This is just a quick post to let you know that Provida Group is either owned by or owns Warranty Direct. Not that that is a bad thing – in fact many of the auto warranty companies I find own several companies that look like they compete with one another. So, if you don’t like Warranty Direct, you probably won’t like Provida Group either. Have you been scammed by Provida Group auto warranties? Have you been really happy with your Provida auto warranty? Let us know!

This company is shut down – when you call the sales office of Auto One Warranty they say “We regret to inform you the office is now shut down.” Has any one still got a warranty with these Auto One? Are they honoring it? They say they are, but I HIGHLY doubt it. You call the number on the site, it tells you to call another number for claim service, which then tells you to call your provider… an infinite loop of SCAM! Watch out for these guys – they’ll be back under a different name and we’ll find them and expose them when they resurface.

Here is another new comer to the scene. I see they are offering a $39 per month contract – no hidden fees….Hmmm I say, I say hmmm… The problem with a company like this is that they are in a now much tainted industry and are not offering anything new, nor addressing the concerns that many people have in purchasing an auto warranty – is this a scam? Will I actually be covered? Have you worked with Gold Key Certified warranties? Let us know what you think of this auto warranty company!

Here is another service that will assist you with a live rep, and help you find the best car warranty for your needs from among several auto warranty companies. The service is pretty good – I had Shelly help me out.

After a fairly intensive search I led her on for my hypothetical BMW 540i, I let her know I was simply reviewing the service. She was able to answer a few question that you should always ask when buying a warranty – check out our article in the news section on this topic. All these companies like e-surance and Mr Car Warranty now a days with their cartoon people! I love it, brings some fun to the web. I’ll have to see if Mr. Car Warranty is associated with e-surance, as of now, I think they just have similar branding.

All in all, a good place that will spend some time with you to answer questions, provide multiple options, etc…

What do you think? Have you dealt with Mr. Car Warranty? Do you like their television commercials? Let us know!
