Tire & Wheel claim denied

Fewer people complain about Tire & Wheel, but the story repeats. A blowout or a damaged wheel, a claim, and a denial over notice or what counts as covered damage.

What's going on

In one thread, a dealer-sold plan (the poster said it was run by Safe-Guard) denied a claim because the owner didn't call at the moment of the blowout.

Check who actually runs your tire and wheel plan. It's on your contract, and it may not be Good Sam.
