  My car was towed to a car shop around August 15th to be serviced for an engine replacement. Proguard warranty is the company I use so I called them and they told me what shop I should take it to. After the car arrived the workers called proguard, proguard called me a few days later to get the claim approved. Proguard then delayed the claim, and sent an inspector in to check the car and told the car shop they will come August 23rd, they then said August 26th, but in fact they didn't come until August 27th. I've been calling the company and had got hung up on today by someone who works in the claim department, she sounds like a young Hispanic lady, also now my calls **** get answered at all and I need my car to co tinge working.

  Proguard is refusing to refund me my money. They have directed me to the dealership in which I purchased the vehicle from the dealership Route 512 Auto Sales in ********, ** is indicating that he will not submit a cancellation to the warranty company as the vehicle has not been in an accident nor has it been reposed by the bank. The dealership and I have no contractual agreement regarding in further business once the vehicle left his shop. My vehicle has had major items that needed servicing after I drove my car. Since the vehicle was sitting for months; due to me driving my companies car back and forth to work. I had no need to drive the new car. Once driven with in a 4 to 5 month time; the vehicle had a major exhaust issue that would not pass inspection; which cost me near $2,000.00 that the warranty said they do not cover. Now the vehicles AC need a compressor another $2,000.00 in which the warranty does not cover. I have been getting the run around between warranty and seller. I am asking for a third parties intervention in obtaining my refund back. As the warranty does not cover anything and I can utilize the money to fix my vehicle; out of pocket. I believe this is a scam to say the least.....

  ProGuards cancellation policy is clearly set forth in Section 7. CANCELLATIONS/REFUNDS. Every service contract may be cancelled for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. However as stated in Section 7.D., after 30 days, the contract may only be cancelled if the covered vehicle has been declared a total loss, stolen or repossessed. 
  
  While we regret ****************** is not fully satisfied, we remain confident that her requests have been processed within the terms of the service contract.  Considering the term of the service contract is 36 months or ****** miles, we look forward to providing ****************** with outstanding customer service and value for the remainder of the contracts term.

  Good Morning,
  
  Please note this has been an ongoing request since inception of purchase of the vehicle.  
  
  This is tied into my loan, upon documentation review from the start I requested refund of cancellation!
  
  I did approach "Route 512" , where the vehicle was purchased from, to no avail. Owner of said company refused to refund my money, and or submit request to do so!
  
  My position is still the same I have even had an attorney write a letter for refund months ago.
  
  I would like to rebut this decision and move forward with total resolution to my complaint!
  
  Thank you,

  I purchased a 2016 ****** Juke from a local car lot in May of this year, 2024. When purchasing that vehicle, I was skeptical because of the circumstances, but the owner of this lot specifically offered the ProGuard (1) Warranty with this SUV to give me peace of mind for 3 months/4,500 miles. 2 weeks ago the vehicle stopped pulling altogether. It didnt even want to change gears, so I contacted my local ****** dealership, and made an appointment to have my car brought in. Its been at the shop for 6 days as of today. The head mechanic has called me to touch base multiple times about my warranty, asking if the adjuster had called me, which they hadnt. Mind you, were still very much in our window of this warranty, and the quote given to replace the transmission which is what went down on the car was quoted at $6575. After contacting the gentleman over this several times over the past couple of days, leaving multiple voicemails because he wouldnt answer the phone, he finally calls the ****** Service Department back, informing them that they are only able to pay $1250 towards this job. With them STILL not contacting me back, I reached out to my adjuster yet again, to get details on this claim. No answer, again. My husband had to repeatedly call as I was at work, nearly 17 times just to get him to answer the phone. The adjuster then states that according to the fine print, theyre only at liberty to pay the $1,250.I then reach out to him myself on my lunch break, & am finally able to actually speak to him without it going to voicemail. He tells me the same thing he had told my husband, & stated That I knew what was covered when I signed the contract for the warranty., which first of all was incorrect, because I never signed anything. I politely asked for a confirmation number of our recorded call which he refused to provide to me. I then asked for a manager or supervisor to speak with, which he also refused to provide to me. This has all been a nightmare.

  Our records indicate a claim was initiated on Friday, 7/26/24.  A ProGuard representative spoke to customer's husband on Monday 7/29 and explained level of coverage.  The same representative spoke to customer on Monday 7/29.  The customer called again on 7/29/24 and requested to speak with a manager.  A claims manager left a voicemail for customer on 7/29.  The customer called ************** on 8/1 and left a message; our claims manager returned her call the same day and left a voicemail.  The terms of the service contract are clearly stated, and the limit of liability can be referenced at Section 2. Limit of Liability.  A copy of the customer's signed service contract is attached.

  I bought a warranty on a used car I purchased. I took my vehicle to a dealership per the warranty for transmission issues. The warranty company supplied a transmission. I drove my vehicle for about a week and began having issues again. I called the dealership who said to bring it back to get checked out. I took it in and they checked it out and said that the issue was the transmission which was just replaced. They called the warranty company to inform them the transmission that was supplied was not working. The warranty company asked for lots of information from the dealership to verify the work had been done. And then the warranty company said they believe that something else is causing the issue so they will not cover the repair which is supposed to happen covered by the warranty. The warranty company supplied a used faulty transmission and now will not make it right.

  The terms of the service contract exclude "Repairs or replacements of components of the Vehicle that were not operating properly in accordance with manufacturers specifications at the time of the sale of the Contract."  Given the customer's admission that the vehicle became inoperable on the day he purchased it and the inspection report indicating evidence of a long-term oil leak, ProGuard determined the failure existed prior to the sale of the service contract. According to the customer, the selling dealer has been involved since the vehicle's breakdown.  We encourage the customer to continue communicating his concerns to the selling dealer.

  The term of the service contract purchased by customer is governed by time elapsed and miles driven, which begins on the date of purchase.  ***** are calculated according to distance driven as evidenced by the vehicle's odometer.  Replacing a vehicle's engine with an engine that has less miles does not change the terms of the service contract.  When the customer contacted **************, our team explained that the vehicle service contract he purchased was expired by more than ****** miles.

  Purchased a pro guard warranty. Company is refusing to honor the warranty I purchased . My car has been and still is in the shop . Company is picking and choosing what they will cover although it states that it is covered under the warranty. They are refusing to pay for parts of the water pump which is part of the cooling system . I have a $100.00 dollar deductible. Which is all that I should be liable for. The company wants me to pay for labor cost . Although the warranty stats that all repair labor costs are covered through the warranty. The company is telling me that I need to come out of pocket for some of the labor cost. Which I disagree with. The company also wants me to pay for certain nuts and bolts to secure the pump . The company also wants me to pay for the belt that was damaged due to the water pump leak . If the company will not honor the warranty I paid for in the amount of over ***** dollars than I would like a full refund .if the company is not going to repair my car to the fullest with me only paying the 100 dollar deductible than I would like a full refund .
