Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns, and I deeply apologise for any inconvenience and confusion you may have experienced. It's important to us that we address any discrepancies in service and ensure that your vehicle is properly cared for.

According to our reports from the garage, the authorisation and payment were made for the replacement of the Suspension Arm and Wheel Bearing. We did not, however, receive any information or quotes regarding the replacement of a Strut. If the garage advised you that a new Strut should be fitted, this seems to be a miscommunication for which we are keen to resolve.

We would like to look into this matter further to better understand what occurred and what should be done to rectify the situation. Could you please contact us at your earliest convenience?

Although sceptical of these kind of used car warranties, I have been pleasantly surprised by the service provided by Blackstar. They have quickly and fairly dealt with the issues I have had with a recent used car purchase.

Happy with my Experience!!

I was a little skeptical after reading reviews, but I'm happy to report that my experience was excellent with this company. Even with a few small issues, the warranty ultimately offered sufficient coverage. Their customer support was accommodating and keeping your updates promptly. The service was above my expectations in general. I'm happy with my experience and would suggest this business.

Unresponsive, uninterested and never pay out

They say that you should get a response to a claim in 48 hours. First contact I called to chase up after 3 days and then had to call again as I didn't get the call back I was promised.

I am expected to pay for inspection/diagnostic of a problem which was done. They however decided it wasn't enough and wanted me to pay for half the job e.g. stripping the car apart to get to the part that needed changing to show the damaged part. This was unnecessary as it had already failed a test to show the part was faulty.

With no other choice I did as asked and had the car in pieces at the garage and sent the pictures requested. They say you can't get a repair carried out untill they have okayed it so my car stayed in pieces waiting for the 48hour response time.

I chased them on day 3 and said I would get a call back. On day 5 the garage had to continue with the repair regardless. 2 weeks on and I talked to a lady that sounded like she was about to nod off, said they she would look into it. I said that wasn't good enough but she said that there is no one else I can talk to. I asked how to go about a complaint and was told to send it to the same email. Considering there lack of response to everything else I'm not going to hold my breath.

So they were very unresponsive and in the end have paid out nothing. This is more like insurance than a real warrenty and they will get out of paying if they can.

Not even worth one star

The Warranty this company offers is not worth the paper it is wrtten on. I would have gave this company zero stars, unfortunately you have to give one star in order to write a review. If you as a customer have brought a vehicle and the Warranty is covered by this company, I would advise you to get the vehcile checked by an independant garage before purchasing. It appears this Warranty Company does not cover anything on a vehicle that is a moving part. We purchased a vehicle that after two months had a faulty p2200 Sensor Circuit Bank Fault, only to be told by the Warranty Company that they do not cover this. I must also stress the customer service you recieve when calling this campany leaves a lot to be desired. To sum up I would give them a wide birth.

Very poor

Very poor ! My car was off the road for 3 weeks at the garage they use , now a lot of the bad experience could be more with the garage they sent the car to as after 3 weeks the car had the same problem and when I took it for an impartial opinion on what the problem was I was told that it looked as though the garage had put a bottle of cataclene in the car to bodge it . They will claim they are a warranty company and they paid for my car to be fixed , but the problem is they chose the garage to send it to and they were cowboys. So unfortunately they are tard with the same brush. Also when I was ringing up to find out what was happening no one knew ?
