Select Auto Protect vs. Omega Auto Care

Your vehicle’s original warranty protects you from unexpected maintenance and repairs, but only for a limited period of time. When it expires, you risk responsibility for costly bills at the auto shop in an emergency. However, purchasing an extended warranty replaces the lost coverage, giving you peace of mind and valuable financial protection.

Select Auto Protect is an excellent choice for extended warranty coverage, however it’s only one of many available providers. When shopping around for a new policy, it’s essential to research all of your options. In this guide, we compare Select Auto Protect against one of our top competitors: Omega Auto Care.

Fantastic customer service! The coverage of my policy was very inclusive and the rate for such extensive coverage was incredible. Adam helped me and provided me with excellent customer service. I’m very happy that I found this service . – anonymous

Adam was very patient and thorough throughout the lengthy process of about 2 weeks it took before I signed on the dotted line! He answered all questions and concerns I had and even went the extra step to match my budget and offer additional incentives that gave me no choice but to close the deal! If you ever need any extended warranty on your vehicle(s), make sure you ask for Adam! He’ll take care of you, for sure! – David

“David provided exceptional care throughout the process. From making himself available, talking me through the options and services, and following up to make sure everything went ok with the purchase. I hope the coverage and company provides a product as strong as their representatives, really appreciate his commitment in getting me set up during the holidays.” – Ryan

We received a call from Adam yesterday in response to our request for a quote online. Adam was very knowledgeable, he explained everything in great detail, and he answered all our questions. When I told him I needed to present everything to my Husband, and reconnect at 11:00am PDT, he said ok. I also requested both packages via email and what they covered, he was quick and had both quotes in my inbox before we ended our call. Adam kept his word, and called us at exactly 11:00am; I was truly impressed.

Thank you Adam! – Urania

Omega Auto Care Reviews

Here are several Trustpilot customer reviews for Omega Auto Care. The company currently has a rating of 3.9 out of over 1,100 reviews.

“Had to get repairs done on my car and the warranty covered everything they were supposed to without me even having to call and discuss the bill.

I called before putting my car in the shop and they explained exactly what I needed to do.” – Missy

“Ive been very fortunate to have talked to Amanda on 2-3 occasions; and today was convinced that she’s the best agent you have at your company . I’m very pleased with the plan and I keep promoting your plans to my friends and family members. Because the plans make sense ; very logical to have on every car. Thank you ! Amanda !” – Manuel

“Amanda listened to me. She actually went above and beyond the normal frame of ‘customer service’. Not only did Amanda understand my situation but she realized what the result of my situation would be and she took a chance to try and help me with my unique situation. Her supervisor and accounting also joined in to assist her, so she could assist me. A big Thank you to them also. The result was we all came to a win for both me and the company. But mostly for me, I believe because they enabled me to save my service contract. I deeply appreciate them and their grace to help me.” – Jay

While most of the customer reviews for Omega Auto Care were positive, some customers addressed concerns and left negative feedback:

“This company is very dishonest. They will find a reason not to cover it. If you can’t find 1 maintence from before you bought the warranty they won’t. They said anything caused by a seal or casket failure they don’t cover. If you have carbon in your rings forget about getting it paid. I spent months and many coversations listening to there excuses. I bought a drive train warranty from them. The engine went out before the warranty ended. They first wanted all my maintenance records. I gave them the papers. They said all seals and gaskets are not covered and any damage from them going bad. The rings were determined to be the problem and they said I had to pay $2000 to tear it down to the problem then they would send out an inspector to evaluate it. Guaranteed they will find a reason not to cover it!!” – Marvin
