how hard he came at me. He was not disrespectful or rude, but I did not need to be concerned about anything financial. I was ready to make the payments monthly, but I knew I couldn't do what they wanted so I just had to let it go.

    Setting up my package was a really easy process to go through. The rep guided me through the different plans that they have. I was really impressed with the amount of coverage that we received. I had to use it one time and I was a little nervous because I had reached out to American Dream before I took the vehicle in. I drive a Mercedes and they pick it up for me so it saves the company money on that end. I wanted to make sure that we were going through the right process to get the vehicle evaluated. Once I got to the dealership, they told me what to do as far as having it diagnosed and Mercedes getting in contact with them. But we went several days where we weren't able to get in touch with American Dream either on my end or on Mercedes'.

    When we finally got in touch with them, they didn't want to cover the claim. So, I had to explain that taking a vehicle in to have it diagnosed is like going to the doctor. The dealership is always gonna give everything they think might be wrong with it even though you as a consumer know that's not wrong with your vehicle. Once I explained that to them, they were okay with it and covered everything. After we got over that hurdle, the associate at Mercedes was impressed with American Dream. I definitely recommend them but you have to be your own advocate and sometimes guide employees through understanding the diagnostic test and let them know what happened.

    I used American Dream Auto Protect but got a runaround. My air conditioner went out on my car. They told me to take it to a shop. I took it to a shop and they wanted to talk to American Dream because they had never heard of them before. They talked to them and explained that it was a $150 diagnostic fee. They agreed to fix my car for me. They put me back on the line and the guy told me I gotta pay $150. I told him my deductible is only $50. He said, "You gotta pay for the estimate. If we decide we're gonna pay for the repairs, then we'll pay that too." I said, "What do you mean you get to decide what to repair? I've got bumper to bumper warranty on my whole car. There's no you deciding. That's what I bought. That's what you told me I was getting, and now you're telling me that my $50 deductible is crap and I've gotta pay $150 off the bat. If you decide that you don't wanna pay for it, I lose that $150, and I don't get my car fixed."

    I've asked for my money back. It's been three weeks, but they haven't made any type of move. I turned it over to my bank, and they're trying to get my money back now. If they don't do it, I'll see my lawyer about it. I'm also gonna file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau unless I get my money back right away. I got their best plan which cost me $2,000, but I'm still driving with a busted air conditioner. Whenever you call in to their membership line and talk to somebody to report a claim, nobody ever answers. You get an answering machine. Every time I've talked to somebody, I've had to go through the purchase department.

    I have my 2013 Subaru covered with American Dream. The cost is really high but the plan stuff they offer is pretty good. The only thing I have issues with is the first time I talked to them, they were very pushy. It ended up me and the first guy getting into it on the phone because he kept pushing and pushing, and I said, "Well, let me think about it because it is a lot of money just for an extended warranty." I also said, "I don't use a bank or anything, I'm all cash. I don't believe in banks." He said, "Well, then how about you go get a prepaid card and pay it?" I was like, "Well, let me have a couple of days to think about it." He said, "Well, if you don't do it today, then the price is gonna go up."

    Then I said, "I'm gonna have to get a prepaid card to pay it when I wanted if I decide to get it." He said, "I don't believe it. Everybody has a card." I said, "I don't believe in banks, I don't believe in credit cards." He just kept going and going. Finally, he was like, "You don't need to lie to me. If you don't want to, just tell me." I was like, "Dude, you're barking at the wrong tree. Don't come at me like that." He was like, "Well, then I just don't think you want it." He bothered me for a month straight. He was very persistent and very rude.

    When I first went to do it, it was like $1,800. It was $900 upfront and $900 in payments. Then, when they called me back a month later, it was $3,600 and payments of 700 something dollars a month. I said, "That's kinda awfully high, steep." He was like, "Yeah, but nobody can give you a good discount like this." I said, "Am I gonna get a receipt? Am I gonna get paperwork showing my claim or my warranty, everything like that?" I haven't received anything. I've called them five times trying to get the paperwork, and nobody answers their phone. I have a policy number, but I don't have any paperwork. I have no information on this. They're very persistent to take the money, but for them to get you the paperwork and stuff that you need to carry, I haven't received it yet.

    According to them, they cover everything and if ever there's anything wrong, I just take my vehicle to the dealership and they will make the repairs. Then, American Dream will send the check. A month ago, I had a puncture in my wall tire and the rep said, "Hey, we cover up to $60. Go ahead and we will reimburse you." But I wound up paying out of pocket. I'm in the process of canceling my policy with them but it's been a headache.

    Within 30 days, I could cancel if I want to so I called the rep and the phone wasn't even ringing. I called another number that was associated with them and they said, "Hello, would you like to apply for a quote?". I said no and they said I needed to call back during business hours. It was 3:00 in the afternoon which should be within business hours. I called at 1:00 yesterday and they told me the same thing. Ultimately, I called and got to a guy and I said, "Hey, man, I just want to cancel." He said, "Hey, man, why do you want to cancel?" I didn't want to sound mean so I just said that I got coverage somewhere else.

