No help whatsoever. There's no need for me to even explain my review, there are so many others who have already said the same thing I'm going through with my so-called warranty. Very sad.

Most the time then don’t approve the estimate from the mechanic is really a bad company So if you want to loose your money go ahead

The info needed by the mechanic was not properly relayed from Cars
to the mechanic, thus holding access up for my car usage. Also, my
car was still ridable before the repairs. Cars Plus would not let me
use my car at all, until parts were shipped to my mechanic and repaired. I guess Cars cannot trust customers or customers mechanics to be honest!! Cannot figure out any other reason!

Covered some but not every thing stated in the documents. Only covered percentages of parts not full coverage unless I delayed repairs and allowed them to ship parts.

Horrible company

Horrible company! Beware transmission went out a few days before warranty ran out and they would only offer a USED transmission to fix my vehicle. Everyone knows that is not a good idea. You never know what kind of condition that 500 dollar trans was in. How they got BBB rated we will never know.

SCAM!!!

This warranty was definitely not worth the money, and the dealership that sold it to me didn't give me any other options. They're only open Mon-Fri 9-5 so if you break down on a Saturday, forget about it. They were closed the entire week of Christmas so I paid per day to have my car stored. When I called them to ask what service department they work with, they told me it was illegal to give me that info so I had to call a dozen places before I found one that accepts them. Things that are on my list of things that should be covered, end up not being covered. Its a scam! Shady dealerships only do deals with other shady businesses. This was by far the worst investment of my life, many tears shed over a P.O.S. car.

prettymuch worthless warrantee....

MY Ford manufacturer requires Ford motor parts only and CARS wanted to pay only for after market cheap junk. had a coil pack blow with a spark plug and had to have head machined... they would not approve to replace all 8 spark plugs...if your going to change 1 plug you need to replace a matching set! CARS only paid 75 dollars labor and the cost of parts...i had to pat the rest and and out of a Bill of around 600.00 they only paid about 100.00 of it i spent out of pocket over 500...

rip-off

rip-off - don’t buy this. You think you are covered until they deny it. I would not buy this if I had it to do over.

I had 2 things I needed:
- driveshaft flex joint ($160), CARS covered w $100 deductible
- transfer case motor ($1500). Not covered

Poor customer service and policy

I did not like the fact that when I called to ask if something was covered they would not answer that except to tell me to take it to a repair shop and have them submit the quote for approval. I was even told rudely that if I do not see it written out on the leaflet that it was obviously not covered. They also do not cover any wiring issue and I had to payout of pocket for a new door harness and keyless entry panel. Also I had very limited options for local coverage as most would not take this and required me to pay first.

I am very disappointed in the car protection I paid for. I paid for four years, and so far you have only put out a few hundred dollars. Where as I have put out almost $2,500 in repairs to my car . That you have not covers, I feel like I have wasted my money on your so called car protection.I hope you people can find a better way to treat your customers.
