American First Auto Protect Reviews

I paid $4100 for this warranty a year ago. I’ve never used it and now that I need to I cannot reach anyone. I have sent emails and phone does not work. I tried to reach my original salesperson. His phone is also not work. How do I get my money back?!!!

Time do a claim and guess what I nor the shop cannot get a hold of anyone. I did a lot of research and at the time this was one of the companies that was recommended by ConsumerAffairs. I paid $2100 up front and this company does not answer the phone nor response to messages and is now listed as under investigation. Well great!!

Do not go with this fraud company. I purchased extended warranty for over $2k and they don't have any method of contacting them. Phone call is not responsive and email is non responsive as well. For purchasing the warranty, they were quick and gave me 3 phone calls in a day for me to get the warranty. But after they got the money, no contact at all. Phone calls go to voicemail and the person does not respond to the email despite sending a lot of them. Save yourself and your hard earned money. DO NOT GO WITH THIS. IT's a SCAM.

I have tried to contact Barry with email. Gets kicked back to my email. Tried to call nothing. Went to their site and they are under investigation. I would like my money back. This is not good business at all

I used Consumer Affairs to locate an extended warranty for my vehicle and was immediately set up with American First Auto Protect on your reference. I went through the entire process and the people seemed to be OK and I signed and paid for a Platinum Service agreement for $2,509.12. I put in a claim week ago. Followed up with phone calls and nothing. I believe I got scammed and trying to get my money back. Where do I go from here. This is not what I figured would happened trying to be careful from hearing about all the scams. This why I went to Customer Affairs.

I purchase which I thought was a 5 star warranty company to now it’s showing 3 stars. First I been calling since last month. No answer. To now the web page not Accessible to now they under investigation. I just want my money back to get a real policy to take my vehicle to the shop.

I went with this company for auto extended warranty. When I needed them, they do not respond. Their phone is set to automatically go to voice mail, which is full and you can’t leave message. They took my money and ran. Do not go with this company unless you want to throw your money away.

I purchased two extended warranties for two cars from American First Auto Protect. Paid in full and never received the cards. I called and emailed and they kept saying they were being mailed. I emailed today and the email was returned and the site says it is under construction. DO NOT PURCHASE A WARRANTY FROM "AMERICAN FIRST AUTO PROTECT". I even did all the background checks and called the dealership to make certain that they worked with this agency and they did. So frustrated.

They are a scam. I purchased a warranty in November. When I called them for a an issue I have with my Range Rover they didn't respond at all. I emailed and called numerous times. I have hired a private investigator to find Chase and will not stop until I get my money back from this ** company.

Signed up for auto warranty and then asked to cancel the next week due to medical bills. I told them I was driving to Urgent care during the application and didn’t know my diagnosis, and was in the emergency room all night for a possible embolism. The bills were large. Asked for money back and never received my money or a contract.

Purchased agreement in 2021 and had no difficulty contacting agent once decision made to purchase. However, it is extremely difficult to contact this company to file a claim. Made many attempts by phone and have now sent a email to them to try to get someone to respond. I would give them a 0 star rating if I could. No company should make it this difficult to file a claim.

After purchasing the auto warranty in May I went to use it July after having a parking brake Issue. The dealership explained the situation and the warranty company canceled the inspector and said it was impossible that this was not a pre-existing issue. After proving that the car was in the shop 45 days prior for a warranty covered issue and yearly maintenance and this issue did not occur.

I paid this company $2500 for a 5-Year/100,000 mile extended warranty. They can offer such unbelievable warranties because they don't honor the warranty. You will only get a live person when signing up for the warranty. After they get your money, you will only get voicemails or a foreign sounding guy saying the claim department is closed. Don't trust this company. Most companies have technology that allows claim filing online... However, with this company, you must call and that's where the black hole begins...

March 4, 2022, I purchased a Platinum “bumper to bumper” warranty for my 2015 Audi A6 TDI from American First Auto Protect’s Barry ** for $3,000.00 which was to begin April 4, 2022. April 18th I received an e-mail from a Colin ** with an attachment entitled; American First Auto Protect Contract – Platinum.pdf entitled Service Agreement.

Updated on 08/10/2022: Update: Now the guy who I spoke with me is filling out auto and home warranties request on my behalf as well now. I've received about 6 calls this morning that I answered and they are using different cars to enroll me now. AZAG is opening investigation on them. I call and spoke with my case worker. Avoid them!! Scam is they will take your money, they will try to get you to pay the entire policy if possible and even though you follow all their guidelines awaiting the 30 days 1000 miles they will deny your claim claiming everything is preexisting also miles don't matter them. Everything is preexisting. I know people that have lost thousands Everyone vigilant. I have a question for Trustpolit how much vetting do you do to these new companies to protect consumers a little better?

