Original review: March 24, 2022

The coverage was alright in the beginning. When I had some problems with my car the first time, I didn't use the warranty 'cause I wasn't aware of what I would do to use it. The second and third time, I used them, it wasn't covered. When I had an issue with the exhaust thing, that was all right. I took the car in and the guy ran the stuff with a computer, came back, and told me that Protect My Car would pay half of the cost.

    I love Protect My Car. They've been really good to me and they're so nice. The coverage saves me money. It's the assurance of knowing that if I break down and it's something that's covered, they're gonna take care of it. For the first two years of having the warranty, they fixed things that they weren't responsible for. Also, I get oil changes, pay, and then they refund me later. It's a check that comes in the mail and it's great. I tell all my friends to get Protect My Car. I got warranties pushed on me through the dealership and I said, "No, I have Protect My Car, I don't need one."

    Protect My Car didn't tell me what coverage I was getting and was not able to help me in a number of cases. My windshield had a leak but they told me it wasn't covered. The tailgate got a motor in it but it wasn't covered too. When I had my oil change done, I didn't have any issues with it but with what I'm paying Protect My Car, I could have gotten my own oil changed and my tailgate would have gotten covered. When Protect My Car sets up people a policy, they also should let them know what's not covered and what is covered by it.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for sharing your experience with Protect My Car. We understand it is frustrating when everything is not covered as expected and apologize for that inconvenience. A specialist reached out to you but was only able to leave a voicemail message. Also, there is a list of covered components on pages 11 and 12 of your policy booklet. Pages 13 through 15 review the exclusions of your policy, including what is explicitly not covered under your plan. We are glad you are with us and will work hard to meet and exceed your expectations. Please call Customer Loyalty anytime you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help out. We appreciate any and all feedback and suggestions from our valued customers. Thank you again for your comments.

    Resolution response: March 15, 2022

    ***UPDATE: Today - Tuesday, March 15, at about 2:00 p.m., I FINALLY received word that they are in fact going to cover the needed repairs 100%. So I give them credit for honoring the warranty I paid for. In fact, this repair alone costs more than what I will have paid for the warranty. So upping the review to three stars.

    All that said, I stand by most of what I wrote in my initial review. There is no excuse in my opinion for this process to have taken nine days (seven business days), just to get to the point where the shop is now ready to order the needed parts for the repair. Between the time Protect My Car spent dragging their feet, the time it will take for the parts to arrive, and the time it will actually take for the repair (which is substantial), I will have been without my car for well over two full weeks. I don't care HOW much money I'm saving, being without a car for that length of time is unacceptable. The purpose of a warranty is to ensure that this exact situation doesn't happen. I feel that Protect My Car needs to take a serious look at their policies/procedures/whatever, and find a way to get this done quicker - no matter how much the repair may cost, it is unacceptable (and ridiculous) that it takes nine days just to get a warranty claim approved.

    Original review: March 14, 2022

    Updated on 05/11/2022: Following up on my previous review of this company. I had a repair claim through Protect My Car. It was well over three weeks from the time I took the car in until the time I got it back (see my previous review for those comments). This review is regarding their rental reimbursement. First, people need to be aware of the drastic limitations of their rental car coverage:

    1. It only begins after PMC has APPROVED the repair. In my case, that process alone took nine full days, during which time I either had to get a rental, or be without a car. There is NO coverage during this period.
    2. It only covers $30 per day. In my case, the lowest cost I could find was approximately $450/wk - approximately $65/day. So my cost was more than twice what they offer as reimbursement.

    3. It only covers for 7 days. In my case, from the time they approved the claim, the car was STILL down for almost two full weeks. So I had another full week of paying out of my own pocket for a rental car.

    So ok. Fine. I'm due a check for $210 (after having paid well over $900 for rental cars). And now, here we go again with Protect My Car's slow customer service: I submitted my documentation on May 31. On APRIL 27 (almost a full month), I finally receive an e-mail indicating "We have processed your reimbursement requests, and a check for $210.00 will be mailed to the address on file." It is now May 11. I just called them - the representative indicated that they STILL have not mailed the check, nor can they give me a time frame when they will do so.

