What is Select Auto Protect?

Select Auto Protect offers extended car warranty plans that cover repair and replacement expenses after your vehicle’s original manufacturer’s warranty expires. There’s no limit to the number of claims you can make, and the company’s agents are available 24/7.

You can take your car to any mechanic with Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. If the facility can’t repair the covered part, Select Auto Protect will pay to replace it, and it will pay the shop directly.

Select Auto Protect coverage and plans

Select Auto Protect covers all makes and models, and the company covers cars of all ages. It only requires that your vehicle is in good working condition when you get a warranty. It also doesn’t ask for any in-person inspections. You’ll simply provide them with your vehicle identification number (VIN) and the current odometer reading.

Select Auto Protect has three plans to choose from:

Select Silver

This is the company’s most basic plan. It provides coverage for:

  • Engine
  • Transmission
  • Cooling system
  • Brake system
  • Electrical system
  • Drive axle
  • Trip interruption
  • Gas refill
  • Roadside assistance
  • Rental car

Select Gold

The Select Gold plan covers everything under Select Silver plus lockouts and the vehicle’s steering system.

Select Platinum

The Select Platinum plan includes everything in Select Gold and adds coverage for:

  • Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
  • Air conditioning system
  • Heating system
  • Fuel system
  • Turbocharger/supercharger
  • Hi-tech equipment
  • Front and back suspension
  • All-wheel or four-wheel drive

Select Auto Protect cost

Select Auto Protect doesn’t list its prices, fees or deductibles on its site. To get a quote, you’ll need to submit a form on its website.

Extended warranty plans typically cost around $1,000 to $3,000, but costs vary depending on your car’s make, age and mileage, your location and the coverage level you select.

FAQ

Does Select Auto Protect have a claims limit?

There aren’t any limits to the number of claims you can make. The company doesn’t specify whether there are any maximum payouts for individual claims or throughout the contract’s term, so be sure to read your contract carefully before signing it.

How are Select Auto Protect claims paid?

Select Auto Protect pays the repair facility directly, and you pay your deductible separately. Select Auto Protect doesn’t require any paperwork or for you to pay the bill first and then be reimbursed at a later time.

Can you transfer a Select Auto Protect policy?

Select Auto Protect lets you transfer your policy to a new owner without any fees. All you have to do is contact the company by phone and give the new owner’s name.

Can you cancel a Select Auto Protect policy?

You can cancel a Select Auto Protect policy at any time. If you cancel within 30 days, you can get a full refund.

Still have questions?

Is a Select Auto Protect plan worth it?

A Select Auto Protect plan can be worth it if you’re looking for extended auto warranty coverage. It’s an established company that’s been in business for over 30 years, and it has several plan options. Plus, you can use any ASE-certified technician. You also won’t have to worry about any upfront payments because the company pays the shop’s bill directly. However, Select Auto Protect doesn’t display any pricing or fee information online, which makes it more difficult to compare its plans to other companies.

    My 2017 Jeep wrangler JKU has been in the shop for 11 days now. After the fault was identified, fuel injector, Select Auto was notified. They told the dealer service department they were sending an inspector to review diagnostics that took 6 days for the inspector to show up. Two days after inspector notified repair shop that it was covered, they have yet to send the money to cover it. Since it’s Saturday, I probably won’t get my Jeep back until Monday, at the earliest, if that soon. If you’re thinking of getting an extending warranty, stay away from this company. This by the way was my first claim, had the policy for over a year. Absolutely terrible customer service.

    Bought a Premium policy for my Land Rover Discovery. Sales rep told me they dealt primarily with luxury vehicles so their policies were comprehensive policies that covered everything on high-end vehicles. After a short trip, my vehicle was leaking coolant and needed the front brakes replaced. Both should have been covered under a comprehensive warranty, but the claim was denied in its entirety. Select Auto Protect are glorified telemarketers, nothing more. They certainly aren’t going to cover any costly repairs on your vehicle. So my advice is to avoid Select Auto Protect at all costs after I paid for their expensive policy and then had to pay for the repairs on my vehicle out-of-pocket.

