Warranty Solutions Reviews

Warranty Solutions is a potentially good option if you’re looking for a variety of coverage levels with varying term lengths. You can only purchase coverage through a dealership, and you should check contract exclusions to see what’s not covered. Warranty Solutions doesn’t offer as many plans as other companies, so you may want to explore other options to get the best plan for your needs. You can cancel your plan and get a refund if applicable.

For over 40 years, Warranty Solutions has administered vehicle service contracts and other automotive products, including tire and wheel protection, dent repair and theft protection. The company doesn’t sell its products directly to consumers, so you need to contact a participating dealership if you want to purchase a vehicle service contract or other type of protection. Warranty Solutions fully insures its contracts through Heritage Indemnity Company.

Warranty Solutions is part of The Amynta Group, an insurance services company with an automotive warranty segment. The Amynta Group, headquartered in New York, also has divisions for managing general agencies and specialty risk services.

You can only purchase a Warranty Solutions vehicle service contract through a dealership. The company offers plans for both new and used vehicles. However, your car may need to be under a manufacturer’s warranty to be eligible for extended coverage. Additionally, dealers may only offer an extended warranty when you purchase your vehicle. Contact a dealer to learn whether you can buy a Warranty Solutions contract for your car.

Warranty Solutions has vehicle service contracts for new and pre-owned vehicles. The 3 Star plan provides powertrain coverage for used cars, while the 4 Star contract covers major components for new and used vehicles. These plans each offer extended coverage options for additional parts, known as 3 Star Plus and 4 Star Plus.

The 5 Star plan is the company’s exclusionary coverage option. It includes coverage for most vehicle components. If you have a car currently under a manufacturer’s warranty, you can also purchase the 5 Star Wrap contract. This plan supplements the factory warranty to provide full coverage.

Other warranty options include Mileage Select, a plan for older, high-mileage vehicles, and the Star Cool or Star Fuel plans. These two plans offer powertrain coverage plus additional components, including the cooling or fuel system.

Most plans are customizable, with optional coverages available. This table shows the differences between the 3 Star, 4 Star and 5 Star plans, since they represent coverage that should satisfy most drivers looking for extended warranties. The 3 Star Plus or 4 Star Plus may cover some components in the lower two plans. We’ve also noted where these plans offer optional coverages you can add to a policy.

Warranty Solutions coverage limits

Extended warranty companies usually limit payouts based on a vehicle’s value through the National Automobile Dealers Association. Warranty Solutions doesn’t specify its coverage limits online. Ask your dealer about payout limits when you purchase a contract.

Warranty Solutions doesn’t provide pricing quotes for potential customers. Instead, you’ll need to contact a local dealer that sells its contracts. According to the company’s website, the cost of coverage can vary based on your vehicle, the plan you choose and where you live.

The company offers varying coverage terms based on mileage or length. Its plans come with different deductible levels. You can also waive the deductible if you take your vehicle to the dealer where you purchased the contract.

We reached out to Warranty Solutions for more information about the pricing model for its plans, but we have not received a response yet.
