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.

Quality service!!

From start to finish, I had unbelievable service. From reporting my issue, to having it resolved was a matter of a couple of phone calls. Each person I spoke to knew exactly what has been said previously, showing that they actually DO record what is happening and you don't have to repeat yourself. So happy I use TMO and nobody else. Highly recommend!!

Painless - as it should be!

I am very glad I bought a warranty for my car with TMO. There were zero issues with the claim: they asked me some questions and later followed up to say my claim had been authorised. Everything you hope/pay for in a warranty.

Great service from TMO.

My vehicle developed a fault. I contacted TMO. Vehicle was booked in by them at a local garage. Everything went smoothly. No problems at all.
Definitely recommend.
Special mention to Harry, he sorted it from start to finish. Made phone calls and kept me updated. Thank you for a great service.

I bought TMO motoring Warranty for a used LR Discovery 4

I bought TMO motoring Warranty with a Land Rover Discovery 4, 2016 with 46 000 miles on the clock, recommended by the vendor in Macclesfield. Today, after my second claim in six weeks I exclaimed “ you are the best warranty company in the world!” to the agent. The first fault was a gear select disc which my local garage dealt with direct with TMO. The second, a restricted performance fault caused by an air intake switch, was resolved immediately as I was about to take the vehicle on the continent. TMO retrospectively authorised this work and refund. I cannot recommend this company enough. Their agents are all straight forward, no nonsense people and highly professional. Customer service I have not experienced in years. Very competitive pricing too compared to main dealers and online warranty companies. I recommend you call TMO first if you are looking for a warranty on a used prestigious vehicle.

Disappointed

You definitely need to read the small print very carefully. They only pay out upto £40 p/h labour costs,so if you’re garage charge £50 or £60 p/h you will have to pay the difference. You don’t expect to pay in my case an extra £108 when you have only owned the vehicle for 6 months and have what you think is a years warranty. You expect to be paid in full and you don’t even get support from The Motor Ombudsman they are a waste of time and don’t contact you until you contact them 😡
Two hours after submitting this review I get an email from The Motoring Ombudsman saying thank you for your patience we are still dealing with my claim. They want 3 more bits of information that they already have I just give up, They just make it more and more difficult.
Despite your very long reply I still don’t agree with this outcome. I even had a phone call from a member of your team saying you would be prepared to pay me the £108 if I would edit my review and give you 5* why would I do this after I originally gave you 2* I couldn’t change it it would be like backing down. I will tell anyone not to waste their money on a very poor warranty. The best warranty I have had is with warranty wise far better and easier to deal with than TMO

Dear Mr Holt,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we’re sorry to hear you feel this way.

The aim of our response is both address your comments, and to clarify the support we’ve provided in your situation to help any readers understand a more balanced view on how we go above and beyond for all customers.

Firstly, we provide all customers the option of a TMO approved garage to avoid any shortfall in costs, though you chose to go to your own repairer before contacting us. Secondly, the labour rate condition is designed to help deliver fair and reasonable pricing for all customers and is a standard provision in almost all warranties. If this was uncapped, then pricing for customers would be totally unpredictable and likely increase. Lastly, over and above the information that is clearly detailed in your warranty documentation, we also communicated the consequences of using your own repairer on two separate occasions to ensure you were fully aware of potential shortfalls from the very beginning.

Despite the terms of your warranty and the awareness we raised to them, we still went above our contractual terms and have covered a almost £3,000 in repairs on your vehicle, leaving you with only £108 to pay - this just 3% of the total costs we've paid.

We understand that any out of pocket expense can be frustrating, but we believe our contribution of 97% of the bill demonstrates our commitment to supporting our customers, even beyond the terms of the warranty.

As for The Motor Ombudsman, we’re unable to comment on their processes, but we can assure you that we will continue to provide any support or necessary documentation in a timely manner and be fully transparent throughout the process.

We always aim to be clear, fair, and supportive, and we’re proud of the efforts we make to go the extra mile for our customers. We hope this clarifies the situation for anyone reading this review.

In response to the edit to your review, a member of our team contacted you to kindly ask that you adjust your review so it better reflects what has actually happened. As a goodwill gesture during our call, we offered to support you even further by covering the £108 shortfall. Unfortunately, you declined our offer.

Kind regards,
The Motoring Organisation

Problem sorted

Bought a 3yr old motor home 6 months ago ( from a dealership)and on its 3rd trip out two weeks ago the control panel failed so no lights/ water/ entertainment/ toilet etc. The woman from TMO tried her best to get someone to come to us to look at it but both she and myself were unable to find anyone able to help, however she kept us in the loop and was going to arrange a technician to look at it when we got home. After a second day the panel started working again but I was assured that our problem was all on record in case it happened again. Last week about to go on a 4 day trip only to find the the panel dead again, this time we were able to stop at the dealership en route who quickly confirmed the control panel had had it so a claim was put in for it to be replaced. Three days later after having to confirm how many miles we have done, the claim was agreed and we are now waiting for a new panel.

We’re sorry to hear about the issues with your motorhome’s control panel, but we’re glad that our team was able to support you through the process. While it’s unfortunate that no one could assist on-site during your trip, it’s great to hear that our team tried everything they could and kept you informed, ensuring everything was documented for future reference.

We’re pleased the claim has now been approved, and we hope the new control panel will have you back on the road smoothly.

Stress-Free Car Repair

When my car wouldn’t start, the AA arrived and identified a faulty starter motor. My car dealer confirmed the issue, and since I have TMO coverage, they covered the cost of the replacement. The process was straightforward and efficient, which was helpful. I am satisfied with the TMO service.

Couldn’t fault them really

Couldn’t fault them really. The only downside is many garages are weary of third party warranty work due to some who don’t pay or are awkward to work with. The garage I went with erred on the side of caution but TMO were good to work with, explained things to me (first time I’ve had to claim) and were more than happy to pay once the work was authorised and evidence given. Also very flexible with where I went. Definitely have the confidence in TMO if I need to claim again.
