Rude customer service and unprofessional unnecessarily abrupt emails (and this was for a claim they were actually paying out so not contentious or difficult) admin team either wonderful or down right rude and aggressive in tone when asking for certain documentation to support claim. Felt like I was being shouted at by “admin support”

Do not touch this company... My van went to a garage which warrentywise recommended for a gearbox change, was told I would have my van back within 3/4 days, 4 wks later my van is still sitting in the garage they recommended after telling me that a "Gearbox Specialist" was going to inspect parts and give the go ahead to get replaced, this "Gearbox Specialist" never turned up, surprise, after they told me for wks he was on his way. Warrentywise said I was entitled to a courtesy van until my van was fixed but that didn't happen until wk 3 of my van being in the garage and then had a call to say I had to take it back after 7 days. In the end as I'm self employed and needed my van to make a living just like these people at warrentywise I told the garage to replace the gearbox and I would pay and then sort it out with Warrentywise after it was done. Warrentywise response was "its not in there policy for me to give instruction to get my van fixed which was stuck in a garage which they recommended for 4 wks doing nothing while I was loosing money" so my claim was declined, This company is an apsolute joke and wouldn't touch them even if there was no other warranty company around, BEWARE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY, I CANNOT BE MORE CLEARER

We have a small family run business selling used vehicles and have always supplied a warranty funded by ourselves. We had heard about Warrantywise and enquired about the different options available for applying to our sales vehicles . A Warrantywise representative travelled to see us and explain the different options available. Katrina Sparks is now our representative and ready to help if we have any questions or need further guidance. The level of knowledge and professionalism was second to none. We feel very fortunate to have learned about your company and hope to further our business with this level of service. I do hope you can thank and share this review with Katrina Sparks as I'm sure good reviews create good moral . Most kind regards Rich @ velde4x4

More expensive than a BMW top level warranty, and even after I told them were too expensive, they still continued to call me despite me telling they were more expensive than the dealer warranty, and by some margin, twice as much!!!!!!! More sales focussed than customer focus. I will avoid in future.

Dishonest and lies - ignore marketing hype Wrote to Declan Bailey on 25 August 21 about the below. No response. Not surprised when all of the below points to a company that is dishonest and has no issues lying at the highest level. Warrantywise refused my claim to replace Shocks Absorbers (SA) on the grounds of “heavy misting”. They justified this by sending me a link from an Australian website which states, “Heavy DIRT” This is because the words “heavy misting” linked to SA do not exist on this planet. It is heavy leaking. According to Warrantywise there is no difference between oil and dirt. The company creates words so they do not have to pay claims and increase profits. That is why they have chosen not to give its customers the option to go for independent arbitration if you disagree with the company. You MUST take them to Court. A good reason not to buy or renew your warranty with this company. Their engineer described one SA as “heavy misting” when its heavy leaking due to being defective. Audi had already confirmed heavy leaking and needing replacement. MOT passed 7 weeks earlier with no advisories i.e. no issues with SA. Willson found another excuse to reject my claim - wear and tear. How can a SA go from perfect to HEAVY leaking in 7 weeks and be wear and tear (see B3.2 of T&C)? They then found another excuse - co-founder told me “leaking is not covered” yet they say in their marketing hype they paid out at least 14 such claims, one costing £9k! So no issues lying at the highest level. Warrantywise proudly say Quentin Willson is the arbitrator / has last say and we are all supposed to say fantastic. Let’s look at some facts. Willson helped Toby Whittaker (the father of the owner of Warrantywise) market Store First promising 85% return in six years – check it out on YouTube or google the words "Store First and Willson". This is a must read before you purchase a warranty. Store First was shut down and investors lost some £300 million including many pensioners. How much of the £25 million Willson is now worth came from marketing this company? Did he pay back the money he earned from this company to the poor pensioners? I cannot find anything maybe he will tell us. Website says, “It was one of the highest profile as its advertising and marketing materials were fronted by television presenter Quentin Wilson.” He is doing it again with Warrantywise. Willson says “I'm so confident that Warrantywise is the market leader, I'm prepared to say in writing that I believe it is the UK’s best used car warranty you can buy." The last time he said something so confidently pensioners and others lost all their money due to Willson making false promises of 85% return. Do not fall for this hype. Willson was convicted in Court for clocking back mileage when he was a car dealer. He is NOT the owner of the company neither is he a shareholder. He is a paid consulted and no doubt paid handsomely. The question you have to ask is this – is Willson going to look after the company’s interest that pays him or your interest as the customer. This is called conflict of interest and normally people in such positions declare this so that customers can make objective decisions. Willson has opted not to do this. Warrantywise’s profits are down by almost £1million. Could this be behind the refusal of my genuine claim and the lies and excuses and weasel words? The company says it paid the following claims (this is just three examples of over 1000). No wonder a lot of customers are disappointed because they are brainwashed into thinking they will pay all claims including in excess of £40,000! High time Willson started to level up with the people who have trusted him and provide date of registration of these cars, the date the claim was made and the amount paid for each claim. Also, what claims have been rejected so that customers can make objective decisions. This they won’t do as it is all marketing hype just like Store First. Look for a company with no marketing hype and false promises and access to independent arbitration (a must). LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR Engine £40,701.00 LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO Engine £40,614.23 MCLAREN MP4-12C Gearbox £26,000.00 Response to Warrantywise's response: Your engineer did not know the fact that 7 weeks prior to his inspection, the car passed MOT without any advisories. Also if it was not sudden failure, why did warrantywise staff google the internet to find the words "heavy misting" which does not exist and linked it with heavy dirt to justify its decision? When that didn't work you responded its wear and tear. When that did not work, you lied and said its leaking. Isn't this the reason why you do not offer arbitration so that you can reject genuine claims by continuing to move the goal post including lying? Reply from Warrantywise 2 hours ago Good morning, I am very sorry to hear you are unhappy with the outcome of your recent repair request; however, I would like to clarify that we declined your repair request based on the findings of the Independent Vehicle Examiner we instructed to your vehicle, given that they stated your shock absorbers hadn't suffered a Sudden Mechanical Breakdown, as defined within your Warranty Terms. I must assure you that no Warranty company will cover you for a part that has not yet suffered a failure. I appreciate this is not ideal, nor is it the outcome you would have hoped for; nonetheless, you have been advised of our final stance on this matter and this is the decision we will abide by, of which is in full adherence with our Terms and Conditions. I apologise that we cannot assist you further here. Regards, Olivia

