I am in the market shopping around for a Mercedes Benz. I found this dealership in Maryland which I like. The dealership's finance manager ran my credit and I got approved with 0 down, now while the finance manager was going over my approval he started to go over what I need and do not need. He said I should get the GAP insurance and a warranty. He told me that they can offer me the "BEST" warranty service provider in the business and that's when he mentioned ProGuard Warranty. Then he took out his cell phone and googled Proguard warranty and showed me how many great reviews they have. At first, I said sign me up for their best package which came up to $5900 for 6yrs/100,000 miles. I also said before I signed any documents I want to go home and look up the reviews myself. From what I've read, it seems like all the good reviews ProGuard has gotten came from their employees and some of the owner's friends. On the negative side, Proguard doesn't do a good job living up to their word when it comes to covering mechanical issues under their warranty plan. Another review I read was very disturbing, one gentleman was having problems with his transmission on his Jeep Cherokee and when he brought it to the shop, the shop contacted Proguard who then in turn told them they should find a used transmission and install it. That's is very Low Standard from a company who claims they are the best in the business. I did some some more research into ProGuard and I see that they are associated with PepBoys and a bunch of Mom and Pop's businesses. Now folks, check this out, Proguard warranty PREFERRED VEHICLE PROTECTION PLAN PROVIDER FOR PEPBOYS, can you imagine bringing your 2016 Mercedes Benz S550 or a BMW to Pepboys for a major issue? Are you freaking kidding me? PEPBOYS.?

From what I see, Proguard warranty is only good for American made vehicles such as Fords, Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge and "maybe" Japanese cars such as Toyota's or Honda's that can be fixed at PepBoys where the parts are cheap, but NO German made Luxury vehicles such as Mercedes Benz, BMW and Audi's or any other European made cars. Folks, if you purchase a German make car be sure to get the MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY PLAN. Mercedes Warranty is $200 less than what Proguard is offering. I want to protect my investment so therefore, I am going to buy my warranty from Mercedes. I am glad I looked up the reviews myself and I see that this is not a good product or a reputable company. I rather be safe than sorry.

Manufacturer's warranty is the way to go!