    I wouldn't even say people shouldn't use PMC. The coverage, if you have a catastrophic failure (like my car did) can save you thousands. But people need to be aware of the significant limitations of their rental reimbursement coverage, as well as the fact that they are painfully slow in everything they do. My prior review covered their slowness in getting my car repaired; this review is to inform people that even a simple reimbursement check for rental car coverage which I am CLEARLY entitled to takes well over a month for processing.

    Original Review: I purchased a Protect My Car policy in November of 2019, on my 2016 Nissan Rogue with (at the time) approximately 93,000 miles on it. Warranty coverage was to be for 100,000 miles (up to 193,000). I've paid $93 per month. On March 7 at 7:00 a.m., I took my car to a mechanic recommended by the warranty company, hearing a grinding noise. At about 11 a.m., I learned that the transmission was bad; they recommended a full replacement. I feel that since that time, Protect My Car has taken every opportunity to drag their feet and delay this process as much as possible. Frankly, I think their ultimate goal is to drag it out until I'm sick of waiting and I just pick up my car and say forget it. Here's what has happened so far:

    Monday, March 7 - 11:00 a.m.: Mechanic notified me of the problem. He indicated that they had to wait for an inspection by Protect My Car before they would determine coverage. Tuesday, March 8 - 9:00 a.m.: I called PMC, who informed me that it would take 24-48 hours from when the claim was initially filed for an inspector to arrive. They also indicated I would be receiving an e-mail as to further instructions. Later that day: I called back to inform them I had never received the e-mail, and asked what I needed to do. They informed me to send my maintenance/repair records to an e-mail address. I did so immediately.

    Wednesday, March 9 - 9:00 am: I had not received any contact indicating that my e-mail had been received, and had heard nothing else, so I called to check the status. They informed me that my e-mail had been received, but the inspector still had not been at the shop. Wednesday, March 9 - 12:58 pm: Mechanic notified me that the inspector had finally arrived. I called PMC, who indicated that it should take 24 hours for the inspection report to be filed with their company.

    Friday, March 11 - approximately noon: After having called several times, they FINALLY indicated that the inspection report had been received. I was informed by the agent that they would immediately notify the adjuster, and that they would be 'getting right on it'. Saturday, March 12 - 1:23 pm: I was informed that the adjuster had reviewed the claim and that now the manager had to review the claim. No decision yet. Monday, March 14 - 2:27 pm: I am sitting here writing this review. STILL no decision.

    My car has now been sitting in the shop for a full week. Still no decision from the warranty company. It doesn't seem like it should take this long. Really, seems pretty simple to me: I bought a warranty that covers the transmission. I've done transmission service every 30k as recommended by the Nissan dealer. Through no fault of my own, The transmission has gone south.

    Why does it take a full week, with no end in sight, to decide whether this is going to be covered? Makes me think they're just dragging it out, hoping I'll get impatient and say 'forget it'. And other factor: on one of the phone calls, I asked if I could go ahead and authorize repairs to be made, pay for them myself, and then have the warranty company reimburse me. But that wasn't an option either - even though their inspectors have already looked at it, and they have all the information to make a determination of what they're willing to pay, I still have to wait for them to actually make their decision before I do anything. So I'm stuck in limbo, without a car. I either have to have someone drive me to work daily (and be stuck at home the rest of the time), or pay through the nose for a rental. All because they are just taking their sweet old time to make a decision.

    Oh, and by the way: they claim their policies cover rental reimbursement. But what they don't tell you when you're signing up is that the rental reimbursement coverage only starts AFTER THEY HAVE APPROVED THE CLAIM. And it's only $30 per day. You try renting a car for $30 - see what happens... VERY frustrated with this whole process. Had I known it would be this difficult, I would not have purchased this warranty.

    My experience with the rep during signup was good. I was looking for regular car insurance, and I'm good with Protect My Car's coverage. At the moment, it's very valuable. I drive a Volkswagen, and if anything happens, I need to know that I'm not having to pay that big cost.

