My dealer sold me tire insurance. I had a flat tire and tried to put through a clain to the company - safe guard which handles the claims. First they told me I had to fax them the original agreement. I thought this was strange as I wondered why they would not have a copy - and they I thought maybe this is just a way of denying people claims b/c I'm sure a few people lose their agreements. Anyways I found the agreement faxed everything in. Anyways they denied the claim. The agreement says they are to pay for repair or replacement cost of tire if tire can not be repaired. The tire had a nail in it, after I got the nail I immediately slowed in controlled manner to side of road. The dealer said they could not repair tire as tire had side damage from run on flat. The run on flat was less than 10 seconds and could not be avoided. So this is why I was denied. Now I'm upset but there is not much I can do about it except to post here and say to you guys/girls I was a fool to buy this in the beginning - don't you be too ! Also maybe just one person might not buy safeguard b/c of my post and this might give me some revenge. I'm not sure why bmw would be selling such products. Above all what is is the worst about the whole thing is when they told me you must fax in the original agreement .. at that moment I should have wasted no more time and just gave up trying to get any money back. Well enough of my rant.
