Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Jeremy Lemken during an onsite inspection held by a third-party verification company with no biases towards Omega Auto Care.
Ensurity Group Ventures or EGV Companies is an umbrella company for Omega Auto Care & Mechanics Choice. Jeremy Lemken expressed that it's one company that promotes two different products. These products essential act as insurance policies for their customers. He further explained the difference between the companies, "Omega Auto Care was developed to cover a certain class of vehicles, and Mechanics Choice was developed to cover a separate class of vehicles. This allows us to be competitive on most vehicles across the board." These products act as service contracts for mechanical breakdowns for consumers who no longer have coverage on their vehicles. They provide different levels of coverage to satisfy the needs of a plethora of customers.
Leads for Ensurity Group Ventures are primarily obtained through 35 direct to consumer marketing companies that are independently owned. These companies utilize telemarketing, mail advertising, and online advertising to gain customers. Mr. Lemken explained the sales process after a coverage plan is purchased, "when you purchase the coverage, the coverage is explained to you and you are given a service contract in the mail. We have a 30-day money back guarantee of time to review the coverage and decide whether or not you want to keep the coverage. There is a 30-day 1000 mile waiting period before filing a claim. You have an ID card that you take to the mechanic. The customer is out of the mix at this point. The service department will reach out to our claims adjusters. We have claim advocates in our customer service department that will reach out to the consumer to let them know the claim is filed." Mr. Lemken further stated, "once they pick up the vehicle there is a $100 deductible regardless of how many things are fixed. Our cut off for the age of the vehicle is 15 years and 250,000 miles. For vehicles over 200,000 miles, it’s a very basic: engine, and transmission only. This means just the engine block and transmission. We address this up front. Our coverage never changes, so if you purchase a policy on a 15-year-old vehicle for 5 years, the coverage stays the same for the duration."
CUSTOMER CARE & COMPLAINT RESOLUTION – OMEGA AUTO CARE
During the on-site interview, Mr. Lemken was asked to describe a situation where a client was not satisfied with the level of service they received. Mr. Lemken expressed that their most common complaint arises when a customer doesn't fully understand the terms of their coverage. Mr. Lemken, who deals with all complaints personally, described the following scenario, "we had a lady that has a BMW and we have paid out nearly $4,000 in claims since she bought the policy in February. She filed a claim on the serpentine belt. Rubber items are not covered in the exclusionary coverages or brand-new cars when you drive them off the lot. She filed a complaint through consumeraffairs.com and gave us a one-star review. She canceled the policy and had only paid in $800. She bought a $3,200 policy that she was refunded on and canceled. We had paid out $4000 in claims. I spoke with her and apologized that she didn’t understand the coverage. I ended up reimbursing her another $800." Due to their extensive customer service policies, Ensurity Group Ventures has a 97% approval rating on covered components and 99.8% customer satisfaction rating.
When asked to comment on complaints posted on Ripoff Report's website Mr. Lemken responded to the active reports stating the following, "the first complaint isn’t even someone that bought a policy. I responded and asked this person to contact us and provide additional info about the complaint. He proceeded to explain the next complaint, "this person was over 30 days and was asked to mail in paperwork showing what the mileage of the vehicle was. This customer yelled at the customer service rep, and a supervisor. The customer was canceled for non-payment. I will refund this customer every dime they put into it, all $150. The customer kept hanging up on us when we tried to resolve it." Ensurity Group Ventures is dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service. This is reflected in their many accreditations, "we have an A+ rating with the BBB. We have 80+ positive reviews to 18 negative reviews. On ConsumerAffairs.com we have a 4.3 rating out of 5 and are considered one of the top 5 auto warranty companies in the country. We don’t pay to be higher. That’s organically, not by paying for it."
When asked what type of changes they have made to honor their commitment to making things right with the consumer per the request of Ripoff Report, Mr. Lemken stated, "before we would only audit the sales call. Now we audit how the call was generated. If it’s a telemarketing company, they have a frontier that is making numerous calls to find someone interested in hearing about the coverage. We didn’t listen to the front of the call and we were getting some feedback that was kind of disturbing. Now we audit the call from front to back. We included things that have to be disclosed to the customer before the end of the call. Includes the fact that there is a 30-day waiting period, limits to liability if there are any on the policy, what we will pay out, and the 30-day money back guarantees." Additionally, they have implemented the addition of terminology to their agreements that the marketing partners must sign in order to promote their products. This ensures that all internal staff is on the same page with the education of their products.
Ensurity Group Ventures is proud to be a part of Ripoff Reports Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, "Honestly, I am extremely excited about it. Ripoff Report is a great model or tool for companies that want to get better and not hide from their complaint. I am excited to create a new platform for customers to voice their opinion right or wrong and it gives us the opportunity to grow and learn and make things right in cases where we weren’t perfect. We do like the idea to give customers the opportunity to tell us how to get better. I am excited to partner with Ripoff Report not only for us but for our consumers."

NOW TO THE ORIGINAL REPORT THAT WAS FILED
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When Omega Auto Care contacted me on March 28, 2016 I felt pressured to make a deposit right away. They wouldn't allow me to validate their claims that my warranty had expired. I was told I couldn't hang up or I would miss out on this opportunity. I was told I could cancel within 30 days if I changed my mind. I didn't feel comfortable so I canceled it on April 7,2016. Well I tried to cancel but a very Rude agent told me I couldn't do it over the phone so I asked to speak with a supervisor which was even more rude to me. I sent a cancellation letter first class mail which was received on April 13,2016. I called again May 7,2015 at 4:48 The man I spoke with said it can take up to 30 days for the refund. Every time I called each person was rude and was worse. Now it's going to be almost 90 days and I have yet to receive my refund or even a phone call to explain the delay. The the worst thing is they continue to bill my credit card. Today June 13, 2015 I called again and spoke to an agent called Matt O'Brien and he now tells me that he doesn't know why they haven't cancelled it and that my file have no cancellation information. I am so tired of the run around this company has be going through. This is a disrespect to consumers. I have all the documentation and still no refund.