    I had only had the coverage for a couple of months when my car acted up. I took the car to the dealership I always take it to and was told I had a cracked pin on my engine. They doubted if the insurance was gonna cover it because my coverage was so new. But I had my $100 deductible and it was a fuel pump and something else that they did not cover. I ended up paying $500 out of pocket for a $5,000 engine. The repair was amazing and I was in total shock. Then, I had another thing happen with the axle and it was like $1,200. They paid it out and I paid out 100 and something dollars. PMC has been amazing. I shout to the rooftop and I've been telling people they need to get this warranty.

    Before I signed up, I had an issue with my car. But because it was already a preexisting condition, Protect My Car gave me quotes and things of how they would be able to help, so that way I could tell my friends. I went to a dealership and they were trying to charge five times what Protect My Car was offering, so that was what sold me. I ended up paying a percentage. I didn't even have to pay my deductible.

    I've actually heard about this company after I had gone through my car insurance. I'd pay my deductible, just 500, but then, they'd also pay for parts and labor to a certain percentage. I wish I'd known them before everything happened because I would have saved over $2,000 alone. They have covered oil changes, brake changes, brake pad changes, alignments, inspections, things that cost so much. They also offer a lot of coverage on parts, as far as regular maintenance to auxiliary parts, AC, and they take the extra step to cover the rest of it in a lot more ways than you would imagine.

    I use Protect My Car on my oil changes. But I'm gonna have to get the transmission looked at and I need to know what’s the best place to go to. I wish they have a wider network, an accessible list of who and where will accept the vehicle and the coverage.

    Thank you for the 4-stars and for choosing Protect My Car. We understand the frustrations of not knowing exactly where to take your vehicle for repairs, but with more than 250,000 shops available to our customers across the United States, we cannot provide a list of every shop that accepts Protect My Car coverage.

    The service has been pretty good for the most part. They are very handy when a claim meets the qualifications for coverage. It covers the basic coverages, such as oil and a little maintenance, and it's one of the best, especially in the area of Florida. But for more body work and repairs or more advanced things, people should try to look for something else. But other than that, the reps in the mechanical shop said Protect My Car has very nice and friendly people, which I agree with.

    Original review: Feb. 24, 2022

    I started coverage with this company in December 2020. I covered two vehicles a 2012 Honda Fit and a 2017 Ford Explorer. I sold the Honda in Dec. 2021. In Nov. 2021 I took the car to get a oil change that was covered. But that was the first time I used them (Protect My Car) for anything. Not before I had paid over $700.00 in the program. I only got an oil change. On February 23, 2022 I called the company to find out where do I go to take advantage of a free oil change for my Ford Explorer, they told me Jiffy Lube in Columbia SC. I asked the lady on the phone if Jiffy Lube would come back and tell me that I needed something extra would you cover it. She told me that they only would cover the oil change and tire rotation; anything out side of that is on you. I said that do not seem to be fair because I have been paying into this company since Dec. 2020. She said, "Well get the Jiffy Lube to call." I said okay.

    Jiffy Lube called and I needed some windshield wipers and an air filter. They refused to cover the two items outside of the oil change and tire rotation. Needless to say I came home, called them and drop out of the coverage. I only used them for the oil change at that point I had paid Portect My Car over $1100.00 ($77.61 month). The moral of the story is just make a savings account that you would deposit that fee monthly and you would save a lot of money.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for sharing your experience with Protect My Car. We understand it is frustrating when everything is not covered as expected and apologize for that inconvenience. However, our policies are intended to help customers with mechanical breakdowns, which are almost always unexpected and very costly. Regrettably, windshield wipers and air filters are not considered mechanical breakdown issues, but rather maintenance items, and are not covered under any of our plans. Vehicle breakdown policies do not cover the cost of maintenance and wear and tear items to help keep the policy cost down and assist more with unexpected breakdowns. Adding these services to a policy would make the policy's monthly cost too expensive for most people, especially those on a budget. We regret that we were unable to keep your valued business, but please don't hesitate to contact Loyalty if you have any questions or concerns.

