Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their professionalism, helpfulness, and friendly demeanor, making interactions pleasant and reassuring. The service is frequently highlighted as excellent, with many people appreciating the efficiency and ease of their overall experience, especially regarding claims which are often described as quick and smoothly handled. Consumers also value the clear communication and the detailed explanations provided, ensuring they understand all aspects of their agreements. However, some customers expressed dissatisfaction with the warranty, feeling it was not always honored as expected. These individuals reported that claims were occasionally rejected due to issues being classified as "wear and tear," even for relatively new vehicles or after short periods of ownership. A few people also felt that the company was unwilling to cover expensive parts or that the warranty was not worth the investment, leading to disputes and a sense of being let down when a claim was needed.

About TMO - The Motoring Organisation

Written by the company

The Motoring Organisation (TMO) has been part of the UK’s motoring story for over 50 years. With a legacy built on introducing extended warranties to the UK in the 1970s and continuing ever since to bring protection, support, and peace of mind to drivers, dealers and partners alike.

Over the decades, we have worked closely with many of the UK’s most trusted names and businesses:

• The AA
• RAC
• Vehicle manufacturers
• National dealer groups
• Major vehicle businesses

These partnerships have helped shape our expertise in warranty product development, claims administration, and dealer operations.

In 2020, we launched “The Motoring Organisation” as an independent brand, rooted in the experience we’ve accrued over decades. From that point, we set out to do things differently — to offer Aftercare that is smart, reliable, and customer-focused.

Our flagship Aftercare product is built to delivery what customers really need. We take the burden off drivers and dealers, helping protect against rising costs, uncertainties, and the unexpected.

We pride ourselves on:

• Great Service
• Transparency
• Integrity

As the UK’s #1 Trading Standards Approved Aftercare provider, our mission is to ensure every interaction is clear, supportive, and puts the customer first.

At TMO, we’re not just keeping pace with change — we aim to lead it. Our vision is to build solutions that deliver real value, trusted cover, and confidence on the road, every time.

Great customer service

Maria was extremely helpful and friendly when dealing with my claim. She gave me clear timescales for when she would be able to action things and managed to come back to me a lot sooner to let me know that it was all sorted. I mentioned something that may have been missed by a person id dealt with before and as soon as I did she worked to resolve it and reassure me. In general I can’t fault the service I received from her.

I really don’t understand how they have…

I really don’t understand how they have got a lot of good reviews, I’ve found the whole experience this year since buying a heap of junk 2016 Land Rover sport from Drew’s motors, it was purchased in feb 2024 and has had 3 pretty major repairs 1st one being a cam chain replacement, the claim was an absolute no we’re not paying! It’s not covered, wear and tear , we’re now on our third repair during this year and they are making it really difficult, I think they’re game is you just give up and get it repaired yourself, so not great!

Dear Lorraine,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Unfortunately, based on the limited information provided in your review, we’re unable to locate your specific file to fully address your concerns.

While we weren’t involved in the sale of your vehicle, our role is to provide warranty coverage based on the terms and conditions of your level of protection. Warranty products are designed to cover unexpected failures but, like all warranty products, they include terms that outline what is and isn’t covered.

In the case of cam chain replacements, this typically falls outside of standard warranty coverage when they have stretched. However, every claim is assessed thoroughly, and we always aim to support customers within those guidelines.

We understand how frustrating repeated vehicle repairs can be, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations.

knock/click, washer bottle

My Wifes car washer bottle had given up the ghost, slurping instead of performing correctly, along with a knock/click from the front end of her vehicle.
We've used TMO in the past, it was no different this time around, from the off, kind polite and courteous.
Our case handler was Siobhan(5*) very knowledgeable and helpful. we decided to go with a TMO recommended garage, we were not disappointed, from start to finish. Sorted promptly and efficiently.Although the knock/click left unresolved, the garage mentioned a 4 wheel alignment could possibly help, stating tha 4x4s often had this noise, as they could not find anything out of place or damaged.
thanks again TMO

Hi Jim & Hazel,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that your experience with TMO and our recommended garage met your expectations once again.

Siobhan will be thrilled to hear your kind words—she takes great pride in ensuring our customers are well looked after. While it's a shame the knock/click issue remains unresolved, it's good to hear the garage provided helpful insights on potential next steps.

We truly appreciate your continued trust in us, and if there's anything more we can assist with, don't hesitate to reach out.

Safe travels, and thanks again!

The claim was deal with quickly but labour and parts rate too low

The claim was deal with quickly and effectively. However the labour cost they cover is only upto £40 per hour, in 2024 this is frankly far too low. As a result the payout only covers part of the cost of any works. They also only cover the cost of cheap pattern parts and not OEM parts.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We’re pleased to hear that your claim was handled quickly and effectively, as we always strive to provide prompt and efficient service.

Regarding your concerns, we’d like to clarify a few points:

Labour Rates: Our policies aim to balance comprehensive coverage with affordability. While our standard rate is £40 per hour, we regularly assess this to ensure it reflects market conditions. However, it’s worth noting that our approved partner repairers honor this rate, helping us to minimise out-of-pocket expenses for our customers.

Parts Quality: We only use high-quality parts supplied by reputable manufacturers—these are often the same companies that produce parts for the vehicle manufacturers themselves. The key difference is these parts don’t carry the vehicle manufacturer’s branding or the associated cost mark-up. This allows us to maintain a high standard of quality while keeping costs reasonable for our customers.

We appreciate your feedback and will use it to review our offering. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly.

Thank you for choosing us.
