I was scammed lied on, people almost lost their job at the dealership dealing with this company. My advice is to find an extended warranty company that actually repair your car. Not one that llc registered in Delaware, big red flag when they breach their contract if you ever get one. I had to call in 5 times but long story short, you can’t go after the owner if you sue just this company. I’m sure they will file bankruptcy and you're out of thousands of dollars.
This company reviews are fake, once they get your money they never have no intentions on repairing your car… Only 2 people works at this company so that speaks value and the fact that they been in business this long and has yet to grow especially if they offering this five star service. Please don’t waste your time or money, you stand a better chance with CarShield lol.
I purchased my car 3 months ago, got an inspection done at the Maserati shop. I paid cash money for this car so there no way I’m buying a lemon. The only thing was wrong with my car was the steering wheel in which I got it fixed before purchasing the policy. I attached the inspection report to prove I had no preexisting damages. The air compressor went out on this car, they deny the claim and came up with this big lie about the dealership told them this and that but once I got them both on the phone together the story changed, this poor man almost lost his job. These people are con artists that work under different entities so follow your gut feelings. Go to the dealership service department and asked them to recommend a company.

Their comprehensive contract does not cover over 200 items. You must read this before you purchase it. I needed a module software program update and it was not covered. In small print under "Comprehensive -What Is Not Covered" I found it listed in small print along with a list of many other items. Had I read this I would not have purchased it. The contract was for 7 years or 90000 miles. I only have 30000 miles on this car and this was my first claim which they denied. No one has time to read the entire contract so they hide the exclusions on page 2 of 5 in small print.

I was interested in an extended policy for my Honda F6B motorcycle. I spoke with an agent, Louis, who appeared very helpful, but requested I pay in full (1,775.00) before seeing a contract (to lock in the special price). I explained that I am leery of pre-paying, before I see EXACTLY what the policy will cover. He referred me to the online brochure, which basically the drive train, and some additional parts would be fully covered, and gives me his direct phone number, as he will be my "personal agent".
So like a dummy, I pay, and approx 2 days later, a contract shows up, outlining the components of an automobile, with automatic transmission (the motorcycle has a standard shift trans). Several calls to him, now more difficult to reach, and 2 more contracts, exactly the same as the first appear. Totally frustrated now, I call the main number and speak with John, who introduces himself as a Senior Account Agent, and he apologizes, and explains how Louis is relatively new, and that he, himself, will be taking over my account. He also promises a proper motorcycle contract will be sent out by next day.
A week goes by, nothing, persistent phone calls go unanswered, e-mails go ignored. At his point, all I want is my money back. With no response from the company, I was forced to go thru my bank debit account, and have VISA return my money, which they did. I since found another policy, that offered more coverage in parts/components, with no mileage cap, for $250 less. There are better policies out there - keep looking.

Please if you are in search of a real, valid, insurance company KEEP LOOKING!!! They denied the only claim I ever made without a reason whatsoever, arguing back and forth. Even my mechanic was in complete shock. And making up excuses to get away with it. $5,000 policy and they didn't even cover a legitimate compressor replacement.

Sales consultant was professional and knowledgeable about the product. Placed me at ease in making a large purchase and choosing company. Looked at discounts for us being military retirees, and explained all the services. Advised us on best tier and service providers.

I have been a customer for over a year. 3 Claims filed, 3 Claims denied. Customer service will not work with you, and will not cover parts listed in the contract as covered parts. Be aware of Faulty VS Wear in contract. They will not cover your parts.

Updated on 12/05/2022: I tried to reach and after multiple emails and phone message. They returned my call to tell me the same reply as before. Now they are saying, "We can pay you courtesy partial amount but claim is denied." I cannot understand. I am seeking others to help on this matter.
Original Review: I already spoke to their representative twice. I paid thousands of dollars to buy ext warranty for my Panamera turbo. Unfortunately found two repairs requested by my dealership service center. I am having hard time dealing with the representatives from this company. They don't have any background or knowledge on the repair, use keyword from repair description and look up policy document to deny claims. Last time they agreed to one repair now when repair center called again they denied it again. I am totally stressed and what is the point of buying warranty, paying lot of amount. So far there are no valid reason for denial. All repairs are covered by their policy document but still denied. Trying to contact them again and also trying Illinois consumer protection agency if they can help as well.

Called your main number, spoke to Jason. Great guy. Like his good business approach. Explain your plan very good. He is a keeper. He was not pushing anything I don't want. I'm sold on your company. I was going to do dealer plan but after talking to Jason you guys was the best deal.

I was helped by Jason, super helpful and patience providing all the info I requested, great communication and offered several options for the duration of the length of policy, very happy with the experience, going to try this policy for few years and if all positive I will most likely add my other two Vehicles. Thank you Jason.

Seems like this company isn't posting my experience, so here I go again, but shorter. They seldom pay, if they do, they pay for used part prices, often no pay on labor. DO NOT BUY!!! Lousy company. BAD.