      Worst auto coverage ever! We ended up taking them to Small Claims Court and won. That’s the good news! Bad news is after many tries over the last twelve months they still haven’t paid the small claim or the judgement of a mere $2,500. That’s a pretty small amount in the whole car repair business. They won’t even pay the towing because the claim was denied. We ended up taking it to the state licensing department in the state of Texas and they actually are helping!! I suggest any denied claim be reported to your state licensing department! These types of companies need to be put out of business. They have an F rating with the BBB.

      Bought policy for my Porsche Macan with very low mileage but expiring factory warranty. When transmission failed, Select Auto Protect found every way possible to NOT pay my claim, including providing reasons that every mechanic I sought out verified were absolutely impossible to fulfill. After over 6 weeks of dealing with the problem without a car or rental, I finally paid out of pocket to get the repair completed. Now in litigation (initially used arbitration mandated by policy) however, Select has completely ignored all the litigation solicitations. I hope to recover some of the THOUSANDS of dollars I paid and, if I can't, hopefully save others from this sleazy company.

      I would give zero stars if I could, but I am forced to give 1. I have the Platinum policy for my 2019 Range Rover Sport HSE. Car has had some mechanical issues that are warranty-covered - yet they are always denied. And when I call in to complain, I speak to rude people and was even hung up on. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR EXTENDED WARRANTY!

      Do NOT do business with them. Where do I start? My BMW was leaking coolant as well as the oil filter. Customer service was TERRIBLE! I had to repeatedly contact them to get an update etc. I would be told they would contact me within 24 hours but then never contacted me. Car was towed on a Thursday to the garage. Mechanic contacted Select Auto Protect. 5 DAYS later they sent out an adjuster and the adjuster told the mechanic he would receive their answer the next morning. 2 days later I called them again and was told my claim was denied because it was a maintenance issue. Really? Do people really replace their water pump before it fails? So apparently I'm stuck with a warranty that does nothing and was a waste of money.

      We purchased the Platinum policy for our Mercedes after doing our research and seeing favorable reviews back in 2022. Over the past four weeks when I needed them, I have made repeated efforts to resolve a transmission claim directly with the company through emails and phone calls. Despite multiple follow-ups, the company has not provided a timely written approval or denial identifying the specific contract provision supporting its position and has stated it may take up to 90 days to receive a denial in writing?!? Deny and delay is not an honest way to conduct business.

      I put in a claim for my 2016 Range Rover for the Fuel pump. The mechanic called Select and was told that the fuel pump had to be removed so they could see if it worked. Not possible to see if it works if it's not in the car. I have been waiting 3 weeks to find out if it can be repaired. Called the Company 3 times and still have not received a call back about my vehicle repair. The warranty says that it is covered so I don't understand the hold up. No problem taking the money but sure do not want to do the repairs. There is no way to contact the Inspectors to find out what is going on with the inspections. Poor customer service.

      I started two policies with them for my two cars, Mercedes and Nissan on their Platinum coverage. I had to take Nissan vehicle in for some issues. I was at Nissan dealer. They have came with estimate and tried to submit to the claims. No response and when dealer got the response, it was a runaround they gave them with adjustor's schedule. My car was with the dealer for two weeks and still no response or resolution. Finally adjustor came out. No response for another week. Finally, dealer told me that claims was denied, even though it was covered under their warranty.

      I called Select Auto and they gave me an answer they are still reviewing it when they told the dealer it was denied. I was furious that it sat at the dealer for three weeks, adjustor came out and still reviewing it? I paid out of pocket to get the car repaired and out. I called Select Auto back and canceled both of my policies. It has been three weeks and still no refund. Last time I called and asked to speak to manager, they put me on hold and minute later, they hung up.

      Based on my experience and still having issues, I will ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND this warranty company. Terrible claims process, LONG wait for the claims approval, and even though the parts are covered, they denied the claim when I followed all their requirements (cooling period, regular scheduled maintenance, etc).