    Also, when I first applied for coverage, they charged me twice. That should have been the first red flag. They refunded one charge but with the second one, I just said, "Hey, man, just give me my money back." But the reps said, "Okay, we're gonna send you the form. Fill it out and send it through email." I sent it and emailed the guy who signed me up but I got no response. I'm reporting this as fraud. Their services are flaky and they use an off-site call center during business hours. I have no real person to get in contact with if I have any questions. Thank God I never had to use the warranty for any repairs 'cause I wouldn't even know how that process would work. I wouldn't recommend this company. I came across something called the Better Business Bureau and it wasn't accredited.

    Original Review: Oct. 5, 2022

    I'm not happy with American Dream Auto Protect because of their customer service and their policy. My daughter told me that there was an ABS light that was coming on. So I said, “Okay. Let me go see.” But it wasn't there. So, it was something that was coming on and off. And when I took it on the highway, I noticed that the car vibrates when we exceed 70 miles. So I took it to the VW dealer, and unfortunately not the dealer that I purchased it from because they didn't have any appointments right there and then.

    They said, “Okay. Alignments and all that stuff.” I said, “Fine.” And the guys asked me if I had an extended warranty. I told him and what I have and he said, “No. It’s just in case.” So when he told me that the ABS module was bad, I said, “Okay. All right.” I was just thinking a couple of hundred bucks. I wasn't even thinking about going to the warranty. He said, “It's gonna be about four grand,” Wow! So he called American Dream, and he dealt with them. He said, “Not to worry. We normally take care of this.” He called me and said, “Where did you find these people? Did they call you or you called them?” I said, “Why did you ask? Why does it matter?” He said because he dealt with a lot of warranty companies before, and American Dream does not look like anything he's accustomed to. They were hesitant.

    I started getting scared that I was scammed. They asked him to send this and that. And there was a lot of back and forth. I had to get both parties on the line. I said, “My dealer is saying is that he sent you some stuff that you asked him for. And you keep on saying somebody will get in touch. And when somebody gets in touch, they want something else. I really need the car fixed.” They told me, “This is what it is.” It's what they need. He sent it to them. Afterwards, I got this email. But I got a call from him telling me, “This is exactly what I suspected. They’re not going to fix the car." I asked him, “What do you mean they’re not going to fix the car? Based off of what?” He said, “You need to give them a call.” So, I had to hear it from the dealer, not from American Dream.

    I called them and they said, “It seems like the ABS module was probably bad from when you bought the car.” I asked how he deduced that. He said they deal with a lot of those. And he told me something about the average time it takes for the module to go bad, which means it had to be bad. I said, “I'm not understanding. I bought the car from a dealer. Why would I do that?” Because I thought he was thinking that I knew it was bad.

    My thing with them is that they give you a waiting period for you to file any claims. I was beyond the 30-day waiting period. I explained to him, “It’s the way you went about it. Okay, yes. You're telling me this. If you have a waiting period, then don't have a waiting period if you're just gonna tell me then, ‘Well, we think this is what was up.’” So when I asked back for my money, he said, “We can’t you give all your money back. It’s prorated.” “Whatever. I'm not gonna argue with you.”

    I had to cancel the service to get the money back. He said, “I'm gonna send you something. You need to fill it out and send it back to me. I'll take care of it right away.” I waited almost two weeks. Didn't hear anything. I kept on checking my American Express to see if the money went back on there. Nothing. I had to send him another email asking him about the status of it. And he even asked me to stay with them. He said, “We'll give you this.” Because he wanted to extend the warranty for me to stay. He felt bad. I said, “No. You're not fixing the car.” What good is a warranty if you're suggesting, “You paid me almost $3,000, but I'm not gonna hold myself to the warranty that you purchased.”

    I was working with this guy from American Dream Auto Protect and we were going through the numbers. There was always that little bargaining like, “I can't do this.” “So what can you do?” I thought we had come to an equal knowing about how it would go. I gave him my information for the premium and the monthly. And I told him, when he called back, to double. He said he had to check with whoever was over him, to see if it was okay. He never got back to me on that. And next thing I knew, the amount had been debited from my account. So, I wasn't pleased about that. The product is good. I just didn't like the kind of salesmanship. It was shady. He went about his business. I don't like people going to my account taking stuff out without me knowing. And I'm sure anybody would feel the same way. But I needed the warranty for my car, and I let him know.

    I emailed him, he texted me back. And let him know, “I see you went into my account and took out this money. I was waiting for you to get back to me on whether your boss was gonna approve it or not.” We hadn’t agreed on it, but it's there now. I wanted the electrical, the dash, all of that stuff.

    I looked online for warranty companies and I called from the top to the bottom until I reached one that would sell directly to the consumer, and that was American Dream Auto Protect. Henry did a pretty good job. I always read the T's and C's. Typically, salespeople aren't really able to talk about the T's and C's or go through those at all. He was able to. That was probably the biggest objection that a salesperson would get caught on. So, he did a good job there. The price and terms were both good as well. The premium was a little bit higher than certain companies that provide financing that might include a warranty or have an additional adder for a warranty. So, American Dream was a little bit pricey, but their terms were better.
