No hassle, fair claim handling

No hassle, no jumping through hoops, the dealer contacted you, you processed the claim in a very reasonable time, having been a garage owner for many years, I have dealt with warranty companies on several occasions, it always took days to get a response, and usually they wanted you to work for nothing, you, on the other hand, where quick to respond, and very fair with your estimate,

Honestly

Honestly, at first I was worried about my claim being approved, but now that I know it has been approved for sure, I am so grateful to have sided with Alpha. Hopefully the shop does the same with their quality of work. I will definitely be recommending Alpha Warranty to my friends and family. Thank you.

This company is a SCAM

This company is a SCAM. They are THEIVES! Do NOT believe the good reviews. Do NOT buy a warranty with them.

We bought a used car in February 2025 and decided to add a warranty in case we needed repairs soon, worse decision ever. This car even made it extremely difficult for the mechanic!

In October 2025, we had to make immediate repairs because our car was getting worse by the day. We were told we could submit a claim for reimbursement. Fine, it's our only car and we needed it fixed. We got our claim approved in November for $2316.26. Sounds pretty great.... too bad they have zero follow through.

When they found out they would be sending a check to us and not the mechanic they had us full out different paperwork. Suddenly we were told the amount could change. Why would it make a difference of what is covered when the payment goes to the consumer instead of the mechanic? We had to submit this paperwork twice because they somehow didn't receive it? Do you costumer service representative a know that email have timestamp when they are received and ready and that information is stored in your server?
Come January 2026, we finally get approved for $1572.26 but they would waive the deductible because of how long this process was taking. How kind and generous of you! We get the check in January. You would think that would be the end of it right? Nope, not even close. We tried four different places to deposit or cash the check, no one would accept it! The account number was too faint. Pretty convenient.

We call costumer service letting them know what has happened and that they need to issue a new check. Probably the only helpful person who works there, actually called us back and left a voicemail saying they issued another check and gave us a check number (this is an important fact to remember). Two weeks later nothing... and I know what is coming in our mail thanks to the lovely US Postal Service. So we call again. Now we have to wait 30 days before they issue another check. At this point, we were like fine what is another 30 days at this point. I mean who needs an extra $1500 in this economy?

We call a week ago and spoke to another customer service representative, who said they would issue another check. We waited a week before calling a just check on things. We are now being told that the checked was deposited and money was taken from their account. And get this, the date they gave us was before the voicemail (I told you it was important).

We will be filing a complaint with the Utah Division of Consumer Protection. We will be possibly filing a police report for possible theft and identity theft because we weren't able to cash that check. We will be going to small claims court if this matter isn't resolved in a week. We have all of the emails my husband has sent to your company, we have his call logs, we have that voicemail from Danielle, we have our contract, and we have the lovely notes from your customer service representatives with the dates and their names.

Warranty services are horrible

Warranty services are horrible. Buyer beware. They don’t cover major repairs. Had 4wd actuator go out on pickup. All they say is it isn’t spacificly worded in the coverage. I can’ believe they have a BBB rating with the BBB. Think twice before doing business with this company. It will cost you more.

They have taken care of any issues I have had. My only wish was when the salesman that sold me the warranty didn't let me know it was for mechanical only. Other then that it has been a good company to work with. Thanks C. WILEY

If I could give Alpha Warranty negative…

If I could give Alpha Warranty negative stars I would! They're absolutely the worst company to deal with when you actually need to use your warranty! They will drag their feet to get anything fixed! My tuck has been with the dealership since January 4th it is now March 5th and we still don't have any word on when they will get it fixed! Do not do business with this company!!!

Hi Ashley,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it is to have your vehicle in the shop for an extended period of time.

After reviewing the claim, it was originally opened on January 5. There were delays early in the process while the repair facility gathered and submitted the required documentation needed for the claim to move forward. With assistance from our team, the necessary information was received on January 29 so the review process could continue. An updated estimate and inspection were then completed, followed by a technical review, and the claim received final approval on February 17.

