Warranties 2000 Arvostelua 

Don't deserve the 1 star.

This company are atrocious and will make up any excuse for not paying out the warranty when making a claim.
For clarity I have pasted in an extract of my warranty I had with them as per the below:-

PLATINUM PLUS MEMBERSHIP

The following components are covered against Mechanical Breakdown (as defined elsewhere
in this document) of those items listed below.
Please note any parts not listed are specifically excluded.

Engine – All components contained within the cylinder block and head including pistons, rings, crankshaft,
big end bearings, manifolds, rocker assembly, timing chains, timing gears, distributor drive.
Excluding Dual Mass Flywheel.

Turbo Unit - All components including inlet and exhaust turbine shafts, bearings, bushes, wastegate
devices.
Turbo cover ceases at 7 years or 80,000 miles whichever comes sooner.

Gearbox – All components contained within either manual or automatic transmissions including gears,
bearings, clutches.

Limited to one clutch repair during the warranty duration.

occurred causing sudden stoppage of their function.

Fuel System – All components including fuel pump, carburettor, sender units, gauges, air flow meters, accumulator fuel distributor, regulators.

In my case our car needed to have a timing chain replaced as it had had become stretched.
The garage put down the cause of the fault as being the pulley tensioner which is part of the timing tensioner assembly.

A timing chain, its tensioner, and the associated guides operate together as a single synchronized assembly. If a faulty tensioner causes the chain to slacken, stretch, or jump, the chain suffers consequential damage, and the two cannot reasonably be separated for a repair.

Under my Warranty as per above in the Engine section it lists the following;

"Engine – All components contained within the cylinder block and head including pistons, rings, crankshaft,
big end bearings, manifolds, rocker assembly, timing chains, timing gears, distributor drive.
Excluding Dual Mass Flywheel."

Now if you see the response email from advisor at Warranties 2000 was as per below:-

Good morning,

We have started the claim.

We do, however, require the cause of failure for the NOx sensor.
Please can you ask the garage whether they have identified the cause of failure for this part.

Unfortunately, the timing belt and pulley are not listed components and are not covered under your policy.

Kind regards

After receiving email from them we called them and they said the pulley system tensioner and the timing chain are separate systems and as such they wouldn't be paying out for timing chains as it's not covered.

We are having to go down the route of their official internal complaints procedure to resolve this, but so far they are not playing ball on this.
Seriously avoid this company at all costs.
This review will be one of many against this company I will be making until they pay out as per the warranty.

After taking out gold plus cover. Had the car 2 months when the engine light came on. Tried to get local garages to do warranty work but none would touch it as they never get paid or have to chase for payment. Got in touch and was told we could pay and claim back which we did £1600 later claim went in. Was told the works were not covered after telling Warranties2000 the problem and them telling us that it was covered. 3 weeks later engine light came on again which this time was heat pump and plugs. Again told that this was not covered. I will never ever again take a warranty out on a used car.

I spoke with Claire and she dealt with the call quickly and efficiently

Called me back when they said as I was driving at the time and unable to talk at the time

Very swift response from Rosie thank you

Its beyond a joke now, my claim for a washer pump.was authorised on the 8th April 2026. The garage sent the invoice for payment of the claim the next day.
Since then I have being calling near enough every week with an update to when the garage can expect payment.
I have been told its a problem from.the finance company to the garage has not sent an invoice.
So I email them a copy of the invoice which was sent to someone called Daniel the 22nd of May.
Again I was told they garage can expect payment within 1-2 days guess what!! we are still waiting. I have loss count the amount of times I've called.
Its beyond ridiculous and I shall be considering legal action to get my money back and will also be sending a complaint to the ombudsman.

This company are absolute con artists they are more than happy to take your money but refuse to pay out when you try to make a claim although the engine is covered they say the timing belt which is in the engine is not covered or any of the damage that failure has caused stay will clear

Was very helpful with all the amount of cover I asked about and was very professional with all the details required

Judy was exceptional, best customer service I’ve ever experienced in life!!

Thanks a heap Judy!

Ethan explained every thing to me and offered a great deal that I was more than happy to renew my warranty

Very clear and polite in explaining the warranty

Very very disappointed , they are scam , they don't refund you , don't make any contract with them .

Lovely staf and so helpful

Very helpful explained all options very well.

Absolute scam. Avoid this company.

The terrible online reviews are completely accurate, this company will find any excuse to avoid helping you. I have already decided not to renew the warranty on my second car, and I will absolutely not be renewing this one either. Do not waste your money here. They are quick to take your money but useless when you actually need them.

First class company, very professional.
Elisha Jackson (Senior Claims Advisor) is an absolute diamond, and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you Elisha! 👍

Ethan was very helpful in explaining the service, and he answered all my questions. A good job!

Rosie was not helpful at all. replies with one liners stating how they are unable to help and no advise on how to move forward and no further information given.
