    Pattern of Complaint:

    On November 12, and November 23, 2021, BBB attempted to contact American First Auto Protect LLC regarding a high volume and pattern of serious complaints. BBB has received complaints alleging:

    consumers being told an inspector has to look at the vehicle before a decision can be made to cover the claim or not, and an inspector does not come show up and no contact can be made with the business for weeks.

    We have also identified a pattern in their responses to complaints stating they are sending a refund, or a check for the consumers claim, but the consumer does not receive the money and they are unable to contact the business.

    BBB notified American First Auto Protect LLC about the pattern of complaints and asked the business to voluntarily cooperate in eliminating the pattern by providing a written response outlining the specific steps it would implement in order to avoid similar complaints in the future. BBB also requested general information including the names & full contact information of the business’ principal officers and responsible management and the physical address of its principal office.

    As of December 22, 2021, American First Auto Protect LLC has not responded regarding the pattern of complaints or BBB's requests for information. BBB has concerns about American First Auto Protect LLC’s business practices and urges consumers to use caution based on their complaint activity and lack of responsiveness.

    I would not purchase American Dream Auto Protect (ADAP) under any circumstances. How do I know? Unfortunately, I was one of the wistful customers who made the mistake and went against peoples advice and bought a platinum extended warranty policy for $4.8k. What happened is the sales rep swore up and down that all my concerns would be covered. He was even believable for a hot second as he did list some things that would not be covered. I purchased it feeling great (I like the peace-of-mind feeling). Fast forward 5 months my autopilot computer died. I file a claim. As soon as I talked to someone in claims I had a sinking feeling as they started to say things that contradicted what was told to me by my sales rep (Richard T******. I went through the process anyway, emailed them the invoice. They said they'd get back to me in 1, at most 2 business days. A week passes and I don't get a call back nor responses via email. I called and emailed. They didn't pick up and they didn't email back. When I called to get a refund, I was told I'd only get a partial refund as they aren't responsible for this and tried a variety of strategies to deflect my request for a full refund. Between telling me that he "gets it" and that he's "a customer too", talking over me (because I'm a woman?), talking at me, that he can't control the vehicle repair shops and a bunch of things that I should have done (I did), that claims is a different department, offering to transfer me to the department, and so much more I can't even list them all here. FYI, all this is from when I spoke with a Kelvin (spelling?) James, who's supposedly the head / director of customer retention and refused to escalate my case because he's "above the supervisors". He finally offered to resolve my case for me and offered to pay me $1k for my troubles (my repairs claim was over $2k) or to give me a menial partial refund pro rated for the duration in which I've had the policy minus a bunch of fees.
