Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Edison, New Jersey, American Dream Auto Protect offers vehicle service contracts for drivers seeking protection from certain repair costs after factory coverage expires. They provide three coverage tiers, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, ranging from essential powertrain protection to broader mechanical and electrical coverage. Eligible vehicles can be up to 20 years old and/or have 200,000 miles, while customers have access to more than 250,000 ASE-certified mechanics. Plans also include roadside assistance and may provide rental car reimbursement and trip interruption benefits. Customer feedback varies considerably across platforms, with generally favorable ratings on Trustpilot and Birdeye but more critical feedback on the BBB, where the company currently holds an F rating and is not accredited. Their combination of multiple coverage options, high-mileage eligibility, repair network access, and mixed customer feedback provides several areas worth examining more closely.
Protect My Car is a well-known company in Saint Petersburg, Florida, that has been around since 2005 and offers many services to keep your car safe and in good shape. They offer longer guarantees on cars that have up to 20 years left on them. Protect My Car stands out from others in the same field because they offer extra benefits and a wide range of coverage choices. They're proud to offer their services directly to you; they call it "The PMC Way."
Since March 2023, when it was said that PMC had fired 75 workers because of "unexpected business circumstances," there have been some worrying stories about the company. There are also hints that they will be firing more workers. So, it wasn't clear if this service provider was out of business or would be soon.