    When my car broke down, I called for tow truck but they didn't show up. They had said they would come pick it up. The next morning, when I went there, my car was still in the same place. I had to pick it up myself. When my car had a fuel pump problem, I also called Protect My Car. They paid for some of it, but I had to pay for the rest though they said it’s full coverage. I called but nobody was picking up.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with Protect My Car. Our apologies for the inconvenience with Roadside Assistance. We also know that paying 25% of your repair bill seems quite a lot, but having even that much assistance is worth having coverage. Most older, high-mileage cars simply do not qualify for any coverage with most companies. Obviously, those are the vehicles that are most likely to suffer a mechanical breakdown. Our coverage plans were created with just those vehicles in mind. The coverage provides a wide variety of benefits in addition to breakdown coverage, all for a very affordable monthly premium. We are happy to have helped you with repairs on your previous vehicle and hope you consider Protect My Car for coverage on your new one. Please call us anytime you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help out. We appreciate any and all feedback and suggestions from our valued customers. Thank you again for your comments.

    I've had to use Protect My Car a couple of times, and I never had any real issue. I had to have some mechanical work done on my vehicle, and they took care of it. Everything was good. Shop around and look for the cost. Make sure the plan is gonna cover a lot of stuff. Because some coverages didn't cover as much as I thought that they were going to cover.

    If you never get into an accident but things are messed up with your vehicle, that's an out-of-pocket cost and with PMC, I like the fact that they will handle repairs outside of an accident. What sold me was the 25% parts and labor costs. The rep I talked to gave me a generalized summary of the company and what they offer, what they entail, the person that benefits different packages, and coverages that were available. He was really cool and extremely knowledgeable. I told him about my vehicle and exactly the type of coverage I was looking for and that's when he sent me over the Platinum package. I'm satisfied so far.

    My truck is old so the mileage is way past my manufacturer's warranty. I went with CarShield, but what they offered was lubricated parts on the vehicle and they charged me the same price for the best coverage they had that would cover everything on somebody else's vehicle. I used it for a little bit but I figured it was just a waste of money and for some coverage. I was looking online and then I saw Protect My Car and I decided to try it out. For my truck, which is over 10 years old and has over 246,000 miles on it, they still cover everything that has gone wrong with it, so I've been very happy with them since then.

    When I go to a mechanic, before they do a diagnostic on it, and then they let me know whatever it's gonna cost, then I give them the information for the company, and they call them. Of course, they ask the mechanic's information for the truck. After everything’s said and done and they okay it, they give me a call to let me know what my portion is, and they're gonna cover their portion, and I cover mine.

    The one thing that I experienced was that there was a part on the truck that was not routine maintenance and the person said that it was not covered. I read over my policy and I called back. I explained that whoever’s told the mechanic that it wasn't covered was wrong. The guy had to research what I was talking about. He apologized on behalf of the other person and that's what got fixed.

    The only thing was that when I was trying to get the door handles fixed on my Nissan, they didn't accept it ‘cause it wasn't covered. It was considered as cosmetic. They didn't call me about it. I’ll appreciate it if when I take my car to a mechanic and it’s something not covered, they should at least give me a courtesy call about it. But whatever they covered, they covered. I recommended it to my mother and she uses it too.

    I purchased a used vehicle and I just wanted some additional coverage. I already had a vehicle covered through Protect My Car before and they worked out a really good deal with me and that was why I went with it this time. I've got the policy back in October 2019 and they said that I had to do 30 days and put 1,000 miles on the car, which I did. At the end of December, my vehicle check engine light came on. I stay in the country and I explained that to the man before I took it up to the dealership, ‘cause tow trucks and stuff like that don’t come out this way.

