Terrible warranty, I purchase my vehicle back in 2020 and it had a PCM issue and when the dealer called them, they basically said OEM parts are too expensive and said they will ship there own parts, clearly a business that shouldn't even be a thing, pay all this money for a warranty company to bring to a dealer to use OEM parts and I can't even get that, like it's the first time using them too, what a waste of time and money this business is read more

I WOULD GIVE LESS THAN ONE STAR IF POSSIBLE. I purchased the contract because electrical and lubricated parts were covered. The contract encourages you to take the vehicle back to the dealer. So far everything that that has been to my vehicle has been a nightmare. They disallow parts prices because they say the parts can be bought aftermarket cheaper. They also disallow labor prices because they say the dealers rates are too high. They also, say that they charge too many hours for a job. If you have automobile dealers sell this contract you should expect to pay dealer prices. If not you should have negotiated a price. This explains to me the reason private repair shops don't want to deal with this contract. They have an appeals process. When you initiate this process you receive an email within minutes that says "we have reviewed your claim and our original decision stands" THESE PEOPLE AND CONTRACT ARE A RIPOFF read more

Very lousy company. I recommend avoiding them at all costs. It's now 11-9-23, they are dragging out a claim from mid-July 2023. They insist some paperwork has not been received, however, the second time they "lost" it, registered mail was used. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. read more

Company is trying to replace my AUDI turbo charger with aftermarket product. However, it states under their Turbo Charger/ Supervisor Charger PowerPoint coverage that it only covers (factory installed only). They want me to put aftermarket turbo so that if something happens to that then they won't cover future issues in the event the aftermarket doesn't work. That is a devious scheme if I've ever seen one. read more

Seriously avoid this company at all cost. Their customer service is awful and will look for any reason to deny your claim and I got the best policy that they offer. If I could give them a zero I would. read more

I have been working with extended warranty companies for more then 20 years as an auto repair shop owner. Bar none Smart Autocare has provided has provided THE WORST service for there customer and to the shop providing service. It started antagonistic and never got better. It seams as though they try to drag it out so long that the customer would give up and just pay the bill to the shop so they don't have to pay anything. The funniest part is that every time you have to call them they answer the phone by saying "how can I provide you with excellent customer service". What a joke. In all of my time in this industry I have never posted a review on another business I work with. However the service from multiple people in this company was so bad that I felt something needed to be said to make potential customers aware. read more

Terrible company. 10/10 would not recommend. They are not helpful at all and delay the process on filing a claim using the GAP coverage. There is no way it should take 8-9 months to process a claim. I would absolutely not recommend them. read more

