Overall Rating: 2.4 / 5 (Average)

EasyCare is a sound choice for automobile service plans. The company offers a broad array of service contract options, ranging from bare-bones plans that cover little more than the engine and drivetrain all the way up to plans that cover almost everything. The company began as a warranty management service to automobile manufacturers and has substantial experience in the field. It summarizes its contracts in both inclusive and exclusionary terms. It has a solid reputation with the BBB and has partnered with other reputable companies.

Coverage - 2 / 5

The list of covered systems and parts provided on the company's website is remarkably detailed. EasyCare's lower three plans are stated in inclusionary terms, i.e., lists of what is covered. Its top-tier plan, however, is stated in both inclusionary and exclusionary terms. That top-tier plan appears to be very thorough and to exclude only cosmetic items and a few specialty components.

What does EasyCare cover?

Claims & Repairs

Claims & Repairs - 3.5 / 5

The company provides few details of its claim procedures. It states that repairs must be done at a "licensed" repair facility, an ambiguous requirement that consumers may wish to clarify before purchasing a service plan. It is also unclear from the company's publications whether customers have any obligation to maintain a vehicle maintenance log or other documentation.

Plans & Service Contracts - 4 / 5

Although EasyCare provides lengthy summaries of what is covered by its service contract, a copy of the actual contract could not be discovered on its website. Since the contract has not been evaluated, consumers are advised to review it themselves carefully before making a purchase decision.

If I could give negative stars I would if your lucky enough to read this and stay away from this company then this was worth my time. I had a power steering pump go bad in my Infiniti G37x. My mechanic called and placed the claim saying that the pump was bad and that they recommended that the hoses to the pump be changed too. This turned into EasyCare claiming that if was the hoses that caused the pump to fail so they wouldn't reimburse me for anything because hoses aren't covered in the warranty. I made multiple calls between EasyCare and the mechanic to figure out what was said. It wasn't until I called EasyCare from the mechanic shop on speaker phone and caught them in a lie saying that...

We have easy care with our truck and RV. We had an issue with our rv. I wrote a letter concerning our claim. We did not hear back from them until I sent them a second inquiry about our issue. Someone finally called me back and wanted me to resend all of the information for a third time. It was very difficult to work with them.

Do not waste your money - the company will do everything it can do deny a claim.

The only communication I received was a welcome letter dated 1-12-16 for a 36 month coverage. So, when I went to file a claim on 12-10-18 (because they weren't open on 12-8-18 when I called first), for a small ding, they said the policy ended 12-9-18 and refused to cover it. Don't waste your money on this scam.

This is not a company you want to deal with. They say one thing and then change their minds. It is a pure rip off!!! I wish we would have googled them before signing up at the dealership. Shame on the dealers for giving false hope with this company, someone should put them out of business. It shows on their website that they have an A+ rating??? Funny how BBB has several complaints against them. More like an D- rating to me.

Apple Ford Lincoln sold me EasyCare for new MKZ when I purchased my car. Lincoln's warranty has a $100 deduction instead of the $250 for EasyCare. Lincoln's warranty goes to 125,000 instead of 75,000. Price is similar with Lincoln somewhat more. My warranty is up for EasyCare and I didn't use it so out $2500.00. I think the dealership is wrong to push the more expensive EasyCare.
