Feedback From A Customer

Feedback From A Warranty Direct Customer:

This is just to let you know how pleased I am with your service. I recently purchased a policy with Warranty Direct, just before my car’s original warranty expired. My car had not had any problems up to that point, so I was unsure whether this extra expense was really necessary, but only a few weeks later, I took my car to the dealer for some maintenance and several leaks were discovered. Your company covered the cost of repairs without any problem. Shortly thereafter, a totally different issue was discovered and Warranty Direct also covered it, this time supplying the required part directly to the mechanic. Needless to say, I am very glad that I purchased the warranty when I did. Thank you for making these repairs so simple and direct. I will definitely recommend your service.

The fact is, auto warranty brokers search for the warranty that affords them the highest mark-up. Often, the consumer does not know who they are actually buying their coverage from and is unable to research the records of these companies. The companies supplying coverage to these brokers have the industry’s highest rate of Better Business Bureau complaints with several of them having over 100 Better Business Bureau complaints in the past 3 years. The brokers themselves also have a very high rate of Better Business Bureau complaints with one of them having over 300 complaints in the past 3 years.
BUYER BEWARE
Consumers should be aware that a warranty broker bears NO RESPONSIBILITY to them once the sale has been made. Here is what one warranty broker has buried deep in their web site:
