Decent Company

Had a claim, the process was very simple.
My garage called them with a quote. I had to pay an extra £5 labour cost due to their cap but they covered 90% of the bill.
Thank you

Claim was honoured even though mistake by garage

I’m am most grateful to A1 approved for the way they accepted a claim even though the garage in error didn’t seek pre approval before making the repair. Everything was done in good faith, and even though they could have refused the claim ( which initially the customer services did and hence 4 stars) when I rang them, and the emailed the full explanation, they impressively accepted a genuine mistake had occurred and honoured the claim. Thank you a1approved!

I strongly advise others to avoid A1…

I strongly advise others to avoid A1 Approved based on my recent experience.

I purchased a used vehicle from a reputable dealer, and the warranty provided was with A1 Approved — a decision I regret. The air conditioning on the car has not worked since the day of purchase. When I attempted to make a claim for the repair of the air conditioning condenser, it was rejected on the basis that a pipe (allegedly causing the issue) wasn’t covered.

However, at the time I received the warranty, pipes and hoses were not excluded. It appears that the company amended their terms after the agreement was in place — something they explicitly state in their own small print cannot happen: “The terms of this Agreement cannot be changed under any circumstances.”

They’re now hiding behind vague wording like “this is not an exhaustive list” and are dismissing claims with no mechanical inspection, just blanket statements. When challenged, they provided no regulator to escalate the complaint to, and I was told that because it’s a “guarantee,” there’s no oversight.

This experience has shown me that A1 Approved appears far more interested in avoiding liability than delivering customer protection. I wouldn’t trust them to pay out on anything meaningful.

Avoid at all costs — and check with your dealer or finance company before accepting a warranty from this provider

Dear Mr Bannon,
Thank you for the review.
Unfortunately none of our warranties cover the air con pipe as this isn't a mechanical or electrical component, it doesn't have any moving parts to make it mechanical and it doesn't have any electrical parts either.
We apologies for not being of further assistance on this occasion.

I took out this warranty cover when I first got my car it's not worth the paper it is written on, I was sold a car that was heavily under powered and not boosting, after having the car checked over with a diagnostic machine it had swirl flap faults and glow plugs, no garage was willing to get involved due to this warranty company so I took it to bmw for a full diagnostic to be done, I informed the company and they told me to remove my car from the main agent, I refused, they took it upon themselves to take my car from bmw to an independent garage, they didnt even hand the keys into the right place, the guy at the independent garage didn't even know my car was there as it was parked on the main street and keys handed into neighbouring unit for almost a week before the said garage knew it was there. Won't supply a courtesy car, kept telling me it will not be genuine bmw parts as it's took expensive, I didn't buy a premium car for it to be repaired by cheap parts. Ridiculous company has caused so much stress and inconvenience, this warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Replying to your message I did not give you consent to remove my car also it's got nothing to do with the finance company this is down to the car dealer for selling a faulty car, you as the warranty company are liable for repairs on the car, it has now been off the road for 2 months.. It's also not my fault the car needed repaired or how much it cost, this is down to the car dealer, I should still have been supplied with a courtesy car for the inconvenience and stress you have caused, plus the garage you took it too, the mechanic is a genuine nice person he's got no reason to lie about not knowing the car was there.. shocking!!

Dear Sara,

As this is a public forum we feel we must respond to this review truthfully.

Your vehicle was removed from BMW as your finance company didn't want to pay anything on top of the warrantie's liability I am afraid and therefore your car was collect and delivered to an independent garage where they asked for the keys to be left next door as they were out on a breakdown at the time.

I can see we have paid the garage on the 9th for the work necessary to repair your vehicle and regretfully you are not entitled to a courtesy car as we have paid more than double your claim limit to repair your car.

I can see we have tried to explain this to you on several occasions but due to your manner, you will not let the handler explain this to you.

Kind Regards

Good Afternoon,
Thank you for the review.
Unfortunately, the level of cover you hold doesn't cover the turbo.
I can see we have paid 3 other claims without a positive review but on the first one that's declined you leave a bad one.

Absolute scam

Absolute scam. Purchased a car at car time bury. My warranty I signed for included break down cover with platinum cover. I needed break down cover today and they told me I'm not on the system and i will have to pay for them to come out even though I signed the contract at the dealership and paying for the warranty monthly. Avoid these scamming artists with misleading/fraudulent contracts!! Cancel it immediately!!!

Dear Buddha,
Thank you for the review, You have however left us a review regarding the recovery, we are the warranty company and NOT the recovery company.
Your recovery is with National Breakdown, if they do not have your vehicle on cover yet please let us or cartime know and we can let them have the details to add the cover.

Warranty is a complete waste of money

Bought a car through Hippo 11/24. 6 months later and 6000 miles later the gearbox is failing. Cost to repair £1400. Apparently this is categorised as general wear and tear. I thought gearboxes were supposed to last 120000 miles. The £50 per month for 10 months to cover me for something major going wrong was pointless. My advice is prepare for the worst if you can, put £50 per month in a savings account. Then deal with it yourself should something go wrong, because that is what you will end up doing anyway.

Dear Simon,
Thank you for the review.
The warranty on the vehicle is for a sudden and unforeseen mechanical or electrical failure, by your own words the part hasn't failed but could fail in the future.
The warranty doesn't cover preventative works unfortunately or items that are deteriorating over time.

Dear PJ,
Thank you for the review.
unfortunately this is correct, as displayed on the selling dealers website you purchased their own warranty and NOT an A1 Approved warranty. A1 Approved did however agree to handle the phone calls and emails for them.
The booklet given to you by the dealer and A1 Approved also states that A1 Approved are only the administrators.

Where is the minus star?

If there was a minus, or a “danger” star, I would use that.

This company is nothing but a scam, cost me £400 per year and refused to pay for ANY repairs. Made up an excuse for reasons not to pay out, I’ve had to go through my lawyers to take them to court. Please avoid at ALL costs!

First Class Customer Care

I wasn't sure about taking out an extended warranty but I was glad when I did.

My vehicle was delivered with an intermittent fault, and I didn't fully recognise it for around 4 months, it was a faulty fly wheel and clutch.

Although it could be argued that A1 had no liability in this case, they stepped in to support me nonetheless.

A1 liaised with the leasing company on my behalf and negotiated with them to split the costs of the repair. I was astonished by how forthcoming they were.

I was extremely nervous about the situation but A1 sorted it and the vehicle was repaired with no inconvenience to me.

Unbelievably, my luck fell short again when another fault occurred several months later and an engine manmanagement light came on.

As with before, I reported the problem to A1 and they immediately took ownership. The fault was again fixed with no cost or inconvenience to me.

If I've learned anything, it's that this company can be relied upon and I know now that trusting them with my vehicle warranty was the right thing to do. I dread to imagine what these issues would have cost me if not.

I'm grateful to A1 for being reputable, professional, and trustworthy. I've never had any trouble getting through to them and they're always quick to help. I fully recommend.

Trusted, professional and knowledgeable 🤙

First time having a car remapped. I untrusted Andy and Blair with my Audi Q3 2.0 tdi sline.
My car ran at 138 bhp 377nm. After the map it came back with 184 bhp and 442nm. Quick chat with And before leaving and explained what to expect.
Car runs faultlessly, no flat spots through the whole range.
Both Andy and Blair are professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
Top job and worthy of the 5 stars.
Would most definitely recommend.
Thanks again guys 🤙✅

Absolute sham... Sold as a high end, prestige car, warranty company, yet will only cover labour costs up to £50 pound per hour and won't cover diagnostics. If you value your car at all I would avoid at all costs.