Once approved, the required part was ordered on February 19. At this time, the repair is pending shipment and tracking information from the vendor so the dealership can proceed with the repair. While we always aim to move claims forward as quickly as possible, the overall timeline can sometimes depend on multiple parties, including the repair facility and parts suppliers.

We understand how frustrating delays can be. If you would like to discuss the status of your claim further, please feel free to contact our team at 800-662-5519.

Do not purchase the Alpha Car Warranty

Do not purchase the Alpha Car Warranty, they are a Shyster Warranty company that will not pay when you need it. They will give you one excuse after another as to why they are not willing to honor the Warranty. Dealing with them is a total Nightmare and a waste of your good money for the purchase.

Joshua,

We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way and appreciate you sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be to face a major vehicle issue.

Your claim was opened on December 4, 2025 for a no-start condition that the repair facility believed may be related to internal engine components. Because the contract had accumulated nearly 20,000 miles since purchase and the concern involved potential internal engine failure, the claims process required maintenance records so the administrator could verify the vehicle had been properly serviced in accordance with the contract terms.

During the review, the records that were submitted contained several inconsistencies in formatting, invoice numbering, and layout that prevented them from being verified as authentic repair facility invoices. The claims team made multiple attempts to obtain verifiable maintenance documentation, but unfortunately acceptable records were not able to be confirmed. As a result, the claim was closed in accordance with the contract requirements.

We understand this outcome is disappointing. If you are able to obtain verifiable maintenance records from the servicing facility, we would be happy to have the claim reviewed again. You’re also welcome to contact our team at 800-662-5519 to review the situation once more.

Don't trust the contract

I recently purchased a used Hyundai Elantra Touring with 124,000 miles and decided to add a 6-month/6,000-mile BudgetCare Gas Powertrain+ (Day One) warranty through Alpha Warranty with a $100 deductible. On paper, the coverage looked solid and gave me some peace of mind in case something unexpected came up.

About a month later, I noticed an engine vibration and took the car to one of their approved repair shops. The process initially seemed smooth. The shop diagnosed a failed engine mount that was covered under the contract (Section G1), along with a few unrelated items that weren’t covered. I was relieved and thought the warranty had already justified itself.

The shop submitted the claim, and a few days later it was approved. After parts arrived, I was notified that the car was ready for pickup. So far, so good.

However, Alpha Warranty only agreed to pay $61.29 toward the repair. The total bill included $74 in labor and $367.74 for the part. In other words, the warranty covered only a small fraction of the actual repair cost.

After several days of trying to reach them, I finally spoke with a representative to ask about the discrepancy. I was told that Alpha Warranty pays based on the “average MSRP of like kind and quality parts.” Since the original component was an OEM Hyundai part, I expected “like kind and quality” to mean OEM or at least a reputable aftermarket equivalent. Instead, I was told that because my vehicle had “excessive miles,” they determined that a budget replacement part was appropriate.

That distinction was not clearly explained at the time of purchase. While the warranty technically approved the claim, the payout was so minimal that it provided little real financial protection.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend Alpha Warranty. The marketing materials and ratings made it seem like a worthwhile investment, but when I actually needed coverage, the reimbursement was disappointing and the process frustrating.

John,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this repair did not meet your expectations.

Your repair facility submitted a claim that included several items in addition to the engine mount, such as suspension components and an oil pan reseal. Under the plan you selected, coverage is limited to the specific components listed in the contract. Because of this structure, those additional items were not eligible for reimbursement. The engine mount, however, is a covered component and that portion of the repair was approved.

Payment on claims is calculated according to the terms outlined in the agreement, including the deductible and the contract’s standard labor rate allowance. In this case, the engine mount part was approved at the amount submitted on the estimate, and labor was authorized based on the contract’s base labor rate and the time requested by the repair facility. After applying the $100 deductible in the contract, the remaining authorized payment totaled $61.29.

We understand it can be frustrating when a repair involves multiple issues and only certain components fall within the scope of the coverage. Our goal is always to apply the contract terms consistently while helping customers understand how their plan works before and during the claims process. If you would like to discuss the process of this determination further, please contact us at 800-662-5519.
