If I could give minus stars I would.

Customer service staff rude. I had a problem with handbrake switch as it came off in my hand in car that I purchased a week earlier.
I was on holiday at the time towing a caravan I was told it would be fine to drive and tow the caravan without a handbrake.
So I had to pay the cost myself while away to be roadworthy.
I will never use this company again also would tell everyone to avoid at all costs !!!

Horrible service
Horrible service! Avoid this warranty company. The timing chain in my car was faulty which was clearly diagnosed by the garage. Further usage of the car could damage the engine! Everyone who knows a little about cars should know that. Faulty timing chain = broken engine!!! The timing chain was included in my warranty package. The claim was refused due to chain was not completely broken! Why on earth they included timing chain in the warranty package? Obviously if it breaks completely I would have to replace the whole engine! which is not worth it! My claim limit is £1500 so this would not cover the damage of the engine. I bought this warranty to have peace of mind that if something is faulty this can be claimed through warranty. Waste of money, never again!
Horrible customer service
Horrible customer service. Called to ask for a fault to be fixed under the warranty. will not confirm if the fault is covered or not until you have had the work done..... Need to know if its covered or not before going to a specific garage or if its not covered will have the work done elsewhere

SHIT SHOW
Purchased a car December last year and I was back to the garage in January 🙄
From the start, I reported problems with the suspension, yet the issue was not properly investigated or repaired. The car has now failed its MOT due to faulty coil springs — exactly the problem I complained about months ago. To make matters worse, I was sent to a garage of your choosing, where the repairs were clearly not done correctly. I returned to the garage again in March and reported a knocking noise over speed bumps, the garage advised me that there was no issue and that the sound was nothing to worry about. The noise has continued since and I only do 5K miles per year so I relied on your professional assessment and had no reason to think otherwise.
At my recent MOT on 5th November, I was informed that both coil springs are snapped and that this fault was likely existed for some time. I was also advised that the broken springs would cause exactly the kind of noise I had previously reported — the same issue your garage dismissed months ago.
To make matters worse, your previous response mentioned brake pads, even though I never raised any concern about them and they have been checked and confirmed to be fine.
It is extremely disappointing that a serious fault such as broken coil springs was missed and dismissed, potentially compromising the safety of my vehicle.

TERRIBLE!!!
TERRIBLE!!!
I bought a car, noticed some issues when I went to view it but Steve assured me that it would be resolved before delivery. Nothing was resolved on delivery. Several calls was made but I was directed to the warranty company (Blackstar Warranty). Blackstar is absolutely terrible or even worse, they sent me to their trusted garage who did a diagnostic on the car but refused to take responsibility, sending me back to Vortex car for a second opinion. After several calls and emails, with false claims by staff of Blackstar warranty, they decided they were only going to pay £192 out of £1260. It has been the most stressful one month of my life, visited several garages since the first day of receiving the car.

Avoid like the plague
Bought a jaguar and almost 6 months later it had a gearbox fault, phoned Blackstar up as it was under warranty and sent details of the damage and estimates, basically everything they asked for.
Claim got rejected as it was fair wear and tear and corrosion just happe s (aluminum pipe under the gearbox, aluminium doesnt corrode)
Sent a detailed response explaining everything to them from a jaguar specialist and theg responded simply with 'Our initial decision stands'. No explanation, no reason, just an email which makes them act as judge and jury, despite evidence contradicting their judgement.
Scam of a company who have no idea what they are doing. Trading standards will be contacted.

With hindsight shouldn't have bought the car that was under Black Star warranty. Brakes down to the metal within a fortnight

Absolute Crooks AVOID!!!
Bought my car from a garage. Came with a Silver warranty. Developed a fault where the car is now in limp mode and unusable. Jumped through every hoop that was asked by these clowns. Then with no explanation told im not covered.
Avoid these absolute clowns. That warranty that you get with your car isnt worth the paper its printed on.
I will be contesting them and escalating accordingly.

I purchased a vehicle for £14,000 with a 12-month MOT and a Blackstar Warranty, expecting peace of mind — but the reality has been far from it.
Shortly after buying the car, faults started to appear. When I contacted the seller, they passed me on to Blackstar Warranty, who have now refused to cover the issue, claiming it falls outside of their terms — despite the fact I wasn’t properly informed of what is and isn’t included at the point of sale.
I’ve now booked the vehicle in for a full professional inspection in September and will be forwarding any findings to both the dealer and Blackstar. I’ve also involved my solicitor to pursue the matter further if needed.
This has been a shocking experience after spending such a large amount of money. Be warned: the MOT and warranty mean very little if you aren’t supported when problems arise.

From beginning to the end everyone was so curtiouse the problem was sorted quickly

I had a great experience with Blackstar warranty. Their service was excellent—responsive emails, easy to reach by phone, and they were there to support me every step of the way. Payments were straightforward and made on time. Highly recommend for reliable warranty coverage!

WARRANTY ISNT WORTH THE PAPER ITS WRITTEN ON!!! my dpf cracked so made a claim which was rejected with little explanation, considering its a common fault with landrovers it should have been simple but instead left me with a 2200 repair on a car I'd only had 6 days!

What an experience I have had with this company.
Bought a car 9 weeks ago which from day 1 I have had problems with, my car needs a gear box or the whining noice sorting anyway this company booked my car in for a inspection garage came back to them and said car needs a new gearbox. I then received an email saying because the car hasn't broke down and is still drivable that they will not be renewing the gear box, my warranty runs out in 2 weeks how convenient anyway people please stay well clear from this scam of a company I wasn't going to put anything on here but after today i thought why not 9 weeks and nothing has been done jokers man
Fast and easy

I was hesitant due to mixed reviews but my experience with Blackstar Warranties was better than expected. Initially, there were some issues with details being submitted incorrectly, but customer service responded quickly to resolve this. Repairs require pre-approval, which adds extra steps, but reimbursement was prompt after completion. Overall, satisfactory service for the price.
