The only thing l didn't like was it took me 25 minutes to phone for an appointment before someone took my call. I made an appointment online , it changed the date that was why l phoned back. They used to have voice mail but this time nothing every time l call back that's why it took 25 minutes.

Disappointed at the lack of response for my concern. Had an issue with the additional insurance where I could not get the car repaired after several attempts through several different repair shops. No More

I would strongly caution all prospective people who may purchase a vehicle through McGovern to take extreme caution before getting sucked into buying their additional insurance. I tried a number of areas to take care of my car, and none would take the insurance making it useless. When I told them I didn't want the insurance anymore, they told me I would get a prorated return payment? Prorated? Really? I couldn't even use it, so the insurance as useless....and then they have the audacity to charge you for a service that was not provided. Unethical, and I would dare say Illegal. How can you charge someone for something that you promised to do, and then didn't fulfill that promise. Sounds like a scam on the insurers part as well as McGovern who pleaded the 5th when confronted about their affiliation with this insurance provider.

Hello Dan, and thank you for your review. While we understand your frustration trying to obtain coverage at a third party repair facility, our team did their best to help see you though the process. In addition, you were given a pro-rated refund when you voiced your displeasure. As with any insurance — auto, health, etc. — there is not often a refund if you do not use it. You have had your vehicle for quite a while, so a pro-rated refund is fair, and better than industry standard. We apologize that you were not satisfied overall, but we contest any moral, ethical, or legal questions regarding our business practices. Customers are the only reason we exist as a business, and we take their satisfaction very seriously.

The only comment I have is that McGovern is selling the insurance. The insurance that you sell is not viable and therefore can't be used as advertised. So I purchased a product that did not meet its advertised commitment. This would be considered a contractual agreement, advertised, pushed on me as being viable and then signed through McGovern. McGovern gets a portion of this sale. So to say that you are absolved of any culpability is wrong. I am involved in business. If I use a second party to assist with my business and that service is paid for by one of my customers and they do not perform, I take full responsibility to resolve the issue and/or terminate the relationship with the questionable and negligent third party vendor. Of course, this is my personal interpretation of proper business etiquette and what it means by putting the customer first. If you have made the decision to continue to sell that insurance, that insurance that is proven to be problematic and not worth the contractual agreement that was signed, then McGovern is knowingly allowing the behavior to continue and do so while collecting a portion of the proceeds. I'll take this one on the chin and learn from this for sure. I certainly wish this was handled differently. As a note, I am sure you have obtained all the information concerning my issue provided by your employees. (Isn't that interesting to come to a conclusion, without reaching out to get my side??) Or maybe it was just more convenient to get their side, make your declaration about customer satisfaction, close the case and move on. Food for thought! "Let the Buyer Beware!!!"
