the best customer service

I received outstanding customer service from Dane Walters. His professionalism and willingness to help were truly impressive. Even though I had a car problem, Dane didn't hesitate to do everything he could to assist me. His helpfulness made a real difference. Thank you, Dane!

My car needed repairs

My car needed repairs, because it broke. Down. When I called them they said they was unsure if the problem was before I bought the car or after. If the problem was before I bought the car then they wouldn’t pay me out. To check this they wanted to send an inspector which would’ve taken a whole week just for an inspectors to come and inspect the car see if the issue was before I got the car. They booked the inspector a week after the car broke down. I was also asking for a courtesy car and they couldn’t provide me one, fair enough . On the day the inspector was meant to come, I phoned to confirm because they said he would’ve came on Thursday, I took a whole day off work to wait for the inspector because they said he’ll come 9-5. Wheh I phoned in to see when the inspector was coming, they said he wasn’t booked or they had no clue and it was up to the other team. Wheh I asked for the inspector team details they couldn’t provide me it and said he’ll get back to me when he never . I spent a whole week waiting just for an inspector which they didn’t Even book it because they put on ‘hold’. Bad service !!!! Just hung the phone up previous as well. What was the point of me paying for warranty if I went through this hassle. It is in the data base name was Mohammed Nawaz literally spoke on the phone not long ago white Mercedes c250. Sorry but your two paragraphs are completely false. I did give them time to book it. The inspector literally did confirm a date and time! As I said Thursday 8-5 they literally called me and said they booked that time. Then they didn’t show up on that day nor the time. I did give them time to book it. So both are false, they confirmed a date and time I gave them time to book it and no one showed up. My car was left there for weeks. I had to pay my own money to get it fixed as i previously state to your team that it my only car and I needed it repaired asap. But there was no empathy yet made me wait weeks currently nothing has been done and I’ve had to pay out my own pocket . Warranty is basically useless for me as of right now hasn’t done me any good. And you can’t confirm and say we don’t cover pre existing faults you don’t even know if it is pre existing because the inspector didn’t even show up because he wasn’t booked after they said he was !!!! So you can’t say it was pre existing since you don’t know !

Dear Mohammed,

Thank you for your review, it is important for prospective members to understand we do not cover pre existing faults.

18 days on cover you reported your 147,000 mile Mercedes Benz had an issue with the steering.

We advised we would send an independent inspector to assess the vehicle, however you did not allow them time to book your vehicle in.

They had not yet confirmed the date or time however you contacted them directly and demanded a slot.

We are not in control of the booking process as they are a 3rd party company.

A manager will be in touch to discuss.

Good to work with

Dane the customer service rep was patient with me throughout our conversation, and helped explain to me the process and costs with detail. Overall, it was a good experience thanks to his (and the rest of the team's) efficient and timely responses to my questions.

1 star is generous!

They don't even deserve the 1 star! Honestly, the worst company I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with! After 5 weeks of back and forth, trying to sort an issue with my car, I thought everything was resolved but now they're finding more reasons to delay paying out! Absolutely ridiculous! Happy enough to take my money tho 😃

Thanks Dane

An issue occurred with my gearbox and after some initial back and forth, the claim was eventually settled. My thanks goes to Dane who handled the escalation quickly and efficiently and kept me informed throughout the process, ensuring a fair outcome. His professionalism and commitment to resolving the issue were appreciated. Dane’s approach stood out, and he is a credit to the team.

FALSE HOPE

FALSE HOPE

best way to describe warranty assist is that they are like a false hope, you feel good having it, but God forbid you ever need to make a claim then its game over.
staff are rude and make same promises and excuses, give you run around for days and eventually same circus act, its been refused.

i knew they were bad but i thought that's the case for all warranty companies, until i went online to forums and spoke to traders and garages, none of them recommended warranty assist, in fact most said avoid like the plague, all complained about same thing, cant get through to them, staff lie and give you the run around, they never pay out.
was recommended three companies kept popping up, wont mention them here, but they have been great. save yourself expensive legal action and court cases, avoid WARRANTY ASSIST.
I WONT BE PUTTING MY WARRANTY DETAILS IN AS IM TAKING LEGAL ACTION FOR NOW

Claim sorted with ease

I was assisted by Dane and Ryan who kept me updated throughout the whole process, they both took care of all the admin work and was in contact with the garage consistently getting updates then forwarding them to me, which reduced stress on my end and overall a great experience using warranty assist for the first time.

Dear Marcin,

RE: Pre existing faults

A clutch and flywheel fail over years and thousands of miles, not a week on cover as the damage would be pre existing. No warranty can cover pre-existing parts.

I've had my Jaguar warranty for 6 months and thankfully I chose this provider. Dane Walters was of particular help and Ryan (sorry didn't catch his surname) was excellent as well. I was referred to a local mechanic promptly and the problem was diagnosed and fixed very quickly. I recommend this company to anyone looking for a good warranty.

Had an engine management light came up on my car, I quickly called the Warranty Assist. The warranty team I spoke to helped to arrange a car for diagnostic at their approved garage. After diagnostic turn out there is a faulty on one of my fuel injector. Luckily for me the fuel injector is covered by the warranty. The claim process is very quick and straightforward, after the warranty received the necessarily document to do the work, next day I already received a call that my claim has been successful. I just want to say thank you to Ryan for helping me with this case.

I highly recommend Warranty Assist (WA) to anyone looking for a hassle free warranty cover for their vehicle.

I bought a car which came with a WA warranty. I recently had an issue with my car and contacted them.

The Customer care manager (Dane Walters) was very helpful and guided me through the claim process.

Amazing Service by Dane Walters

Amazing Service by Dane Walters, he was very friendly and caring for customers, when you sent your claim first the process is a bit slow, take over a week, I understand that they may have lots of customers and follow a step by step process, but once the claim was accepted is a good feeling that you are cover for some repairs on your car and you’re not alone, Thanks Dane! I totally recommend Warranty Assist

Absolute Scam

If I could give zero stars, I would.

This company is an absolute scam,

Recently purchased a car from Car Planet Watford and was given 3 months Warranty with Warranty Assist with my car purchase.

After my car broke after 7 weeks, I was advised to proceed with a claim against Warranty for the fixture.
After weeks of dealing with Warranty Assist, I was asked to provide Service History and as the service was done 4 months after it was due (due to Car Planet having my car for sale - not with me), they advised they would not deal with my claim.

This is now leaving me with a battle with Car Planet for payments I have had to complete in order to fix my vehicle.

*Update - 13/01/25)*

Received a call from Warranty Assist today, opened the call by coughing down the phone to me, and then advised instead of going back and forth in email we could have a conversation over the phone and asked about my experience/issue.
When trying to let them know my issue, I was cut off. After advising if I was going to experience a similar experience to his colleague i'd rather not speak to them.. in which they asked me to go on and then covered their mic to clearly moan about me.

I then ended the call.

In regards to the response to this review from Warranty assist... my name isnt Tilly.. and clearly you could find me, as your company has just rung me from 0800 131 0030.
