    Pattern of Complaint:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning customer service issues; specifically, customers filing complaints are alleging long phone hold times, inability to submit claims online and lack of communication from the business. On March 28, 2023, BBB submitted a written request to the company encouraging them to address the pattern of complaints. 


    The business has responded indicating that due to recent internal company changes, the business is currently moving to the use of automated systems to handle their high volume of calls. They are working on improving the IVR (interactive voice response) system, online Claims portal and online Customer portal. The business is automating a number of processes that were traditionally handled by live agents and the changes are not without error and confusion for their customers. PMC indicated that its complaint volume is very small compared to its volume of customers.

    The problem is that when I started this warranty for my car the second time of service I was told a lie, that i would get unlimited oil change and tire rotation for my car. Now today I'm told that it's only 3 oil change per something that I don't even understand. The person who was explaining it to me was very rude and I end up paying for the oil change and tire rotation $80.00. I just want them to give me my $80 back because they told me a lie I took my car to ***** dealership July 3 2024 and got My car back July 5 2024

    I have been customer for about 3 yrs. I can never get a hold of them. Rude customer service. Recently my mechanic spent 60 mins on hold no answer. I called them and after 30 mins was connected to representative who refused to start repair claim since I dialed the phone and mot the mechanic. The PMC representative advised me that I should find a new mechanic since they asked me to call. The PMC representative said there is zero hold time and the mechanic should call back right away. As if the mechanic has nothing else to do but sit on hold while his actual work doesn’t get done.