Chase was an amazing sales representative from the start. Also when I had a claim I called Chase and he got me right over to Michael in claims and they handled the situation perfectly. I am really happy I chose this company. Best extended warranty I worked with. Ask for Chase if you are looking for a quote. He is great.

These people will straight out lie to you. Salesman Colin sold me a policy, I cancelled it after I saw the contract contained so many spelling and grammatical errors that there is no way someone who spoke English wrote it. I couldn't believe a company would actually give this to a potential customer to review. Colin said the full refund would be processed within 3-5 business days, it has now been 7 business days and no refund still. I have been on hold with accounting for over 25 minutes now.

I had called and canceled my premium account in March and was told that I would receive a full refund in May. As of today, I still haven't received my refund. I tried calling them many times this past week but no one answered. My calls went straight to their voicemail as soon as they see my numbers. It is so frustrating. I am so disappointed of how unprofessional this company is. I hope someone from their billing department will call me asap to let me know when my refund will be issued.

I purchased a 3-year warranty policy on my 2011 Land Rover for a one-time charge of $2500 which I paid in full on November 2021. Today, I received my credit card statement to learn that American First had unexpectedly charged my card on May 12, 2022 an UNAUTHORIZED $999. Seems, according to reviews on YELP, unauthorized charging of customers is a SOP by American First. Curiously, in New York state the amount of fraud required for grand larceny is >$1,000. Coincidence? I suspect not.

I would not recommend American First Auto Protect (AFAP) to anyone. You won't get any protection as you won't get the service promised or hardly anyone or anyone honest on the phone. I have only and consistently received POOR or no service since I signed up with them in the fall of 2021. The first time service was needed, my car had to sit for three days on the lot of the auto repair shop as no one would pick up when the auto shop or I called. The reimbursement for the towing that was involved has yet to be paid and this was in January. Another incident occurred about March and the only thing that's been consistent is the poor service and continued lies about when the towing reimbursements, supposedly May 22 for both incidents, was to be received. It's May 31st.

As all good consumers, one has to crunch the numbers and compare plans and prices with other companies. This takes time. However, there was high high pressure to sign up and buy the warranty. In between working and raising a small child, this takes time. I requested a contract so that I can read it and see the exclusions. This was done, albeit begrudgingly and was still in the process of reading it. Three days later, I received a phone call from a very aggressive and short tempered salesman. The same one that I have been dealing with (I have his name if anyone wants.) Fortunately, I record every conversation that I have, and I recorded this wimp of a man berate me because I hadn't made the purchase yet. He literally told me:

I called American First and from then, I had the most awesome man ever, Michael, telling me I had a bumper-to-bumper coverage. It didn't matter if it was a windshield wiper, it was covered. Everything was covered. He was a really good guy and I loved him. But they did keep calling me a little bit too much and they wouldn't leave me alone. Even though I told Michael that I would pay him at the end of the month, I would still get 10 calls between then.

I wanted mainly the drivetrain and electrical components covered. I tried another company, and they wouldn't warranty the motor and transmission drivetrain part of it, so I didn't go with them. I signed up with American First Auto and it was easy. They're the only ones I found that would warranty everything. There's no point in going anywhere else.

UPDATED 04/10/2022: This company is a scam. I really doubt they have been using fake accounts to post 5 star ratings, to lure more and more customers. They do not pay for claims nor do they cancel the membership and return the money in the 30 day period. This is scam.

Eli ** was an amazing sales representative. He let me take my time in my decision process. I was deciding between two cars a Ford Explorer and a BMW X3. Eli let me know that for BMW they specialize in and they only use OEM parts. I called my local BMW dealership to confirm and they said these guys were great. Thank you Eli for helping me make my decision.

My recent experience with American First went smooth and easy. Brought my car into the shop this past Friday for my control arms. Today I got a call from a representative that the claim has been approved. I called my dealer and they confirmed that American first has authorized it. Happy I bought the platinum plan. Easy and quick service.

Barry ** helped me set a policy up and he was truly amazing. Barry went above and beyond and provided me with the platinum warranty. I do not know much about vehicles and I told Barry that so he made sure to go over the plan slow and go over all details. After I purchased I called Barry and wanted to make sure my Land Rover dealer accepted their coverage. We hopped on the phone with the dealer and they confirmed that these guys were great. Barry you were amazing. I will be sending all family and friends for their extended warranty needs to you.

Staff is really cool and friendly. As a customer I always have questions. Everybody I speak to is very patient and answers all my questions perfectly. Their customers service team is trained right. Happy I chose a company with good values and not only a good sales team but a good customer service team as well. Go with these guys. They're the perfect choice.

Solid experience with American First Auto. Paid my claim out for my fuel pump with in a couple of hours. Satisfied with the quick claims process which is rare in extended warranties. Highly recommend. Ask for Thomas he was very informative. A plus experience so far.

What they were offering sounded great to me. So far, it's been good. They also respond to all my phone calls.
