There are so many auto warranty companies. I have never heard of this one so I looked it up. In my personal opinion I would never do business with a company that will only give me a quote if I give them my phone and email. These companies have the data to quote you online but they will only give it to you personally so they can inflict the "hard sell". Their form reminded me an experience that I had last year with a local tire company. You had to enter all your info online then someone would call you back with the price. The price the "closer" quoted me was nearly double the next lowest price and that salesman called me twice more after I told him no. Once they have you phone #....
So be careful, this may very well be a very reputable company but you just can't be sure. I had a friend once who told me there was a man who owned a similar company somewhere around Akron, OH who was building a new 1.5 million dollar home. He said "You don't build million dollar homes paying out warranty claims"

I did some research on them. They seem to be ok. I am sure any of the companies have hoops to jump through.
I have a copy of the contract, it does seem fairly straight forward.
A few years is a couple of thousand for the coverage.
I would be ok with a 3 year coverage for a couple of thousand.
I am going to look into them more.

Whatever company, just make sure you get an exclusionary policy.

I completely understand. I do not give out my information freely.
However, I did speak to a rep after giving my info to them.
Anything but hard sell tactic's. Pleasant person to deal with.
I have all the information and will most likely go with them.
Just making sure they are a solid company to deal with.

Have you had a claim with them yet? Their prices are really good for older Porsches- I see positive reviews for their pricing, but nothing regarding paying for claims. I am on the fence with them and fidelity right now...

I'm wondering the same. I'm looking into them for the new to me 06 C2S Cab and all of their contracts and coverage seem good. They do try the sales tactics (manager specials, etc. if you wait a day) but the value for the contract seems really good.
Any experience on claims or other issues after purchasing?

Top 217 Reviews and Complaints about ASAP Auto Warranty
After reading the comments I did a little Google work and found the above. Might be worth a check, there seems to be some areas where all is not good.

There seem to be some complaints about them not paying up or stating that it was a previously existing issue.
However, I take complaints with a grain of salt because:
a.) People without issues do not wrte the complaints
b.) They do have a A- rating with BBB--not great but not a scam
c.) They were cheap and take credit cards with gives you a secondary recourse.
My '12 X5d is just out of warranty. Every time something breaks, it seems to be around $1k to fix it. The last item was a $1,500 fix but I raised a stink with BMW and they covered 95% of it. I was going to dump the X5d but knowing that buying a new SUV will give me more than that in depreciation just driving off the lot not to mention taxes etc.
So, I figured I would keep the X5d for another year or so and see if my needs change (with my forthcoming first child) and revisit the new SUV issue in a year. 4 year exclusionary policy with wheel and tire protection and zero deductible is $2k.
I will let you know how they treat claims once I have one. Also, I have a year left on my 997 CPO so if I still like them by then I will get it for the Porsche.
