We’re flattered, sort of.
Given Warranty Direct’s market leading position in the direct to consumer extended warranty market, we are flattered that companies (not so honest ones) are identifying themselves as Warranty Direct and falsifying our name on their Caller IDs.
Warranty Direct does not make unsolicited phone calls or use an automated dialing system. The only way we would contact you would be if you visited our web site (www.warrantydirect.com) and left your contact information.
