Unless extended warranty was from Toyota or dealer, then i'd ignore it!

if it's:

"automotive professional resources"

^^^

Let that be the first red flag. My mom without much knowledge purchased it, her car started having problems due to transmission not shifting too good, they said they wouldnt cover her until 6 months from now although they had stated they would cover asap, so 3 days later I called them and after 3hrs, got her, her money back.

Later, I asked friends regarding this extended warranty and 2 out of 11 or so car enthusiasts, gave me their experiences with this company.

The first said he lost $2500 in warranty money and they never helped him because he slightly modded his Integra.

The second, they mailed him a "pos engine lubricant," that ended up somehow clogging his injectors or clogged something else...I don't recall. He had done a rebuilt on his engine not even 2 months before. He was also sent a gas tank one? This one he didn't add in. It was unlabeled and just stated it was to be put into gas tank. If I get to cleaning my garage I can snap a pic of it. He let me have it and I just threw it in a corner somewhere. This guy, he was lucky to get 1/2 of his money back.

BBB used to be full of issues about them.

be careful where you put your money.