    When I took it up to the dealer, they did a check. While I was at the dealership, one of the claim adjusters, Justin, called me from Protect My Car and he was opening up the claim while I was there after I've dropped my vehicle off. Later on that evening, the serviceman called me from the dealership and told me that my Cadillac converters were gone, and they were saying something about my transmission. When he and Protect My Car had a conversation, they said something for one of their third-party people to come out to check to make sure it was my Cadillac converters and my transmission.

    The guy, Jason, who was the supervisor, tried to help as he said he was. I gave him a good rating because he went over and beyond. But the next day, he dropped the news saying they didn't approve my vehicle. At first, it was because they showed that I took it to the shop sometime in October to get it serviced. Well, I didn't do that. What happened was I went to where I get my oil change at and get my invoices there because it's an oil change place where I could send it to Protect My Car to get refunded for my oil changes, that was why it was showing in there.

    They also showed an estimate and they never even put the accurate miles in there. They had me down for 70,000 miles where when I purchased the vehicle back in August 2019, I had 80 some thousand miles. I got my paperwork and Bill of Sale stating that it was at 80 some thousand miles, so I knew that wasn't true, but that was one of the reasons why they said they denied it. After that, he changed the thing and said that it was something with I didn't use their tow company. But the thing that was so crazy was I was just having to walk into the car dealership and they didn't even reach out to the car dealership. I told them that he was on the phone that Protect My Car denied the claim. They said they heard nothing from Protect My Car. At the end of the day, I was supposed to have been covered and they should have been fixing my vehicle. It was just coming up with a lot of excuses.

    I went off on them on that last thing on Better Business Bureau. Then they told the Better Business Bureau all these lies about I slandered their name and went back and forth with them. Every call that they had with me, I was cussing no one out. I canceled my policy with both vehicles. It was just a lot of miscommunication, not holding their end of the bargain, and lying.

    I'm gonna take them to small claims court. That's my next step because I also had documentation that my vehicle has always been serviced. I've never been late on oil changes. Then when they sent a third-party person to come in to inspect the vehicle, the service manager from the dealership said that the person did not start the vehicle. Also, a couple of pictures they sent over didn't even look like my vehicle. When I went online to look at their reviews on the Better Business Bureau, they have been doing people the same way, taking pictures and it wasn’t the people's vehicles. Then mine was in a shop for over a month. It was just terrible service. I wouldn't recommend anybody to go to them.

    I got this coverage for the older car and my daughter was gonna be driving it. When she had to do roadside assistance the very first time for the battery, that experience was good. When she got the oil changed, that was good as well, although it took forever for Protect My Car to send the check. However, when she went to get something done with the air conditioning, they denied the claim saying it was a pre-existing condition. I told them that was already fixed from the previous accident. The guy was nice and all, but I told him, "How you gonna do something from that long ago with something that's just breaking down now?" Then they gave Jiffy Lube the runaround for about a good four hours. They were great for the minor stuff, but they didn't want to pay for the major stuff. Since they denied the one problem, we've been scared to use them again.

    I wanted my suspension, my motor and trans, and the computer to be covered. The representative told me there were different packages. When I told her the type of car I had, the low mileage on it, we just went to the premium package. I just had one pre-existing condition on the car, and that was the air conditioning in there that went out. Before I got the insurance, I got the car checked at Pep Boys and they said that it was one of the problems with my car. After I got the coverage, I took it back. The mechanic put in the request for Protect My Car to pay for certain things, and when he put the air conditioning in his request, they wouldn’t fix that, but they offered me a way where I could get it fixed cheaper. They have lived up to what they said they were gonna do.

    It's going two years now since I purchased my warranty and I paid every month. I got an oil change when I first got the warranty. The shop called and made sure that the claim was approved. Protect My Car came back and told me everything was approved and everything worked out perfectly. If I have service done on my car, Protect My Car is gonna grant my service and get it done. I will have no issue.

    When looking for extended coverage, check the coverage that they offer you, anything with the transmission, motor, or brakes. Our electronic problems like the windows are good. You pay monthly and Protect My Car will service something. I'm telling my daughter when she gets her car to join with them because it's good coverage. You got the rental car coverage, you got to pay your deductible, and you're good to roll. You don't need to pay out $5,000 to fix your car. Those rental cars are $210 for seven days and you can rent a car for a day. You have to keep your car that long. That's your max pay and you can get reimbursed back. The whole deal ends up 400 or maybe $500. You have that for your car when something happens.

