I bought a Subaru Outback in February 2025 with a used car warranty from a dealership in PA. In…read moreMarch 2025 the transmission quit working. After calling a dozen or so places, I found two garages that would entertain the idea of working with a warranty company, and Helbig's was the only one to call back within a 24 hour timeframe. From the beginning, Fred laid out how the process works, what could go wrong, what should happen, what extra costs I might have, and the best way to go about repairing it. My Subaru had a CVT and it was a 2016 Outback with a 3.6 liter engine instead of the standard 2.5, and it was impossible to find a used replacement anywhere in the US. Honest. I looked too. Fred talked to his Subaru guy and the only real solution was a Subaru factory rebuilt transmission. Fred went about filling out the paperwork for the warranty company even though he had never heard of it before and invested a lot of personal time into my situation. I had the car for 34 days before the transmission went and I was certain that the warranty company would deny the claim and say that it was damage prior to coverage. Fred dotted every "I" and crossed every "t" on that paperwork and jumped through every hoop the warranty company gave him. Fred kept in contact with me every day there was a new development. Finally, he called to say that it had actually been approved. I couldn't believe it and figured it would be a few more weeks before getting my car back. 6 days later I was ready to roll. Helbig's saved me at least $6,000 by taking the time to do my paperwork properly, not to mention saving my sanity.
