Thing is, I returned that old car ages ago because it was rubbish, but they never cancelled the warranty. I’ll just have to explain that next time and hopefully get them to stop ringing.

Didn’t feel pushed or anything like that.1 yearThe warranty on my car actually ends tomorrow, so this call might legit be real.1 yearGot a call about a warranty for a car, but it wasn't even my make or plates, so I told them off pretty quick. Definitely dodgy business.2 yearsThis number has rung me about six times over the last week and never once left any voicemail.

No message at all makes me think it’s dodgy.2 yearsHas anyone else had a call from "My Car Warranty" claiming to be Auto Protect?
