SUMMARY:

Although AA Auto Protection is a widely recognized organization we have found that AutoPOM to have a better overall customer experiance. To find out more about AutoPom click here. Although it’s a little more restrictive than some other services in our review, AA Auto Protection is a great extended warranty choice. It offers almost two dozen different plans with different coverage, payment options and price. Its excellent customer support is one of this company’s strong suits.

COMPLETE REVIEW

Even though AA Auto Protection didn’t finish at the very top of our list of the best extended car warranty companies, it’s still an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and customer-friendly service. AA Auto Protection offers nation-wide coverage, several plans and allows you to spread out your payment over a few years.

Coverage and Policy

With more than 20 different coverage plans, AA Auto Protection has one of the biggest selections in our review. Plans range from the most basic Premium Powertrain Coverage Plan, to the most comprehensive full coverage plan, American Auto Shield Diamond. The most expensive plan mirrors your car’s manufacturer’s warranty (with some exceptions), offering to extend your policy for up to six years and up to 100,000 miles. Although AA Auto Protection is available throughout the US, it lacks coverage of Canada and Mexico while some other companies in our review do offer this commodity. Depending on the plan you choose, the company allows you to spread out your payments over a two-year period. Since some top tier plans can cost thousands of dollars a year, being able to pay this amount over a number of months can be very convenient. Once you’ve signed the contract, your extended warranty is automatically activated and starts that day. Nevertheless, AA Auto Protection won’t cover any pre-existing conditions your vehicle might have. Additionally, if you file a claim within 90 days of signing the contract, the claim becomes a subject of review so the company would make sure you’re not trying to claim the costs of a condition your car had before signing. As with most other similar services, AA Auto Protection gives you a 30-day money-back guarantee which means if you’re not satisfied with the service after a month, you will get your money back.

If at any point you have to use your extended warranty and take your car to the shop, AA Auto Protection will reimburse you in the amount of $30 per day, money you can use to hire yourself a rental. The company allows you to use a rented car for up to five days. An added convenience when using AA Auto Protection is that you only have to pay a $100 deductible when you first leave your car in the service. While some companies require higher amounts, $100 is pretty standard. Once you’ve paid the deductible, you can rest easy since AA Auto Protection takes over any other contact with your chosen auto repair shop.

As we did throughout our review, we tested AA Auto Protection’s customer service by calling and asking for a quote. During our conversation we asked the representative about different plans, payment options and overall coverage of the plans he suggested. The person we spoke to seemed to be very familiar with the entire offer and didn’t pressure us at any point to make a decision. We finished the conversation with enough information to make an educated decision on an extended car warranty plan. Additionally, after we finished the conversation, we received an email with a quote for our specific needs.

To reach customer support, you can call, email or start a live chat session on the website. Although the company doesn’t offer 24/7 support, they are very expedient when it comes to replying to emails and other contact requests. Also, you can make use of the FAQ section on the website in case you have a common question.