There sales team promise you the world. When its time to use their service they will keep your claim pending for months. Requested a call back from there supervisor and that never happened. they don't care about the customer. They breached the contract and won't even respond to my numerous attempts to make contact. Frauds all of them.

The WORST experience ever. I purchased a warranty plan with MOT protection. I feel this was mis sold. Warrantywise refused to pay for a repair necessary for MOT pass. Made numerous experiences to resolve this, but experienced rude staff, no help, no reply, no help from QUENTIN. Facing to be without a car and not able to take the children to school.

only giving one star because unable to give nought. Crank shaft snapped on Range Rover and warranty wise declined to pay as they said wear and tear even though my mechanic who trained with Land Rover says that it is definitely not the case but is a fault in the part. Since when do independent assessors get appointed by one side of a dispute. If they are independent they should be agreed on by both parties so we know that the decision will be fair and square. Only had the car 11 months and this is the 2nd claim that they have rejected where the decision was disputed by the garage.

When selling you the warranty they offer and promise you the world. However, when something goes wrong with your car THEN magically nothing is covered and you’ve been paying £50-100 a month for no reason whatsoever. Legalised scam is what warranty wise are.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I have seen the bloody warnings from people but I just did not believe it. I thought to myself I have everything in order and they can't find a reason to refuse a claim But GUESS WHAT, this company must be related to the Satan organisation. Everything was correct until they send an examiner which says that his opinion is that the fault happened three months prior to starting the policy despite showing the mileage photo of it being faultless. Trust me and I can't stress this enough is to avoid them at all costs. Go to warrantydirect because they will repair your car although they might be 20 pounds a month more expensive but so bloody worth it.

so if you love a joke then 100% you need to take out a warranty with this company, because that's what your going to get if you try and make a claim. I took out the highest level of plan possible on my car that covers everything they say... well the turbo failed on my car due to a wear and tear issue which is meant to be covered, after countless phone calls to them chasing everything up and not getting contact back they finally decided to send out a 3rd party assessor. how confirmed it was a wear and tear issue. I was then told they still would not cover the repair because there was not a sudden failure to the part. wear and tear in definition is when a part is worn out over time so there will never be a sudden repair and this company will use this every time you try and make a claim on any part under these conditions. complete waste of time and money, if you look through any reviews your not likely to find a highly rated one from a customer who has made a claim. AVOID AVOID AVOID !!!!

Do not take out this warranty Had an oil leak about 6 weeks after buying my car and the hassle to find a vat garage to check my car over was crazy as they were all refusing to work with warranties.Just that alone was a problem.Warrantise do not pay for the issue at all. I'm going back to the seller of the car and doing a small case claim as buyers have rights within 3 months of buying a car. Never again waste of time and money
