Warranty Plans

autopom! offers customers four main extended car warranty levels: Exclusionary, High-Level, Mid-Level, and Powertrain Plus.

  • Exclusionary plans are comparable to a manufacturer's warranty. Exclusionary coverage includes almost all mechanical and electrical components of a car.
  • High-Level plans are a great cost-effective alternative to the exclusionary plan. They cover an extensive amount of components within the following major systems: Engine, transmission, transfer case, drive axle, steering, electrical, air conditioning, braking, cooling, fuel system and seals, and gaskets.
  • Mid-Level plans cover named-components within the major systems: engine, transmission, transfer case, drive axle, and differential assembly. A Mid-Level warranty covers named components like steering, suspension, fuel delivery, as well as the cooling and braking systems, too. 
  • Powertrain Plus plans cover specified components for the major systems. However, there are several plans that offer additional coverage for electrical, air conditioning, and fuel systems components. 

Underneath each coverage level is a grouping of specific plans and customers can click on each plan option to view more information. Potential clients can also view a sample contract to get a better feel of what they can expect if they choose a plan from auotpom!.

Thorough Resource Page

The Bad

  • Limited Coverage Plans
  • Cost of Service Plans
  • No Coverage for Exotic Vehicles

Limited Coverage Plans

While auotpom! has a selection of warranty options, be aware that each has its own set of stipulations that your car must meet. For example, it is important to perform proper maintenance on your car, like oil changes; otherwise the warranty contract can be voided. If your car needs an expensive repair and you didn't properly maintain your car, you would pay for the repair yourself.

Additionally, most car warranty providers do not cover damage resulting from normal wear and tear. 

Several of the coverage options offered by autopom! are only available in specified states. Others aren’t clear on the states in which they are available. autopom! has a few options that state they are currently unavailable and does not say if or when they’ll be available. However, potential clients can learn this information by contacting autopom! directly.

Cost of Service Plans

Since each extended vehicle plan depends on numerous factors, autopom! does not disclose any pricing for its plans. Each plan takes into account your vehicles make/model, mileage, year, and the customer's state of residence. Also, the cost will depend on which coverage level you choose and which plan.

Potential clients can receive a personalized quote for their car by working with autopom! directly.

No Coverage for Exotic Vehicles

While auotpom! covers most vehicle makes and models, it does not offer coverage for luxury brands such as Lamborghini, Bentley, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, etc.

Potential clients with other car brands can find a good extended warranty from autopom!.

Nancy Brown St. Petersburg, FL

So far, my experience is less than great. I just finished paying for this warranty last month, and am trying to use it for the first time. My car has been at the dealership (Nissan) ALL DAY today. All I need is a new driver's side VISOR. It's going to cost over $300 to have this fixed, which in and of itself is ridiculous, but hey--I have an extended warranty. The dealership is removing my visor so I can see so I can go pick up my car today since I need it tomorrow. They filed a claim, and are waiting for Autopom to call them back because they were on hold forever. I told the dealership it's my experience you have to keep calling, so I said I would do that now so I can go get my car today. However, I'm having the same issue they had: I had to hold for more than 35 minutes with annoying music before talking to someone. By the time I spoke to someone and they approved the claim, it was time to pick up my car that I desparately needed for a 7am meeting the next morning. In the meantime of all this waiting, I found a visor for under $180, much less than the $255 the dealership charges, and my husband will install it for free. UPDATE 2 days later: The company reached out to me and said they were experiencing an unusually high call volume when I called. (I would advise them they need more people answering phones during those high volume times.) Anyway, they told me more than likely had I called on another day I wouldn't have to wait so long. I'm hoping that the next time I may need service, this will be true. Customer Service seemed to be polite and good when I finally did speak with them. They also seem to want to resolve these issues, so I am hopeful the wait times for claims and phone calls will be improved next time.

Hi Nancy, My name is Mike Jones, president & CEO of autopom! Thank you for updating your review and rating. I do understand the importance of having your vehicle repaired quickly and efficiently. Next time you experience a delay in processing, please give my office a call directly (800) 724-8141. We (autopom!) are a separate company from your Administrator (Royal), but sometimes we can facility or expedite a claim. I would also recommend with your next repair that you get a rental car. Your contract includes some rental car reimbursement benefits. Most claims do require an overnight stay at the repair facility. Having a rental car will take some of the pressure off. Thank you again for updating your review.

I did not get reimbursed like I was promised. I wish I never signed up. I have called multiple about getting reimbursed for a tow truck. I have submitted the claim six times.

Hi James. I'm sorry to hear that about the tow truck reimbursement and the lack of response to your requests. The Administrator that handles the towing is a separate company but with the limited information I have at this point I'm unsure what happened in your case. If you will give me a call at (800) 724-8141 x4 to provide additional details, I will personally look into it. Mike Jones.
