Beware
May 21, 2020

I purchased their extended warranty in 4/19. Paid 170.00 per month never used it until 5/20 just to tell a reputable car dealership that their not paying for anything. With no reason why, called and called and still haven't spoke to anyone yet. Rented a car because it's in the warranty as reimbursement. Ended up paying out of pocket at the dealership and for car rental. Someone needs to contact me asap. I want a refund. If your thinking about this company don't do it. Those commercial are bogus and full of crap.

They deny your claim
September 23, 2019

So I bought a warranty with this company without doing my research, and had nothing but the worst experience. They deny your claim and refuse to refund you for unused warranty. Their salesperson and employees working for them are complete liars and never seem to be happy when talking to customers. This company should not stay in business.

Horrible Not Legit.
August 5, 2020

Horrible! I put in a claim and never heard anything back. Was put on hold for more than 2 hours each time just check status of a claim. I spoke to two managers at 2 different shops and they both said Carchex is one of the worst. I am still on hold 3 days later trying to cancel. I think the Pat Goss hold music is meant to make you hang up as it repeats the same thing over and over again!

This company is horrible. Paid over $3000 for my warranty, however every time I needed their help, I was told the part was not covered. Even told me that I purchased a out of date warranty when I pointed out what was covered on my silver plan. Horrible horrribe and true liars...$tau away from this warranty are you will be sorry you wasted all you money... Horrible

Scam
September 7, 2020

I thought i was buying a plan that covered the essential to a car running and find out that i did not. Talk to a manager who pretty told me i did not know nothing about my car or any other car. He told me that i am not a mechanic and i did not put my car on lift to find the problem. My call was base off of why one thing was covered and other things surrounding that component was not. I did not and still do not understand that. In this back and forth he then tells me all i have is Deluxe package. I did not know there was know that there was two additional package above the deluxe. After i hung up and tried to call back to cancel and get my money back, no one answer the phone except one guy who claim he could not help. I am furious and feel like i have wasted money on a scam

Carchex denied my claim for replacment of faulty fuel injector,told me that because DIRT fouled it.
My mechanic told them that injector was clogged and could not be cleaned out and NEVER said the word dirt,I told Carchex that and said it seemed to me that whoever handeled the claim used the word dirt which voided my claim.
Asked that knowing calls are recorded to please listen to conversation between my mechanic and their guy and to also send me a copy.
The people were very rude and tried their best to railroad me so I let my credit card company know this and yanked the five $99.99 charges that I paid them and was told by them that their legal team will call me every day to collect the yanked charges,I said, " bring it on"
Never will I buy this type of hyped up warranty that is designed to line the pockets of these so called companys

Don't waste your time
September 3, 2019

If you chanced upon this company while searching for a job, my only advice is don't waste your time and stay away. This company provides poor benefits to employees, and the salary is laughable too. Also, most of the people they hire are inexperienced. I'm fine with people new to the industry since we all started from there, but for some reason, the company likes hiring people who are just clueless. This makes the tasks more daunting to the other employees, despite not being compensated enough.

Work here if you want to be overworked and underpaid. The company doesn't give enough compensation compared to the amount of work you have to put in. Also, management will say that they give bonuses, but most co-workers I know who are excellent never got any bonus. Prepare to lose your work-life balance here.

Pros: They will persuade you that they are the best and you are in good hands.

Cons: This company is a total scam. I purchased an extended warranty six moths ago, and when my car experience problem and brought it to the service center, however, Carchex denied my claim. They've even sent an inspector to verify the legitimacy of the problem and said they would not pay for anything because the problem is due to factory defect, but the dealer denied it. I lost a lot of money in this company. You have been warned, just stay away!

Stay Away From Carchek
October 11, 2018

Not sure Carchex will post this review as I totally do not Trust them. After calling several Warranty companies we decided to go with Carchex as they talked a good game. We have never been so disappointed in our lives... after first three claims were rejected we put the money out ourselves. Then the engine on our 2011 Malibu blew. We took the plan that was said to cover repairs such as this. Car chex denied our claim. We called to speak with some one and was not only transferred several time but put on hold for over an hour.it was only when we complained to the Better that a manager contacted us and said he would look into this matter and get back to us... one week later we are still waiting. Please be vigilant and look into other companies. Carchex will cost you money and their customer service is the worst we have ever experienced... would not recommend this company... even to y enemies. No one deserves this type of treatment!
