To whom it may concern,
We can appreciate your dissatisfaction towards the decision made on your claim. In response to your accusations of our employees, it is worth stating that all of your requested information was issued to you in an efficient manner. Our inspector went out to view your vehicle and made the determination that your vehicle's failures were pre-existing to the purchase of your policy. This report is what caused to deny your claim. If you any information to provide us that would contradict this decision, we would be happy to ******* and review your claim.
Thank you,

Complaint: 21155547
I am rejecting this response because:
I am deeply disappointed by the unprofessional behavior of your representatives. During claim discussions, they were rude, disrespectful, and even went so far as to hang up on me multiple times and laughing at my expense knowing I was a woman and had no transportation for more than one month . Following the initial denial, my emails were blocked until I began sharing reviews, then I was threatened that my warranty would be canceled if I didnt remove my reviews which is not indicative of a reputable company. This experience has left me questioning the integrity of your operations. I urge you to address these concerns promptly.I provided the inspection report that clearly indicates no pre-existing conditions, as confirmed by the Porsche mechanic too.Despite this, the claim was denied again without any reconsideration . Im puzzled about what additional information is required!
This experience feels like a scam, and I am reaching out to BBB in the hope that you can help customers like myself from being cheated. I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into Dealer Loyalty Protections practices and consider taking action to prevent further instances of this nature. The company is a SCAM operating under a P.O. Box number in ********** somewhere!
I have not received any refund or resolution for my claim, my car remains unrepaired despite providing a clean inspection report of no pre existing condition certified by the mechanic at ****** . This lack of response and action is highly distressing and causing anxiety. I urge you to address this matter promptly.
Regards,

Ritkia,
We have responded to your complaints on multiple forums. As previously stated, we sent an inspector out to view your vehicle. The inspectors' findings were that the repairs requested were long term failures and preexisting to your recent policy purchase date. We understand it is an unfavorable outcome and do look forward to being able to assist you in any new claims moving forward.
Thank you,

Complaint: 21155547
I am rejecting this response because:
I am writing to seek clarification on a matter of concern regarding the recent denial of my warranty claim.
It was alarming to hear the suggestion that the car inspection I provided is deemed fake. I obtained the warranty immediately upon purchasing the Porsche, and according to its terms, the vehicle completed 1000 miles without any reported issues. The low mileage is attributed to its use solely for leisure purposes, and I firmly disagree with the classification of a pre-existing condition.
My intention is to pursue my complaint further, especially considering that *******************, the warranty company, has indicated that the claim should not have been denied. During a conversation with one of your representatives, the explanation given was a refusal to work with *******************, not a confirmation of a pre-existing condition.
It seems to me that the denial of the claim is more related to Dealer Loyalty Protection's reluctance to accept claims from *******************, rather than an actual pre-existing issue with my car.
I would appreciate urgent clarification on this matter to ensure a fair and accurate resolution.
Thank you for your prompt attention.

I purchased a truck and had the warranty added to my loan for $4000 on 10-14-2023. I was told by the car lot if I didn't buy the warranty the moment I leave the car lot that any repairs are on me. If I purchased the warranty I have 4 years or ****** miles where the warranty place will pay for repairs minus the $100 deductible starting that day. After a couple days the airbag light came on. The truck also wouldn't start unless the key was turned multiple times. I brought my truck to a certified Ram mechanic at Lithia Auto Stores ************. After an inspection done by a Lithia mechanic multiple items need repair. The driver door switch and door module needs replaced $738.54. The park brake shoes and hardware replaced $1,556.88. The WCM/ignition switch needs replaced $1,029.96. Blinker replaced $189. A wire that is improperly installed in the fuse box properly connected and not shoved into a fuse spot that has a fuse $189. other concerns too. I had ****** send me a quote to fix all the problems they found and was told with diagnostics and to fix all the problems they found would be $4482.00 after tax and that is what ****** submitted my warranty claim for. Dealer Loyalty Protection required a mechanic inspector to verify the work needed done and this was done. Dealer Loyalty Protection decided not to honor the contract and refuses to pay for any repairs. The person I spoke to at Lithia Auto Sales is ******************************* assistant servic manager direct # ************ main # ************. Please contact ****** to verify amount of claim and Dealer Loyalty Protection refusal of claim. I feel I have been scammed. Dealer Loyalty Protection sells warranties for used vehicles but Doesn't honor the waranty. I want dealer Loyalty Protection to honor the warranty I paid for and pay for the repairs.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: I had no problems starting the truck at the dealership. I was told there were no mechanical issues when i bought the truck. After having the truck a couple of days I had problems with the truck starting and brought it to a mechanic. My warranty started the day i paid for it. I am within the warranty time period and my claim should have been honored. I had to pay for repairs that should have been covered. I have gone to the dealership and asked for a refund on the warranty. the dealership said they will get me a refund. I have not received a refund yet.