Why don't these review sites allow a "0" (zero) rating. DO NOT use Smart Auto Care. In early 2021, I purchased a used 2012 Land Rover LR4. I spent an additional $4150 for a "Premier" vehicle service contact with Smart Auto Care (SAC). for 60 months, 75k miles with a $100 deductible. Fast forward ~2 years and the check engine light came on. I took it to a local Land Rover repair facility, one that specializes in Land Rover vehciles. I've been going to this facility for my other Land Rovers for 20 plus years. Reputable and do good work. I use one other facility "in the area" and sometimes the dealership for oil changes of they have a special. After some checking, it was detemined that the vehicle had a code P0018 relative to camshaft/crankshaft discrepancy. After additonal diagnosis, it was determined that the timing chain is loose and therefore required a set of parts/procedures to be performed, total estimate ~$5200. ~$2000 of which is parts and $3177 of which is labor. And there's where my nightmare begins. According to SAC, they use an "average" of local labor rates to come up with an amount that they will pay. That isn't stated anywhere in the policy and so far, they have told me there is no way they can adjust the labor rate. They use the first 4 facilities that come up in a 25 mile radius search using Repairpal and then average those. They make no disctinction between an oil change corner gas station, or the dealership. They don't care. Not even for a premium vehicle. So, in the end, I have a $4100+ contract and a $5200 repair bill that will cost me $1700+ out of pocket because they want me to take to some random shop. Yes, they are paying for the parts and part of the labor, but nowhere near the cost of the repair and me having to pay the $100 deductible. DO NOT BUY a contract from Smart Auto Care unless yu understand this. If you have a local shop or a non specialized or non high end vehicle, it may work for you, but any premium automoble with specialized repair services or needs will NOT be covered because of hte "average labor rate" thing they are doing. For refercne, dealer rate is $245/hr, my shop is $205/hr and they are willing to pay $120/hr. Timing chain job is rated at 18.4 hrs according to the adjuster, so with the ~$80 difference in labor, it will only cost me ~$1500 plus tax, fees, deductible to get a repair done that IS covered under this contract and I should only have to pay $100. NOWHERE in the contract does it state that they "use an average" of local repair facilities. I was told I can take to any shop, which I can, but the contract says its at "their sole discretion..." and "..."we will pay UP TO...the published rate"....and they may request that I have the vehicle moved. I just read it that they of course, wouldnt pay over the shops published. I didnt think I had to know that they use some "average" calculation behind the scenes and wont pay the published rate, they will only pay the average rate of shops THEY choose based on their 3rd party software. They were very clear they are not requestiing I have it moved, only that they have no way to adjust the labor rate. Policy clealry states, "sole discretion" - so they do in fact have the right to pay "up to" the $205/hr at the Land Rover specialized facility, but they will ONLY pay the average of the mom and pop corner stores within 25 miles of ~$121 hr. TOTAL SCAM. ANYTHING TO NOT HAVE TO PAY. Update: I called the first 4 shops in the list that SAC provided, and SAC told me that these are the shops they use "to get an average labor rate" and all 4 shops said that they cant or wont work on my vehicle due to capability and or experience. How is it legal for SCA to provide repair facility labor rate comparisons from shops that CANNOT even do the work. All I am asking is that they pay the rate f the shop that my vehicle is at, nothgn more. They cant even provide a rate that is 60% of what the shop charges. SO I am stuck with paying 40% because they list shops that have some mysteriously low labor rate but when you call, they cant do the work. Again, they are scamming people out if their money because when it comes time for them to meet their obligations they have no answer and wont step up. New Update: Case was escalated to the "Power Train Manager" of SAC, Gary. He called me this morning and without me saying anything, he agreed to my email proposal of meetng in th emiddle of a the shop wher eits at $205/hr, and the shop that I called frm their list that quoted $160/hr. So they Agreed to $182.50/hr. I will cover the rmeaning remaining $20/hr. While I don't feel 100% whole in regards to the policy, I ddi offer that compromise, it was accepted and I feel that Gary made it very easy to meet them in the middle so that I am mostly covered and feel like i wasnt completed cheated or have to cover some crazy high repair bill. Thank you Gary. For the record, this isn;t the end. The tear dwn has to happen etc. to be cont.... read more

Smart Auto Care's customer service is absolutely horrible! My GMC Canyon has been sitting at the dealership for weeks as they and I jump through all the hoops for repair. Repair was approved by the adjuster but parts had to be provided by their supplier. Twice now, parts have been delayed in shipping with the most recent still "pending" in tracking. While I do understand that SAC cannot control FedEx deliveries, they certainly can let the shop that is working on my vehicle source the parts locally or reship then file claim with FedEx. Additionally, when I or the service advisor from the mechanic have called SAC, hold times are extremely long (sometimes over an hour) and phone calls are not being returned. I just spoke to Joe, a power train supervisor today, phone number (214)389-8720 he was going to return my call and did not. My service advisor has placed multiple phone messages with another power train supervisor again with no return call. Very disappointed with the lack of service provided from Smart Auto Care. read more

I purchased the extended warranty when I bought my Lexus sedan. It was a lease return vehicle. I have been happy with the car and had it serviced according to the manufacturer protocols. About 6 months ago I began to have a dull clunk in what sounded in the cab like a motor mount type noise that was pronounced in city driving. I had our regular mechanic look at it and ask the warranty people if they would evaluate the struts. They were very difficult to reach on the phone ( average waiting time over 20 minutes, the recording states that there are over 10 customers in line ahead of you everytime you call). Once he got them ( after giving up several times to conduct other business in his shop) they arranged for an adjuster to come over. He looked at the undercarriage and said that the problem wasn't from the struts. My mechanic tightened up what he could do and we motored on till about four weeks ago. I took the car to a Goodyear service center and asked them to evaluate the same ( now louder) noise. They determined that the struts and control arms, as well as,the tires were in need of attention. They, too, tried unsuccessfully to reach out to the warranty dealer (with wait times of over 10 minutes). I called the company and was told that any conversations on service would need to be held with the inspector and the garage tech. I could sit at the garage and wait on hold till they got together if I chose. Not my idea of a good scenario. After about a week of phone calling tag the inspector was dispatched and authorized the control arms repair. SmartAutoCare bought the parts, as they could get them cheaper than the garage. That also took 3 extra days to get the work started. I purchased 4 new tires and paid to have the car front end aligned. The struts were $1700 apiece and could only be sourced through Lexus. I paid my part of the bill and came home to make a complaint through the only phone number I have or could find on the web. The noise was still in the back of the car. It took me three tries to get to an agent, as i was disconnected twice on their "new" phone system. I requested a copy of the inspection report and what would constitute failure of the strut definition. They promptly emailed the inspection report, but the tech on the help line said that they needed to be leaking. I asked to speak with the supervisor or register a complaint in their review process and was given the mailing address with no "attn: to" info. I am going to ask for another review with inspector and myself being present, otherwise i'll just wait till the strut factures and drive my car sounding like a jeef vs. the f - type I bought. Overall, one of the all-star lowest customer service experiences I've had in 72 years. The only plus so far is that the person on the other end is an english as a first language speaker. read more

