If your phone rings and you hear “your car warranty is about to expire”, you’ve experienced a warranty robocall. These calls have become one of the most common consumer complaints in the U.S.—and they rarely lead to legitimate coverage.

Instead, warranty robocalls are the front door to high-pressure call centers selling overpriced, low-value contracts that leave drivers unprotected when repairs are needed. Here’s what you should know.

What Is a Warranty Robocall?

A warranty robocall is an automated message sent out by call centers to millions of phones at once. Their goal is simple: scare you into thinking your coverage is about to run out and push you to buy a contract over the phone.

These calls often use phrases like:

  • “Your factory warranty has expired.”

  • “This is your final notice.”

  • “Act now before it’s too late.”

They sound urgent—but they’re scams.

The Problem with Warranty Robocalls

Drivers who respond to robocalls often find themselves:

  • Overpaying – Contracts are marked up well above fair prices.

  • Under-covered – Exclusions and loopholes leave costly systems unprotected.

  • Frustrated – Claims are denied or delayed when breakdowns happen.

  • Trapped – Contracts are difficult to cancel.

Robocalls aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous for your wallet.

How to Spot a Warranty Robocall

Look out for these red flags:

  • Calls that begin with an automated voice.

  • Urgent language like “final notice” or “last chance.”

  • No clear explanation of the provider or coverage.

  • Pressure to give payment info right away.

If it sounds like a scare tactic, it’s probably a warranty robocall.
