Portfolio Protection Vehicles & Services

I paid for a warranty on my 2011 f250, sent it to the dealer and was told it needed over 8k in repairs, they sent it an inspector and after his review they would not honor their warranty, the CERTIFIED inspector claimed there was a programmer tuner on my truck which is false, saying the vehicle is modified therefore voids warranty, I sent them photos and receipts showing and proving this is a MONITOR, NOT PROGRAMMING DEVICE, After several attempts to speak with someone with enough authority to help, to no avail I was ignored, hung up on, and told the is a STATE CERTIFIED INSPECTOR, in which case he sounds if done his job properly and examined everything, instead to get out of the work need they falsely claimed the truck was modified, Do not purchase this warranty, nothing BUT PROBLEMS FROM THEM AND THEY WILL DO ALL IN THEIR POWER TO DISCREDIT AND VOID ANY RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE REPAIRS.

How about a experience from the middle man? I am the person that handles calling and submitting claims for approval. I have been in the automotive industry for about 7 years and have worked with many extended warranties. This service experience has deterred me from ever wanting to buy and or work with this company. When starting the claim the mileage was submitted wrong when the contract was purchased, that held back the claim process for two business days. After the mileage was corrected I submitted the repair estimate for review. The claims representative stated the review can takes 24-48 hours (unbeknownst to me it was working hours not days). This was just to review if an inspector was needed. Finally 4 days later they stated they were sending and inspector to review the vehicle, that would be another 24-48 hours.

I have a 100k mile bumper to bumper warranty that covers Electrical, Electronic High Tech Components, and Electrical Plus (Plan CA Companion). I am at 73k miles, denied coverage for ignition coil replacement. The plan is advertised as bumper to bumper. I am very disappointed and dissatisfied, and will be posting this anywhere I can. The dealer that my car is at is also confused and the service manager just told me that he's never heard of a bumper to bumper plan that didn't cover ignition coils.

They are crooks!!! They'll take your money and deny any warranty claims!!! I've had my car at a dealer's servicing location for a week because Portfolio won't pay for the work. I have the most expensive plan of theirs for what? Nothing. No peace of mind and a car that's not fixed! They will give you the run around to save on paying for anything. Worst regret is buying their policy!

Recently bought a brand new 2019 Ram 1500 truck. This Portfolio protection "Express Five" warranty service was presented as an extended warranty for small minor repairs. Especially glass protection. I've owned the truck for exactly one year so far. I recently came across my front windshield being cracked. Figured this would be the best opportunity to use my $799.00 - 5 year warranty that I paid for. Decided to call them up and start the claim process. Was told over the phone that since my crack was more any 2 inches that they couldn't do anything and that "window replacement" is not covered. So basically I will be out $1,039.50 dollars for the window and an additional $799.00 because I refuse to ever contact them again for anything. Think about it, they pocketed my money and made interest off it and refused to help. If a company can't replace a window would hate what they would do to people with a serious problem. I feel taken advantage of. For the sake of my misfortune, please don't buy their coverage, frankly they are a scam! Just read other reviews and run!

When I purchased this product I was never told that the only place I could have repairs made were at the dealer I purchased it from. If you are within 40 miles from the selling dealer you must take it there. Outside 40 miles require pre-authorization. As it is I do reside more than 40 mi. My truck needed struts so I called and was pre approved. I made the appointment, got the work done. When the mechanic called the claim was disapproved because it was made closer than 40 miles. Here's the kicker they measure the distance by straight line not by driving miles. So this policy is useless unless I wish to drive 1.5 hours or have it towed at more expense than the repair. DO NOT BUY THIS POLICY.

Do NOT buy a warranty from this company. All they do is decline every claim saying it’s not covered. When you buy a bumper to bumper warranty and they say it’s not covered. That is their normal answer. You would have to know every tiny little nuance of your car. It states they cover the air conditioning but when an actuator malfunctions and it clicks and runs even when the car is off and could drain the battery or worse the wiring catch on fire that is not covered. 3 things I’ve brought my car in for in less than a year that their answer is NOT covered and get rude about it. Their customer service sucks and give attitudes. STAY AWAY from them.

I was under the impression I could take my vehicle to any Jeep dealer for service. Well lo and behold I have been at one for almost three hours today for this. Protection company inform me my stuff is covered but needs to be brought back to where I bought the vehicle. Seriously? This is 100% inconvenient for the customer that paid you just under me $3,000.00 for this dumb **. Ask if the dealer can go with another company for your protection and not this one.

Updated on 03/20/2020: So here is another update from my previous reviews that I’ve submitted from my first claim with Portfolio. Hopefully you’ve read the others or this one won’t make sense. So after everything was authorized by the underwriter from the dealer that sold me the car everything went smoothly. The work was done by my Nissan within two days and I was on my way with my car back. Payment went smoothly and there were no more snags. I did raise my rating by 1 more star (from 2-3) simply for the smoothness after authorization was received by Portfolio. So I guess the moral of this whole story is to ask questions and demand answers.

Update on 01/22/2020: It is now day 2 and after further testing and sending pictures to warranty company I was told it will take a little more time to decide whether or not to replace my power steering gearbox, not the power steering pump. I don't understand the delay. The truck is garaged, has never been in an accident and has always been driven with care. The dealership will call them again in the morning to see what they have decided. Update coming.
