VEHICLE SERVICE CONTRACT MAIL & TELEPHONE SOLICITATIONS
Our Servco locations have seen an increase in customer calls regarding recent telephone or mail solicitations for vehicle service contracts. Service contracts purport to cover specified issues after the manufacturer’s warranty expires. The contracts vary from provider to provider and often include very broad exceptions.
There has been a growing number of third-party companies soliciting consumers through phone calls and mailers regarding vehicle service contracts. One such company, Motor Vehicle Services, recently began a mail campaign in Hawaii, including mailings to Servco customers. These companies are not affiliated with or endorsed by Servco in any way.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued guidance for consumers to be cautious of such auto warranty scams. For more information, please visit the FTC’s official guide: Beware of Auto Warranty Scams.
Please note: Servco does not share any customer information with third parties for the purpose of selling vehicle service contracts.
