I cancelled my warranty and they won’t acknowledge the refund owed
I cancelled my warranty, sent them the documents they requested and have followed up twice since I have heard nothing from them they keep saying they will look into it. I have given them till 2/17/25 to resolve this issue before my lawyer gets involved. Having gone back and researched them with the BBB, they have very negative reviews. Some say they are scammers. Looks like this will have to be resolved in the courts costing the more than the $1285 refund I am owed. Stay tuned. Buyer beware. 2/12 is last time I contacted them, previously contacted them twice before.
Interesting they say they have no record of my contract yet when I talked to them on 2/19/25 they said the process was started on 2/10/25. VSP 5198225

they denied all claims then when you…
they denied all claims then when you try to cancel your contract they place you on hold indefinitely. DO NOT USE THEM. SCAM
To add to this: the dealership tried to reach out to them on MULTIPLE occasions and he was placed on hold for over an hour many times and then it would just hang up. He expressed his frustrations with me and said this is the first company to ever put him through this kind of mess. Ace Auto kept telling the service advisor that they didn’t receive any documents the dealer submitted. I was relayed this information by the service advisor and called ace auto for myself, finally got through to someone extremely incompetent, but surprise, surprise- they had all the records that were submitted (all of a sudden). Then when it was time to get pay up… on a $24.5 bill, they offered to pay a hair over $700… you read that right. I have the “platinum coverage” too which covers just about everything minus wear items. I told them I’m aware the tires and battery won’t be covered.
They denied coverage for my leaking timing cover and valve covers, they denied coverage for my cv axle, they denied coverage for my coolant leak at the back of the engine, they denied coverage for my hood shocks, and I the one item they would (partially) cover was the windshield wiper motor… labor and part came out to 3.5 hours and $7xx but they would only pay a little over $700 which wouldn’t even cover the part. I have ALL documentation needed to prove it to you. I haven’t been able to use any of my coverage, I was forced to pay the dealers diagnostic fee ($570) and pick up my car without any repairs performed. I am currently building a lawsuit against this company and I will do whatever I can to put them out of business for their malicious actions. This is literally a scam and I wouldn’t give them a cent.
When you call to sign up, they couldn’t answer the phone quick enough. When you need anything once your signed up, good luck getting through. Try it for yourself: call and press the button that says you’re an existing customer and want to file a claim. A girl that can’t pronounce words correctly will answer every time and anytime you want to speak to someone higher up, “they are in a meeting and they will call you back” (they never call back)
Save your money. Don’t buy get scammed.
Edit 2: in response to your inaccurate replay, here is an email DIRECTLY FROM THR SERVICE ADVISOR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. Good morning,
To whom it may concern, our guest Mr. Rahimi brought his vehicle in for diagnostic/repairs on 12-19-2024 ( windshield wiper not operating properly ) after diagnostic my initial attempt to contact the extended warranty was not successful, after finally getting a hold of someone I was sent a link to upload any information in regards to the repair, I upload pictures and repair estimates and all the requested documents , did not hear back from the extended warranty company for few days, called the warranty company and I was informed that they have not received anything at all , I was told I'll get an email again and upload the information again, Finally after several attempts and not getting anywhere with the EXT warranty I contacted Mr. Rahimi and advised him I'm not able to get any response from the warranty company, He was nice enough to call himself and try to speak to the warranty, I deal with lots of Warranty companies on daily basis and definitely did not get treated properly ( seems like they try to do anything possible to not deal with claims ) , if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me 562-613-0959 EXT 2042 Or Email me (email blocked out), have a good day.
You guys are liars and full of it. Another company, “Elite Auto Protect” comes from the exact suite you operate out of with the reviews telling the exact same story as mine. Stop LYING!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify some of the details regarding your claim.
We want to address that there was no difficulty in reaching our customer support team. The delay came from the shop, which was initially unable to upload or send the necessary documents. These were later submitted 6-7 days later in a zip format. Our system is designed to make submitting repair estimates quick and easy, so we are uncertain why this issue arose. Typically, submitting documents through our portal ensures the fastest processing, and we apologize for any confusion.
As for the claim, after a thorough review, we had to deny coverage for several components due to exclusions outlined in your policy. Specifically, the following items were not covered:
Engine Oil Leaks (Valve cover seals & gaskets, VP seals & gaskets)
Engine Coolant Leaks (Rear coolant manifold, coolant pipes, hoses, adapters)
Power steering hoses leaking
Left CV axle boot leaking grease
Front hood support struts
Additionally, photos confirmed the use of aftermarket rims and tires, which also contributed to the denial of certain claims related to those components.
We did authorize coverage for the windshield wiper motor, but, as per the terms of your plan, some costs were not fully covered, which we understand is disappointing.
We are committed to making sure our customers are fully informed about their coverage, and we deeply regret any confusion that occurred during this process. If you have further questions or would like to discuss the situation in more detail, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We value your business and hope to resolve this matter to your satisfaction.

Total SCAM!
I am a Platinum Elite policy holder and had an approved claim for a $601.70 water pump repair for over 4 months that never got paid! This company is a total JOKE! they lied multiple times and said they sent checks when they didnt. I have spent hours on hold waiting to talk to someone only to be sent to a answering machine saying that they were in a meeting. I spoke to Mike, Marcus, Danielle, Angelica and Catherine and none of them were able to help me. I was promised that someone would call me back and they NEVER did. You can not trust this company at all!
Response from Ace Auto ProtectFeb 6, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We truly apologize for the frustration you've experienced, and we understand how upsetting it is to feel like you’re not getting the assistance you need.
After reviewing your claim, we found that the delay occurred because the necessary repairs could not be completed on the water pump until additional parts were replaced. Specifically, the Coolant Vent Hose, Serpentine Fan Belt, and Frostox HT.12 Coolant were found to be old and corroded. These issues were leading to the failure of the water pump, and replacing the water pump without addressing the underlying issues would likely result in another failure.
For us to proceed with covering the water pump repair, we needed to ensure that the coolant system was fully functioning and that the related components were replaced. This is part of our policy to ensure that any repair made is both effective and long-lasting.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. If you would like further clarification or to discuss this matter in more detail, please feel free to reach out directly. We are committed to helping our customers get the support they need and appreciate your understanding.

I canceled my contract in March of 2024 and I still haven't received my money. They keep lying, saying that it was sent out, but I haven't received anything. Strange how I receive all of my mail but that one. They keep lying. Now they say my money is being investigating it. Investigate what????? All they have to do is send me my damn money. I don't want to give them any stars. Because they don't deserve any.

Ace Auto Protect failed to pay the auto repair.
Ace Auto Protect failed to pay the auto repair shop for an approved covered repair. And when called and inquired about the missing payment they canceled the warranty with no refund in sight. This appears to be a fly by night warranty company. They based the amount of a part on how much it can be purchased on Amazon without any regard for the legitimacy of the part or the company selling the part. They have no customer service and only three people that run the business. Totally unprofessional.

Please run and dont even do business…
Please run and dont even do business with this company. They will take your money. No proper coverage, and they will give you the run around. Please just run and find someone else.

I purchased a motorcycle policy from…
I purchased a motorcycle policy from Ace Auto protect which didn't cover a motorcycle. It covered a Honda car. I canceled the policy in July. They got the paperwork which I sent back in August. At first they told me it was a 60-day wait to get your money back. I waited 60 days and called no money. And then they told me it was a 60-day business days. Wait. So in November I called and I still didn't get any money. Well here it is. December 13th, I've been told twice the check has been mailed. It has not arrived. I believe Ace Auto protect is a scam and you should be aware of doing business with them. I am going to report them to the Florida attorney general's office.