This company is a complete scam. Be aware and watch out they will not only make you wait months at a time to approve or deny a claim, but they will give you the run around about everything and anything they do not pay for everything. So you end up paying a majority out-of-pocket even though your deductible may only be a 100 or $200. You're gonna end up paying hundreds additionally awesome? When it cupped up to major repairs. Look at your contract because they will not cover any repairs such as your transmission or your engine, if it's worth more than a trainer of your car. I recently have just lost a vehicle. That was very special to me because it was my first brand new car They stated because I needed an engine and it wasn't Equal to the amount of the trading of my vehicle they refused The repair and stated that there was corrosion in the engine B.E aware do not waste your money look elsewhere This warranty company has caused me thirty five thousand dollars in debt read more

I have been in the auto industry over 20 years. This is by far the worst warranty co I have had to work with. Hour long wait times to place a claim. They don't send payment once completed. You must follow up many times before they pay. Only after they pay, do you find out they have a deductible. The manager listened to the call, and verified they agent told me there was not a deductible. Also, when i called for payment another rep confrimed the dollar amount and this did not have the deductible removed. They also did not mention a deductible. They still refused to cover this. The manager then became very rude when I asked for a supervisor about him, and then hung up on me. No repair shop should accept these contracts, and no consumer should purchase. It is a waste of time and TOTAL SCAM! Everyone working for them should be locked up for fraud. read more

Terrible company. I purchased GAP insurance for my Chrysler Pacifica Van and had an accident that totaled the car. They refused to pay the gap, stating that my van fell under the commercial definition as a 10,000-pound vehicle used for commercial purposes more than 50% of the time. The agent seemed thrilled to deny my claim. She was looking for anything she could to deny. Stay away!!! read more

My vehicle was totaled out and I was left with a $6800 balance. I had to fight and pull their teeth for MONTHS to get them to payoff off my claim. Want to know how I got it done after they ignored my emails and documents I sent for weeks and weeks. I went back to the car dealer, spoke with the finance lady, and she called and tore them a NEW ONE. she is selling insurance to buyers at the dealer and they aren't paying the claims? She was so helpful with the reps nasty attitudes. DON'T BUY GAP INSURANCE FROM THE DEALER, GET IT THROUGH THE INSURANCE AGENCY INSURING THE VEHICLE. NEVER AGAIN will I use a dealers "suggested" gap agent. Claim May....payoff date..... September. They wanted me to default on the loan so they wouldn't have to pay it. STAND FIRM, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS always! read more

Smart Autocare - What is covered under this so called warranty - Auto Insurance Near Me

