Don't fall for these scammers. I'm a living proof of that. This company or whatever they call it is a pyramid scheme. They'll take your money then leave you hanging when you need them the most. Joshu... See more

Is it legal to withhold payment until a negative review is taken down? That is what this company has done to me. They owe me for two different claims. I’m working with the Better Business Bureau to wo... See more

Do not trust

Great at selling a plan. Poor at paying for damaged claims they promised to cover during sales process.

So Easy to work with!

We are a repair shop in Florida and we just completed our first claim process with ideal. Here is what we experienced.

1) Customer came in with problems to their Bentley. We called the warranty company to get the process.
2) we diagnosed the vehicle and explained the issues to ideal.
3) it was determined that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced.
4) we submitted the hourly rate, labor and part cost to ideal and they approved this claim.
5) we were paid promptly when the repair was done and the customer was given his vehicle back in great working condition.

We recommend ideal auto protect to anyone who needs a warranty. i have not seen a warranty company like this who pays so quick and had knowledgeable claims representatives. We thank Kevin at ideal for his attention and helping work this claim in a quick manner.

I am so pleased with this service!!

I got this warranty 3 months ago just in case anything happened to my 2015 camaro and all of the sudden my car broke down in middle of the highway. THANK GOD i had iDeal they helped through this entire process getting my car fixed and even got me a rental car while my car was in the shop. Cant think of a better way I could've spent my money.

They dropped the ball on my repairs and…

They dropped the ball on my repairs and left me stuck with a $875 bill from the dealership by not doing there due diligence prior to initiating any work and not only left me with a bill my vehicles engine was torn down per I deal say . So I received the vehicle back with half the engine in my car , imagine me driving my car there leaving with it in pieces.
Per ideal response: So ideal chose to call and offer me $70 to remove my review needless to say I declined and In response you have there reply, Obviously the person responsible for the reply is the person who lacks intelligence because you failed to read or comprehend correctly lol No I’m not a competitor , Clearlake Dodge is ASE certified and I never said I drove my car home it was towed with an extra $200 cost to me thanks to I deal I have all records and proof of doing my part legitimately sounds like ideal wants to pass the buck on this and not honestly take responsibility for there bad business with honest paying costumers .

Obviously, this a competitor.

"So I received the vehicle back with half the engine in my car"
- It would be impossible for a car to run if the half the engine is missing. No repair shop in this country, who employs a ASE certified mechanic, would allow a vehicle to leave the repair shop this way. This is the reason why our agreement states the customers must only work with an ASE certified mechanics or dealership.

We however at iDeal are flattered that any competitor felt the need to leave us a negative feedback to try and tarnish our reputation, which we are known for.

Thank you,

IDEAL made it right!!

I had recently posted a rather unflattering post regarding a refund "miss-understanding".. After talking to Ron at IDeal Auto Protect he refunded the difference and made it right. Can not complain he made it right. KUDOS

A Natural!

Shaun was polite, respectful and quite knowledgeable. I enjoyed our conversation as Shaun didn't use pressured sales tactics. He presented the warranty packages succinctly and with the knowledge he was extending the best warranty packages offered anywhere. That impressed me.

I provided the Audi dealership with a copy of the iDeal Auto Protect contract and Audi, in turn, contacted iDeal who immediately authorized the repair. I was delighted at how smoothly everything was handled. iDeal supplied the repair shop with factory bushing parts Awesome!

Ideal Auto Protect FTW!

I purchased a new vehicle and I looked up warranties on the internet. The interaction with Ron my sales rep from Ideal was good and every time I spoke with someone, they were knowledgeable. They checked on me and got me what I needed for my vehicle. They also made the payment plan work for me.
