During what was a very stressful time the team over at Spectrum kept me in the loop at everything single step of the way. A standout character for me was Caitlin. Every time I called she was on the ball and had every question I needed answered within minutes (even the stupid ones from me) Spectrum cover and its team are spot on! No hassle, fuss free and settled my claim very quickly even though major works were required. Once again massive thank you to Caitlin and the team at Spectrum Warranty

1st claim
Just had my 1st claim. Emily dealt with it in a polite, calm and professional manner and explained what to do. My only concern is that it has taken 2 days to receive a call back. Check the policy carefully, for example, air con repairs have a £45 incl vat limit which is well out of date for a modern car

Lois Saved Me Money and a Lot of Stress
I was genuinely stuck between a rock and a hard place with a potential warranty claim. Our policy only covered labour costs up to a certain rate, but the approved garage that was initially recommended to us had advised us to take the car to a main dealer because their diagnostic equipment wouldn’t be able to identify the faults on our particular vehicle. The problem was that the main dealer’s labour rates were significantly higher than what our policy covered.
When I called Spectrum back, I spoke with Lois, who immediately understood the situation. She recommended a garage close to the main dealer, explaining that they were excellent to work with and that she’d be very surprised if they couldn’t carry out the diagnostics we needed. She also reassured me that Spectrum had an agreed labour rate with them, meaning the work would remain well within our policy cover.
After contacting the garage Lois recommended, everything was exactly as she said. They were able to help, and the agreed labour rate meant I avoided potentially significant additional costs.
Lois saved me a great deal of money and an enormous amount of stress. Her knowledge, understanding, and willingness to help made all the difference. Thank you, Lois!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review.
I was delighted to read your comments and to hear about the positive experience you had with Lois. We appreciate that warranty claims can sometimes be stressful, particularly when there are concerns around repair options, diagnostic requirements and potential costs outside of policy cover. It is therefore especially pleasing to hear that Lois took the time to fully understand your circumstances, explain the available options and help identify a suitable repairer that could meet both your vehicle's needs and the requirements of the policy.
Your review highlights exactly the level of service we strive to provide. Lois' knowledge of our repair network, her understanding of the policy and her commitment to finding a practical solution clearly helped to avoid unnecessary expense and provided reassurance at a time when you were understandably concerned about the outcome.
I know Lois will be genuinely pleased to read your comments and to know that her efforts made such a positive difference. Feedback such as yours is incredibly valuable, and we are grateful that you took the time to share your experience in such detail.
Thank you once again for your kind words and for choosing Spectrum.
