I have a platinum plan and was told that a sensor that senses the oil pressure (750 dollars)is not covered because such is not listed in agreement.Also told that I cannot contact
the entity that determined such and “that is it”The notion that a sensor that informs the oil pressure is not covered is absurd.
The recipient of my call is a woman at home with no knowledge of a car ,rude and dismissive.This is a fraud company on steroids and I would advise no one to pay them a penny .Their scheme is simply to take your money ,deny the claim with no recourse to the customer and move on to the next complaint.

I called to make sure they didn’t cancel my account and to make sure it stayed active and the associate made sure it stayed active . I was going to cancel but it had already been paid . I decided to keep it active you can’t believe everything you hear about companies.I did my research and was told false information about the company so after researching I decided to stay with this company.after all I have been with them for 3 months or more ,never had to use it but it’s good to have security.