    My cousin Maurice told me to look into Protect My Car and that it was good. I went with them and he was right. I was very happy. The rep who helped me sign up was a beautiful guy and was excellent. I got two cars on the policy now. One is with the Malibu. I'm gonna start using protect My Car really soon. Even if you have coverage, it’s always great to have Protect My Car. I'm highly satisfied. I like the road thing. When we break down someone will come and get us. That's beautiful. Weigh your options and see what your insurance company is offering. If they're not offering the things that Protect My Car does, it's a good deal to look into.

    I got an oil change and Protect My Car paid for it. I'm happy with their service that I received. They aren't rude. They were very helpful. There may be a potential problem with my turbo for my car and they were great with that too. They said, "We don't cover that part in particular, but we do have different outlets to which we can send you through that we can possibly still help you get the cheapest rate." I would highly recommend Protect My Car but I would probably recommend that others get a higher plan than I got so they could have more coverage.

    Their customer service is all right, although one time, I had a little trouble getting ahold of somebody to pay a bill. Also, I had to get a battery and they said they wouldn't cover that. When I got this coverage, I thought they said everything under the hood was protected. And $82 a month is kind of high. Other than that, I'm pretty well satisfied with it.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for the 5-stars and for choosing Protect My Car. We are glad you are with us, and we will continue to work hard to make sure we meet and exceed your expectations. We apologize for any wait times but are confident that our recently implemented changes will decrease the average hold time for better service. We also apologize for the inconvenience with your battery. We should have better explained that everything mechanical, under the hood, is covered. Other than oil changes and tire rotations offered by PMC, maintenance items are not covered under any plan currently available in the industry.

    Protect My Car had a cheaper rate coverage and it was quite easy to file a claim with them. I've also availed of the free oil change. But they've denied the service every time I submitted a claim because it was something they didn't cover, which all had to do with outward parts. They should cover more outward parts than inward parts.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for sharing your experience with Protect My Car. We are happy that you have used the policy and apologize for any confusion regarding covered and non-covered components. And while we understand your frustrations, we do keep with industry-standard coverage requirements. Most mechanical breakdown plans do not include coverage for seals and gaskets. There is a list of covered components on pages 11 and 12 of your policy booklet, followed by the policy exclusion.

    They explained the coverage pretty well and their level of knowledge and expertise was good enough for me to become a client. My first service went pretty fair. The only thing is they should be available seven days a week. Cars break down on Sundays as well and when you call in, it takes a long time to connect to someone to get your services taken care of.

    Protect My Car response

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Protect My Car.

    The person who helped me explained everything. I was reluctant because there are a lot of things online that could be fraud. He did everything he told me like send me an email with proof of my card before I got it. That made me trust him. Making payments for the coverage was easy. I did the online bank to pay for it. My rep knew what he was talking about.

    It wasn't until I got the first service that the coverage was actually explained that I can only get three oil changes within the year. The last time that I had an oil change, I had to pay somewhat more of it because I got the second package. I was charged around $400. Also, after so many miles, other stuff had to be serviced as well, and it wasn’t included under the warranty. There was something going on with the air conditioner, and it wasn’t covered with the warranty. Infiniti dealership actually paid for it themselves and I had to pay $100 deductible to them. But for my experience overall, Protect My Car has been good. As far as the warranty, it was good to enroll in because you have to have it. The payment was pretty much reasonable.

    They gave me a really good rate and the coverage that they offered especially for my Mitsubishi was really good. It was better than what the dealership was giving me. I have them on both my cars and I've already done some claims. Right now, I still got something in the works for my car with Protect My Car and they already stated they’ll cover it. I'm just waiting on them to get the part for my car. Other than that, it’s pretty good. Protect My Car helps save money and I have less worry.