I know now I should hade read the reviews on smart Autocare ... but hind site is 2020. My mechanic tried 3 times to get thru to there office for review and a claim # and each time got frustrated with hang ups and long wait times Honestly they have plenty of other paying customers to take care of. So now even thou I called when I broke down and got a Service claim # they act like I didn't get the correct information and approval. They knew I had a problem with my car. I couldn't even get a tow company to come out when they heard who I was represented by. I finally called AAA and they were there in 20 min after waiting 3 hours for help from This is the second claim and the last time they stiffed me for 1/2 the bill as well. They expect to take there time and tie up your car for days on approval and parts. They hunted me down for my business, but now I'm just a customer they can decline to pay. SVC is not an option it is a necessity with a vehicle when it breaks down. I will never recommend this company. They are a rip off and I am extremely disappointed. Clearly Smart Autocare has a reputation I took my vehicle in for SVC and the regular SVC station I had used for SVC on this car many times was not interested in doing business with them. What does that tell you? it tells me i have the wrong company representing me on my extended warranty. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. I was riding with my friend Esther Anthony and her family. She recently had a transmission replaced by you guys in the last year that was a crappy rebuilt nissan cbt transmission. While i was riding with her the same problem that was wrong with the old transmission started happening again to where we had to pull off every few minutes on the shoulder of an expressway so the car would start picking up speed again. Which was extremely dangerous and we had a child in the car too! They refuse to pay for a new one even though they gave her a faulty trans as a replacement. You guys need to make this right! read more

If I can rate them a -1000 I WILL!! They don't process documents for your claims till you call them, so you will constantly have to call to make sure your claim is moving along. my claim has been open since Feb 2024 and it's now July 2024.if you see this gap claim listed as the gap insurance when you purchase a car.. probably best to stay away from that dealership AND GAP INSURANCE. both are crooks. read more

I would give them 0 stars if possible. Contract is not worth the paper it is written on. Finds any excuse not to cover a claim. They ask for receipts them look for any reason to deny the claim. Stated missing mileage on one receipt but attached state inspection showing date and miles. Then said receipts were missing vin number of car. I understand they do not want to pay for repairs on a 2006 car. Do not waste your time with them. read more

This is the WORST warranty you can buy, they estimate the cost using a used or aftermarket parts and they have horrible customer services.

Wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased this total exclusionary warranty with smart tech. They are horrible. Super rude too. I only talked to one nice lady out of 6. They wont cover the dvd player in my headrest because it has scratches(that werent there before) They said it has fluid damage. I just bought this. The technician put mechanical failure. It works intermittently. My husband is a master tech and said that you can't determine that by looking. This is BS. They have taken since the 17th just to respond. I still dont have my car. read more

Whatever you do stay as far away from this company as possible. My wife is handicapped and I bought an extended warranty from this company. To start my air-conditioning unit had problems. I was told by my local garage that they were waiting for a part to be shipped to them to finish the repair. It was being set by this company to save it a couple of dollars. The meet thing was my transmission. This is my only vehicle to take my wife to doctors appointments and physical therapy Smart Auto Care after 3 weeks informed me they would not honor this auto repair because I was 10 thousand miles over the schedule maintenance. Please people read your warranty information closely before you purchase a extended warranty from this company. Signed a Proud Veteran. read more

On Dec 5th I had my car towed to the Infiniti dealer of Orlando. On Dec 6th Infiniti submitted inspection info. On Dec 13th we finally heard back from warranty company (JD). Stated that they will provide engine but Infiniti's rate ($230) is over the average rate that the warranty company will pay for ($145). And that I'd be responsible for the cost. JD (warranty rep) suggested that I shop around to other shops to find lower rate to avoid me having to pay any balance. I spoke it over with the Infiniti shop and they were willing to reduce the rate to $199. JD stated that I'd be out of $3000 with that rate. I began shopping around and found Service Center of Orlando. On Dec 19th, I had my car towed to Service Center of Orlando. Spoke with head mechanic Richie. On Dec 22nd, they completed the diagnostic test and results were the same as Infiniti's. I need a new engine. This information was related to the warranty company on Dec 27th. A claim was created. Claim number: 2312-10606. On Jan 3rd, the warranty company requested an estimate. The estimate was emailed over same day. Richie provided a screenshot as confirmation for my records. On Jan 5th the warranty company sent out an inspector. The inspector checks the car and inform Richie that the car needs a new engine and he will suggest this to the adjuster (JD). We could not get in touch with JD for a number of days and on Jan 11th, he contacted Richie and stated that they will only replace the coolant reservoir because the inspector stated that there was a leak. Richie informed JD that the inspector never performed a test on the coolant reservoir nor did he request the auto shop to do so. Richie emailed JD a video and picture of them testing the coolant reservoir during the initial inspection, no indication of a leak, with that JD stated that he spoke with his supervisor and they will only cover the coolant reservoir replacement. I've paid on this warranty for 5 years, never had a problem with my car. Routine maintenance and ware and tare on tires, wiper blades, brakes etc. Please assist. I'm still without my car and still paying on the warranty. XOXO. read more