I submitted a complaint against Dealer Loyalty Protection case # ********. I asked for a refund since this company is a complete scam and doesnt honor the warranty. Dealer Loyalty Protection said I had to go through the dealership to cancel/refund. I went to the dealership and was told I would get a refund and it would go to OCCU towards the principal of my loan. I started calling the dealership to find out why I hadnt received the refund after a few days. I received a text message from the dealership saying it could take up to 10 weeks to get my refund. This case with Dealer Loyalty Protection was closed because I was told I would get my refund. It has been more than 10 weeks. The dealership says they are waiting for Dealer Loyalty Protection to send the money and doesnt know why they are dragging. The dealership says their is nothing they can do. Please open this case.I had tried to use the warranty. I only had the truck 6 days and driven 54 miles when the claim was made. Dealer Loyalty Protection denied the claim so I asked for a refund. Dealer Loyalty Protection said I had to go through the dealership for the cancellation and refund. I did this and was told by the dealership the refund would go to the lending agency. After a few days I started to call the dealership because I hadnt received my refund. I received a text message from the dealership stating it could take up to 10 weeks. I called the lending agency and was told it could take up to 8 weeks. During this time my case was closed because I was waiting for a refund that I thought I was getting. I have text messages from the dealership salesman stating they sent the cancellation and are waiting on Dealer Loyaty Protection to send the refund. I have called Dealer Loyalty Protection and been told they havent received any cancellation. Please open this case so I can respond I have gone to the dealership and asked for a cancellation but I still havent received a refund.

Through the parameters of the policy that the customer signed, she is set to be reimbursed the maximum amount allowed. The check has not been sent, as we are still awaiting proof of repairs/customer payment to be completed.
Once the customer has provided the proper supporting documentation, a check will be issued to the customer.
This has been communicated multiple times to the customer, by multiple adjusters.

I pay for this service for my car monthly. I got a scratch and I went to fix it on 3/4. They do not open on saturdays so on Tuesday 3/7 I called and I was told it would be processed once I emailed my invoice which I did that same day. I followed up 3/9, no response, Followed up 3/30 on email no response. I decided to call 3/31 – my claim had not even been input into the system. They said they would put it. I called 4/10 my claim still has not been input into the system even though they said on 3/31 that they would. It has been over a month and nothing?? It’s a service that I am paying for the only reason I couldn’t call them beforehand is because they do not open saturday and I work and could not get my car fixed on a weekday.Business response

When I bought out the lease for my 2017 Buick Encore on 12/5/2020 from *******************, the dealer added the attached Dealer Loyalty Protection *************** Agreement (***) to my invoice at the additional cost of $3,495, covering the next ****** miles or 48 months. My mileage at the time of purchase was ******, so the agreement covered me until the sooner of 12/5/2024 or ****** miles. ******** that Buick-GMC dealer apparently sold the business, and the new Buick dealership on that site says they are not responsible for this type of agreement sold by the previous dealership on site. The new dealership suggested calling the *** warranty providers to see how they will now service my car. My present mileage is ****** so I am still entitled to coverage. To resolve a new problem with my car, I have called *** agreement tel # ************ a number of times, but only reach a recording, and when I am given the option if a call back, the return call has no one on the other end - just silence.I want a refund of the $3,495 I paid for the *** service agreement through the former ****** Buick dealer, based on my experience and seeing multiple posts online complaining that *** is a scam. I do not believe that the company, if it even exists, will service my car properly, or at all.Business response

Complaint: 19875751
I am rejecting this response because:
Although ***************** from the Dealer Loyalty Protection company did call me yesterday,he blamed their frustrating dead-end telephone call center, and their lack of response to my earlier calls, on an office fire. When I mentioned there was a stream sof complaints from their other contract purchasers going back years, he again referenced this office fire.
***** informed me that ******************, at ************, would honor my policy, and he referenced several employees there including ****. I quickly received a call from **** and I told him that my check engine light was on. **** said they would assess the cause and take care of any covered repair (after my deductible). He set me up with an appointment.
But wait, I said, would there be any fee to bring my car in? Then **** said yes, the fee is $194 to assess the reason the light is on, on top of any repair costs if it was due to uncovered repairs.
I had already made an appt elsewhere and will speak with them, to see if they charge a similar assessment fee - and will call **** back on Monday.
My research says the check engine light may be from a failing catalytic converter which is part of emissions system) or fouled spark plug or faulty spark plug, oxygen sensor or mass airflow (MAF) sensor.
I know the Service Agreement excludes wear and tear items such as exhaust system, spark plugs, tires, battery etc.
I am reluctant to assume a new debt of $194 to find out from Shawns associate ****, that the repair will or will not be covered.

This is failure due to a user error, in this case by the tow truck driver. This was filed as an inquiry because this customer has no legitimate basis to file a claim through their warranty.
