Strongly recommend not to buy extended warranty with this company when purchasing a new vehicle. Usually we don't buy extended warranty for new car, but we bought the Volkswagen Protection Plus 5 star extended warranty provided by LGM in April 2015 when we bought a 2015 Golf TDI, specially because the dealer advertised it was transferable if no claims were made. Then Volkswagen diesel scandal came and we decided to return this car back to VW. Since this car is still under VW factory warranty, the extended warranty is not in effect yet, we contacted LGM to cancel the extended warranty. LGM refused the cancellation and returning money though some TDI owners actually successfully cancelled the warranty from them, LGM claimed that they changed the policy. We were directed to contact the selling dealer to get the credit for next purchase . However the most frustrated thing happened, they are willing to give us only ~$1200 credit for the extended warranty which costed us more than $3000 although the extended warranty is still not in effect yet. What a loss! Another awkward thing is that we don't know where to use this credit. If purchase extended warranty for new vehicle, we have to pay much more additional money, which means lose more money.
