DISAPOINTING
I bought a 2022 Audi Q2 through Motorpoint and paid extra for a 3-year extended warranty, which has turned out to be a complete waste of money. After about 7 months, the car developed a loud knocking noise, which I reported immediately to Spectrum and followed all their instructions exactly. The diagnostic found that the gearbox mounting bolts were not properly secured, and multiple mechanics confirmed this is something that should never happen. What makes this even worse is that the engine had clearly been slowly dropping over time due to these loose bolts, which is why the issue didn’t show up straight away, so there’s no way I could have known about it earlier. Despite this, the warranty company refused to cover the repair, hiding behind the excuse that it wasn’t a “sudden fault,” and Motorpoint also refused to help because I was just outside their 6-month window. So basically, they’ll only cover it if my engine had completely fallen out and possibly killed me. Instead, I’m left paying for a serious fault that was clearly there from the start while both companies dodge responsibility. And i am left without a car that i rely on for my job therefore has caused significant stress and anxiety. The idea that I should somehow have checked whether major components like engine or gearbox mounts were properly secured before buying the car is beyond ridiculous. This could have been extremely dangerous, yet neither company seems remotely concerned. Absolutely shocking service, zero accountability, and a complete waste of money. I would strongly warn anyone to avoid Motorpoint and their warranty provider.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
I am sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with the outcome of your claim and appreciate the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused.
Following notification of the fault, we reviewed the claim based on the information provided by both yourself and the repairing garage. This included the repair estimate, fault codes, repairer's findings and supporting video evidence.
As part of our assessment, we accepted and authorised the replacement of the ABS wheel speed sensor, as this component had suffered a confirmed electrical failure and fell within the scope of cover provided by your warranty.
In relation to the knocking noise, the repairer advised that the gearbox mounting bolts had become loose. Whilst we understand your concerns regarding how this may have occurred, the evidence provided did not identify a mechanical failure of the gearbox mount itself or any other covered component. The repairer's findings were that the bolts required attention, rather than the gearbox mount having failed.
We appreciate your view that the bolts should not have become loose on a vehicle of this age and mileage. However, the warranty provides cover for the mechanical breakdown of covered components and not for assembly, workmanship or maintenance-related issues where no component failure has been identified.
We would also like to reassure you that your claim was not dismissed. The evidence submitted was reviewed in full and the warranty responded to the element of the repair that fell within the scope of cover. Unfortunately, based on the information available, we were unable to establish that the gearbox mount had suffered a covered mechanical breakdown.
We appreciate that this is not the outcome you were hoping for and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Kind regards
Claire

Received a call from Emily who advised me that my claim is declined when quizzed her the reason why she was unpleasant and seemed to have a sarcastic tone in her voice while I understand my claim was declined there is no need for pure rudeness from her! Looking at all these good reviews for her makes me wonder if her friend or even herself done them !!!! If could it be a no star

Great news
Great news – after 3 weeks, my claim was finally authorised today and approved in full. A big thank you to Andrew W for his help and support throughout the process.
The garage has advised it'll be around another 5 days before my car is ready, but after such a long wait, it's a huge relief to know everything has been sorted. I can finally see the finish line!

Experience with spectrum
I spoke to Emily today after not being able to get hold of anyone yesterday to authorise my claim. She dealt with it straight away, contacted the garage for me and got all the details needed then rang me back to let me know what the outcome one was. She was highly professional, courteous, and explained why I probably was unable to speak to anyone yesterday. I can’t thank her enough for her quality of service provided today.

Would buy again
Ultimately, rather pleased with Spectrum and their product. The advisor, Emily, was courteous and helpful throughout and despite having a very long tailback of calls did try several times to get through to me before I could manage to answer the phone. She contacted my chosen repairer, got the details for the work needed under my warranty claim and authorised it within about an hour and explained the cost breakdown and the small difference that would need paid. Well worth getting the warranty as it has saved me essentially what it cost me at the time of purchase and this is the only claim I've had to make. I would purchase another Spectrum warranty if it was offered for a future car.

Hi Jennifer
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We're delighted to hear that Emily was able to assist with your claim and keep you regularly updated throughout the process. We know how important communication is when your vehicle is off the road, so it's great to hear that Emily provided the support and reassurance you needed.
I am also pleased that, despite your disappointment regarding the hire car, you were able to make alternative arrangements through the dealer and reach a satisfactory outcome. We appreciate your understanding, as warranty policies differ from motor insurance policies and do not always include courtesy vehicle provision.
I will ensure your kind comments are passed on to Emily, who will be delighted to receive your feedback.
