When you are on a fixed income and have your debits to be drawn on the date it should, debiting it earlier can cause problems with your accounts with other bills.

Appeal
October 10, 2024

Was told the trucks repair would not be covered. Was not happy about this decision. Filled out an appeal form and within 2 days I was contacted saying after a review they were going to pay. Glad about that but shouldn't have to go through all this when something breaks on your vehicle.

Jay, we have had over 2 million customers and the negative reviews online are a tiny fraction of our business. We’re happy to stand on our record of 19 years in business and our claims department pays out over $12 million in claims every month. That said, we are always working on providing better products and services each day. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-587-4162 for further assistance if you have any questions or concerns.

That is unfortunate to hear and we apologize that there may have been confusion about your coverage. We do go over what is covered with you on the initial phone call and also send you the policy right away to review. The contract does go over the details of the coverage and explains that all repair parts and costs are verified per nationally recognized labor guides.

Experience was great till I got to the dealership ended up with almost $900 bill because you guys did not cover either diagnostic test to figure out what the problem was which I don't understand that part and it kind of makes you question if I keep want to keep the warranty.
