Automotive Warranty Review Does NOT Recommend this Car Warranty Company
US Fidelis has been in business for a number of years. The name “US Fidelis” started being used just a few years ago. Some people report the name change was due to a high profile law suit that greatly tarred the auto warranty company’s reputation. US Fidelis offers several levels of service, just like many of the other service contract companies out there. So how does the process work? US Fidelis handles it like this…
If a person files a claim with them, the process works out sort of like this. Let’s say you pay US Fidelis $120 per month for your auto warranty (just a random figure – not representative of the actual cost of the warranty) and all of a sudden you have an alternator that breaks down on you. You take the car to the shop, and give ol’ US Fidelis a call. The mechanic can of course call the company as well. If the alternator for your car is $600, according to the auto repair shop, US Fidelis is now on the hook to pay that amount. They will call around to other shops and find out what the cost for that part is at other local car repair shops.
If US Fidelis finds it for cheaper than $600 – you have two choices.
1. You can cruise over to the new auto repair shop
2. You can pay the difference
I’ve seen many examples of US Fidelis paying for customer repairs, resulting in a satisfying customer experience. I’ve also see some people really get mad at the auto warranty company for what might be called “delaying the game”, and taking a long time to pay the mechanic. Recently there has been lots of bad press about US Fidelis and it looks like nothing but trouble for them. Turns out there has been law suit after law suit as well as layoffs while. This car warranty company will probably not be around much longer.
What has your experience been with US FIdelis?
