I would avoid this company…..at all costs
I would avoid this company.
Firstly, it’s extremely difficult to get hold of anyone. Calls go unanswered, and callbacks take at least 24 hours. When I needed an urgent repair, I was unable to speak to anyone despite repeated attempts, leaving me with no option but to pay for the repair myself.
When Spectrum finally returned my call, their immediate response was that the repair was “unauthorised” and therefore they would not contribute towards the cost. They also stated that pipes are not covered under the warranty, despite the failed component being an air conditioning pipe that was neither corroded nor damaged through wear and tear. If this exclusion exists, it must be buried deep in the small print, as it was certainly not clear when I took out the policy.
Looking at other customer reviews, I can see similar complaints regarding exclusions and reasons given to avoid paying claims. Based on my experience, the customer service is poor, response times are unacceptable, and the claims process appears geared towards finding reasons not to pay.
Overall, I am very disappointed and would not recommend Spectrum Warranty.
Usual ‘get out of paying’ reply template and factually incorrect response, ‘ During that conversation, you were advised that any manufacturer recall would need to be investigated before a claim could proceed.’ I was told that being an administrative recall, there was no requirement to investigate with the manufacturer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
Having reviewed your claim, our records show that you first contacted us on 2 June 2026 regarding a fault with your vehicle's air conditioning system. During that conversation, you were advised that any manufacturer recall would need to be investigated before a claim could proceed and that repairs should not be carried out without prior authorisation from Spectrum.
When we later spoke with you on 5 June 2026, you advised that the repair had already been completed and that the cause of the fault had been identified as a split air conditioning pipe. Unfortunately, the warranty terms specifically exclude pipes and hoses from cover. In addition, the policy requires authorisation to be obtained before repairs are undertaken. As a result, we were unable to assist with the costs incurred.
We appreciate your comments regarding our response times and customer service. While we aim to return all customer calls as quickly as possible, we acknowledge that on this occasion you were unhappy with the time taken to receive a callback.
We understand that this was not the outcome you were hoping for. However, our decision was based on the terms and conditions of the warranty and the information provided regarding the cause of the failure.
Kind regards

Fraud
I have a ford focus and the handbrake button broke. Spoke to spectrum warranty in Sheffield and explained the problem. They said me to a garage. After the garage contact spectrum they said to me that is not covered by the policy because is cosmetic. Let me tell you that handbrake button is a mechanical fault not a cosmetic issue. This button controls the lock and releases the parking break. If broken the handbrake may fail to engage properly which makes it highly unsafe and risk to fail MOT.
They didn't recognise this issue and didn't carry on the repair.
Don't recommend at all.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your claim.
Having reviewed the information provided by the repairing garage, the claim was not declined because the handbrake system was considered unimportant, nor was it declined due to wear and tear. The repairer advised that the issue related to the physical handbrake button itself, which had become detached, and confirmed there was no mechanical or electrical failure of the handbrake system or associated components.
Your warranty provides cover for the sudden mechanical or electrical breakdown of covered components. Based on the diagnosis received, the repair required replacement of the detached plastic button rather than repair of a failed mechanical or electrical part. As a result, we were unable to authorise the repair under the terms of the warranty.
We appreciate that this was not the outcome you were hoping for and understand your frustration. If you would like us to review the matter further, please contact our Customer Service Team with any additional information you would like us to consider.
Kind regards

Good service to resolve warranty claim.
I have been impressed with the professional manner that Spectrum have handled my warranty claim. It was also good to experience an insurance company who are prepared to talk to you on the phone to discuss a claim. Emily was very helpful in resolving the final payment issues and made sure that I understood the final part of the process.

Warranty con
Absolutely disgusting I took out a 4year warranty through motor point using spectrum. Car has been in garage for over a week now and spectrum have only just got round to approving my repair. Then to be told I need to pay £500 odd for adblue crystallisation problems which I have now found to be a known issue that effects diesel vehicles which effects many vehicles and they try to blame the driver for the fault. Spectrum did not seem interested in admitting this and did not show any sense of caring for the customer. Also the garage had tried for days to contact spectrum who seemed incapable of being contacted finally giving authorisation for repairs. Also no one from spectrum has contacted me to help or keep me updated just been silence until today. I have only had my car 5 months didn't expect to have to pay such a large amount through no fault of my own. Very poor customer service.

Hello
Hello. Our Aircon was not working and hence we had to take our car at a garage for checking. It turned out a condenser leak. The garage fixed it. I called Spectrum Insurance and Daniel assisted me and helped me complete the claim. He also suggested me to check with spectrum Insurance before doing any work on the car next time. I give 5 stars to Daniel. Thank you.

I have used Spectrum car Warranty service twice now, for electronic faults on my car. Great service from them. I had to pay initially for the repairs, but I received my money back a week later.
My second time I used them was this month, I spoke to a lovely lady from the company called Lois, she authorised my payment via the bmw garage. Thank you Spectrum Warranty for your help.