Ugh. Read the fine print, which we didn't receive when Colorado Springs Dodge sold us an unlimited Total Exclusionary policy on a RAM. Total engine replacement. They won't cover many components of the replacement...not even spark plugs. Exhaust manifolds on both sides failed. "Due to hardware" is what they said...so they don't have to cover. Took too long for them to determine what they were going to honor and was without a vehicle for 5+ weeks. Your mechanic will have to fight for you throughout the process. I went against Dave Ramsey's advice and bought the warranty. Shame on me. read more

Worst experience ever, They will find all the excuse to not pay. Purchase my car at 49373 miles , my AC Actuator mechanically failed at 50400 miles , leaving my AC not working at 90 degree weather. As per the computer said it was faulty at 49200 miles I tried to explain to them that it was working, the code is a fault code. and it can stay there for awhile until it clears itself. It could have been a small debris that got the actuator door stuck during that time and it cleared out. But now the actuator is actually broken. I haven't seen my care for a week now. If anyone has been victimize by this company please message me or email me. smartautocarelawsuit@gmail.com This business practice will need to stop. read more

Absolutely the worst. They don't pay for nuts or bolts. They sent out an inspector that takes 48 hours, for a tie rod?! They also will not pay for the alignment. They do not pay dealership prices.

SMART AUTO CARE, JERMEY SWEET, the woman who told me to take a "f**ing chill pill" (on a recorded line) and "BOBBY" : Have strung me along for 36 days now. my self and the repair shop where my truck is has been led along the entire time. theyve sent 2, 3rd party adjustors to the shop who have agreed the engine is condemned bc of heavy metal in the oil. They are now saying theyre not going to cover it. They tried not to pay bc i didnt have oil changes. I provided. They said i drove it. I provided a tow bill. They continue to "move the goal posts". They str refusing to pay for it now saying they will only cover the cost of the cam and the lifter (Which caused the heavy metal to enter my oil and engine). DO NOT ACCEPT THIS COMPANY WHEN BUYING A USED CAR AS YOUR WARRANTY COVERAGE COMPANY. There is hundreds of bad reviews online not just this one. Sincerely, Paul Carufe, owner of the 2014 ram 1500 you have been screwing over for almost 40 days with zero end in sight. read more

I have an expensive all inclusive warranty on my 2017 jeep. The front driveshaft went out. My mechanic filed a claim and they said my jeep was still under the factory warranty. This was on July 22, 2022. I took my jeep to the Jeep dealer who gave me a print out showing that my had no warranty from the factory it had expired seven days before I filed the claim. They lied. Now they are slow walking my claim I have called multiple times sent over to them the proof that I have no factory warranty. Be careful with this company. Seems like a scam. read more

I was duped by Endurance into a policy with this company that I have never heard of. I had engine failure 6 months after purchasing my vehicle and this warranty company denied my claim twice , and as the engine continued to fail they breached our contract because of the cost of repair. Initially the 2nd claim was approved until the prices came in and then they denied it. They're using the excuse that I continued to drive it after they denied the claim earlier this year but had they upheld my contract none of this would have happened so I guess they expected for me to just park my car and leave it forever since they wouldn't cover the repair. I have only put 4000 miles on the car in the 16 months ive had it. They have poor business practices and now I have to spend more money suing them because they don't honor their contracts. read more

I do not recommend that you purchase an extended warranty through this company. Another address for them is: PO Box 852770 Richardson, TX 75085 The dealership will sell you on this like you will be covered for everything. I have the top tier plan and even though they did pay out twice on it, I also had to pay out of pocket for deductibles both times and they will not approve original parts, which my mechanic was not happy about. They took forever to approve the claim, therefore leaving me with a rental car bill of 10 days and then they have the audacity to only refund me for 2 days worth of the rental. All the mumbo jumbo legal jargon they have as part of the way they word how they cover a rental car is BS. They basically only cover for the time it takes for the repair shop to fix the car. My car was inoperable, and I can't go without a car when I have jobs and family and responsibilities. I'm paying $5000+ on this BS warranty and you can't cover my car rental? You take your sweet time to approve the claim, which means additional days that I'm paying out of pocket for a car rental. I will be cancelling this plan as soon as I can. Nobody has the time to deal with this type of crappy warranty service. They will do anything to not pay out what they promise, but boy do they milk you for the illusion of coverage. read more

