Good outcome. Not good customer service
Was spoken to like a nobody on the phone when I enquired. Fortunately was able to get my problem fixed. The turn around time for my claim was less than 24 hours

Lifesaver at Christmas time..
I added break down insurance through AWN when I purchased my last 2nd hand vehicle. At first I was disappointed to find that it did not cover some of the issues I was having just prior to Xmas, however with what it did cover I was able to come up with the money for the other repairs myself in the end.. The claim process was seamless and very fast turn around, I was able to use my choice of repairer whom they communicated with fantastically & work was able to begin on my vehicle within 24 hrs from lodgement.

I was disappointed with AWN last year. HOWEVER, I am so surprised and impressed this year!!!!
My name is Simon Yun
Warranty Number: PKLE105496
Last year 2022, I had a problem with my car which is an engine problem so, I made a clam to cover that by AWN, but It was not approved because it was not included within coverage. I was really disappointed and I was shocked when I realised the details of the coverage. I honestly thought that I wasted the amount of the payment to buy AWN service for my car. I thought that I will should not buy any warranty for my next car again.
HOWEVER,
At this time, I have another issue which is air-con IN TH...Read more

Excellent customer service!
I purchased a car privately and took up the option of an AWN warranty. Best thing I've ever done, A/C failed within a month of the purchase, after contacting AWN the car was assessed at a local workshop within a week and repaired as soon as the parts arrived. The AWN representative I dealt with was very helpful and professional and the whole process was hassle and stress free.

Allowed a secondary quote, approved quickly
Quote was given and approved quickly, however an issue arose where the quote was understated. The whole front of the van needed to come off to repair the fault. An amended quote was issued, AWN were quick to accept the issue and to provide for the amended quote, exceptional for an insurance company, this allowed for the claim to be assessed for the extra work and I wasn't out of pocket. So very happy we paid for the insurance and that their service mantra lived up to and beyond just talk, their action is/was greatly appreciated. Staff were calm and very helpful in dealing with the complex repair.

Repair Alternator
Had a faulty Alternator on my Chrysler 300 which caused my good battery to fail. AWN approved for Alternator repair (I have top cover which mirrors the manufacturer cover). However, AWN would not pay for the battery which was disappointing and not fair they always come up with policy terms not covered, YES I know its not covered but the Alternator caused the problem and you paid for repair but not battery. My battery was my good working battery. This is unfair and I am still upset about it cost me $279 for new battery. Wish there was another...Read more

A life saver!
A stressful situation that was quickly turned around by the helpful claims team.
I have had the policy for a few years and this is my second claim and both have been rewarded in full.
Never not getting insurance.

Second Claim Experience - Great as usual
Second claim experience, great response like the first one. This time the repair shop dealt directly with AWN, I just had to confirm the breakdown and the report the case. Assessed and approved within few hours.

Fuel Management failure
I purchased my vehicle and Protection Plan 4 months ago. I noted black smoke being exhausted increasingly & power decreasing whilst on short holiday. I notified AWN that I had these issue and gave to Nationwide Diesel Services to investigate and repair. NDS diagnosed deteriorated turbo hoses cracked, and fuel control & regulator valves defective.
When issues were diagnosed and quotes sent to AWN for assessment, it was only a matter of hours that AWN had contacted NDS to authorise the majority of the repairs, labour and diagnosis. Extremely happy with the service provided by AWN, and repairer.

This was helpful
The amount we would have had to pay out of pocket was high rocket. AWN helped with maximum pay without trouble. They were always ready to answer my questions. They even tried to negotiate the repairer for a cheaper price to help us out. And the process was very easy

Cover the bare minimum
Paid $1900 for AWN extended mechanical warranty, had an EGR failure on my Ford Everest, which resulted in the engine overheating causing irrepairable damage to pistons, heads, turbo etc. Result was a new engine required, which cost over $18,000. AWN were contacted, and stated they only cover the root cause of the problem (EGR failure) which was $1500 to replace... leaving me with a bill in excess of $16,500 when I thought I was fully covered. Luckily for me, Ford Australia paid the majority of it, even though it was out of warranty. I don't...Read more
really see what the point of having full, comprehensive, extended mechanical warranty when you refuse to cover mechanical damage. Only reason this wasn't a 1 star review is that customer service was good, easy to contact and talk too, and somewhat sympathetic.2 comments

Waste of Money
What a mistake it was to take up extended warranty with AWN. Air Con broken, told to send ALL service records (held at my accountants) then leave car with THEIR authorised mechanic for 2 hours to be accessed.
Then if claim excepted car needs to go back to mechanic. Very time consuming for all concerned and a BIG waste of money on insurance. Thanks for NOT making it easy AWN.
