Best Automobile Insurance

Whether shopping for car insurance or warranty programs, finding a reputable company that will be around is crucial.  Recently Great Lakes Warranty Corporation filed for bankruptcy and went out of business, according to “Car Insurance Company Leaves Customers Out In Cold.”  The story is from The Pittsburgh Channel as reported by Paul Van Osdol.  They have left thousands of car owners with warranties that most likely will be useless because of the demise of the company.  According to court documents, there are more than 24,000 consumers holding warranties with this now defunct car insurance warranty company.

The Better Business Bureau has already received hundreds of complaints regarding claims that have gone unfulfilled.  Filing a claim with the bankruptcy court is really the only way to try and recoup some of the money spent on a now useless car warranty.  While bad luck happens to good people, researching the history of the company you are purchasing any type of insurance through is crucial.  Estrella Insurance and Mercury Insurance are smaller car insurance companies with good reputations for protecting their customers.  By researching through the company’s website, the Better Business Bureau, and other consumer recommendations, hopefully you can avoid the problems that these warranty consumers are dealing with.