Trust the negative reviews. 24-48 hours to process a claim is false. The warranty company has to purchase the parts, and good luck finding a shop that will accept outside parts for repairs. if you do find one, depending on the type of repairs, it could take months to get your vehicle back. Diehl made this warranty sound so good, but yet they cover nothing. I do not recommend buying this warranty. The stress is not worth it. Do your own shopping around for a warranty, don't let a car dealership talk you into this so called "warranty" read more

This place is a joke to deal with as an automotive shop owner I have never had a warranty group be as difficult to deal with. I will tell anyone buying a warranty always avoid any company that contracts this company. They are rude delay the process of a timely repair and will question every diagnosis they are given. It is an absolute joke of a company, and deserves 0 stars but the rating does not allow it. read more

I purchased a auto warranty from this company for 6k best one available. My car broke down on the way back from big bear. From beginning of this claim, agent Gay was threatening me that if I didn't have records they couldn't take care of my car. I produced those service records. Now the new excuse is that my car had an oil leak that I didn't address, that caused a belt to slip and damage a bunch of stuff. Well if I serviced my car then I did take care of it. There is absolutely no way of proving how long the oil was there. I was driving back from bear mountain where there was snow everywhere so of course my car had dirt on it. This company will do whatever they can to not pay for your car if it breaks down. I would never purchase a warranty from these crooks again. read more

I know there's lots of negative reviews here, and I didn't read them until AFTER I needed to use this warranty, so I was scared to death. However after having my F150 diagnosed with a bad turbocharger on the driver side, a claim was submitted by my dealership, and a brand new turbocharger (at least $1200) was approved within 24 hours. I think many of the negative reviews come from people whose repair isn't covered by this warranty. There are certain tiers that cover certain things. I have the total exclusionary, and the process was trouble free. Read your warranty! If you only purchased one type of coverage, not everything will be covered. Total exclusionary takes care of 90% of the parts on your vehicle. read more

Having the smart auto care warranty was one of the worst experiences I've had to deal with. I needed to replace the engine on my 2010 Chevy Silverado and the runaround I got from the representative named Gay McGee was so unprofessional, she lied!The wait time to get my truck fixed was 6 months! I would not recommend this Company/Warranty!!!! read more

I purchased a warranty through endurance, and suddenly, it is administered through smart auto. I was also told to definitely take it to a dealership if any work was needed when I purchased this warranty. The first issue I had, they would not cover the labor rate. I called them several time and sat on hold for 50 to 60 min each time. They told me that the average labor rate was 150 and the dealership is charging 235 per hour, so I needed to cover the difference. The dealer quoted 9 hours, and Smart Auto will only pay 5 hours. Agan, I need to cover that as well. WTF? I asked who I needed to go to that would charge an hourly rate they would pay in the time they allow, and I was told anyone in the repair pal app. I went to the app and called every repair shop within a 25-mile radius and found that the cheapest is 230 per hour for this car. I again called Smart Auto and asked where they got the 150 per hour from. They said it was an average labor rate for the area. How can that be? To be an average, that means they found shops at half that rate. I asked where those places were, and they said there is nothing they could do. I spent 8 or more hours on the phone and had a huge bill to get my vehicle repaired. This company is absolutely the worst, and Endurance is no better for doing the old bait and switch. If they told me Smart Auto was going to service the contact, I would have read reviews and for sure would have gone somewhere else. Even worse, endurance sent me an email offer to cover this vehicle, and then after purchase, they say we can't help. read more

One of the worse extended car warranty options out there. The salesman stated that the "advantage care" coverage, was their best option to ensure they cover engine, transmission, and most other drivetrain components or parts. However, they did not bend over backwards for their customers and promise what they say and advertise on their website. Instead, they bend their customers over, to make sure they pay out of their pocket. So that Smart Autocare can save on money on their claims. Take your money and get another extended warranty coverage other than Smart Autocare. Their company mission statement and motto should be read, "we conduct bad business, on extended warranty". read more

I gave them a 1 because they didn't have a negative -10, I​ can Guarantee you one thing this company is the biggest crooks in the extended warranty business. If you want to hear the whole horror story behind the scenes please reach out to me before you buy from this company. Transmission went out in my Tahoe and I have produced all records and receipts they have asked for except for 1 thing and I bet you can not guess what it is, not that I don't have proof but just how they have nit picked every little thing trying to get out of paying their end of the bargain.