      Do not use Select Auto Protect. Difficult to communicate with as a customer and difficult in communicating with repair companies. Every claim that was submitted took weeks to resolve in comparison to other extended warranty companies that were able to inspect the vehicle and reimburse payment same daycare for similar repairs. Very slow at reimbursing for towing and rental vehicle expenses and they only cover up to 7 days of rental vehicle, even though the hold up is on their end on vehicle repairs.

      The final straw on my patience with this company was the fact that they did not cover the full amount of damage on my transmission failure. My torque converter failed and caused damage to the rest of the transmission. They reimbursed me for only one part and 4 hours of labor, leaving me with $2700 to pay for the remaining transmission replacement. I submitted this and my towing claim on 12/8/26 and select auto didn’t finalize the claim until 12/23. I still have not received reimbursement for towing and rental expenses. Every time I have called to speak to a professional I have been pushed around on making an appointment without anyone reaching out to me. I would expect better treatment as a platinum member, but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. If it says anything else, both repair companies I have visited said they would prefer not to work this warranty company again.

Three years later, I called the same number he gave me, and he answered right away. He got my claim handled and paid in just two days. Jason really came through on his word.

      I would not recommend this as an alternative keep your money. Why? When talking to the salesperson specifically ask for the section to see what is not covered so that there are no surprises for you. I was shocked when I submitted a claim and they did not want to pay because they said that they will not pay for "any damage or malfunction that is due to an already worn out or malfunctioned part". Well what do you expect from an older car if your engine fails the poor thing is over 100k miles? You are better off saving your money for the repairs.

      This was my first claim with Select, and I’m really impressed! John was incredibly friendly and clearly explained what was wrong with my car.

      Hands down the worst warranty company I’ve ever dealt with. Select Auto Protect is a complete scam. They’ll happily take your money, but the second you actually file a claim, it’s delay after delay, excuse after excuse. They sent an inspector a week late, didn’t communicate a thing to me or the shop, and then flat-out refused to cover a clear water pump failure — on a truck that couldn’t even be driven. Their reps are rude, clueless, and bounce you around from one person to another with zero accountability. The whole “inspection” was a joke, and they clearly look for any loophole to deny coverage. I’ve dealt with plenty of warranty companies, and this is by far the worst. Don’t waste your time or your money — Select Auto Protect is a ripoff, plain and simple. If I could give zero stars, I would.

      Don't ever use Select Auto. I paid $2500 on a warranty plan. I was told it was covered Bumper to bumper no questions asked. My O2 sensor needed to be replaced and they denied the claim which cost ME $800 to replace. I had the car for 1 year and told them I want my plan transferred to my new vehicle because I still had 30K miles left on my warranty and 4 more years. They said, "We don't transfer vehicles." I said ok I want my money back. They said, "You can get $400 back." I said c'mon let's be real here at least give me back $1400 because I never once used the plan because you denied me for my only claim and I was told the $400 is now $200 so in total they cost me $3300 and I was sent a check for $400.

      Read the cancellation section of the contract carefully before you decide to do business with this company. They use the term pro-rated to refer to your refund if you cancel, giving the impression that your refund will be pro-rated for the entire period of the agreement. But then they add verbiage that they can interpret so that they can apply a monthly amount to deduct from your original contract amount in a way that causes your refund to disappear before the coverage period is even half over. And, oh yes, they apply a cancellation fee plus an administrative fee that together reduce your refund by another $250.00. And they didn't cover the one claim that I did make. So, I suggest that you PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

      Bought the PLATINUM plan in April 2025. Had a wheel bearing claim in Sept 2025 when the vehicle was in for normal service. After the 4th day of waiting...and sending ALL past MAINTENANCE records (never asked for when we bought) , being told the claim is in review. The POLICY says they have 48 hrs to reply to every call. Now on the 4th day of waiting, they said they may be sending an inspector to the dealer some day probably next week. And I should call back tomorrow for update!!! Because they DO NOT FOLLOW UP with CALL backs to CUSTOMERS with updates. That is the customers job to stay on it. We gave up and had the dealer go ahead with repair and we paid for it.
