    Bought the warranty back in 2019, and tried to use it, the issues with the vehicle should have been more than covered seeing as the reason there was rocks in my engine was due to a faulty part that wouldn't regulate debris from getting into the engine. Of course they denied it and after fighting tooth and nail I paid 11k out of pocket for a whole new engine to be put in. I paid 1600 or thereabouts for the warranty and they never did anything except cause more issues. I let it go and then fast forward to today, I've requested a refund on my 10 year or 100k mile policy only to be told that I only got a 5 year warranty and that I've exhausted all funds. Even though I've never used the policy and should have at least 5 more years or about 60k miles left on the policy. Their contract states they prorate off mileage. Not months. And I've been told in writing that they do it off months. I've asked their reps to forward their recorded calls, and they've refused any documentation I have to show that my policy when discussed was supposed to be for 10 years or 100k miles. The rep on the phone Alexander R was absolutely disgusting in the attitude and explanation he tried to give. Provided false information and was honestly extremely degrading. This company is absolute thieves and should not be allowed to collect any money from consumers when they fail to provide any service.

    My experience with Ideal has been terrible. In October 2023 I experienced a fuel problem with our 2014 ********* Ideal offered an hourly repair fee to the dealer that was far below market that it was unacceptable to the dealer. Also the repair was going to take a week to complete because the dealer had to use a part that Ideal would source. Ideal offered a one day rental replacement. We canceled our policy then and had the repairs done out of pocket. I have not received a refund of the promised balance left on our policy and Ideal has not answered any calls or emails since the first week of January.
